‘American Jewish voices are most critical in the world’ (to end idea that Jewish lives matter more)

http://mondoweiss.net/2014/07/american-jewish-critical.html

My name is Eran Efrati, I am Jewish, a veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces, and a 7th generation Jerusalemite.

What I’ve seen in Israel over the last few weeks is beyond anything I have witnessed in my life.

I’ve seen terrified Palestinian children in Hebron and Halhul, sitting on the ruins of their homes.

I’ve seen mobs in the street chanting “death to Arabs” and pulling out Palestinian men from their stores to beat them as other Israelis stood idly by. I’ve seen soldiers lined up at the Gaza border, ready at a moment’s notice to invade.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

and also the beaten Palestinian store owners most certainly must have launched rockets (I presume into some empty parking lot or field, which seems to be a preferred military strategy).
