Awful. I can only hope that Jacobson is right, "But there can be no denying that the fighting, the conscription of almost all its citizens, the having to live cheek by jowl with a people who cannot and will not accept its presence anywhere “between the river and the sea” has been a toughening, not to say desensitising, experience." I guess its a poor excuse at best.

It's hard times to be Jewish...thanks for sharing the thoughts and quotes, especially Jacobson's. The unfathomable thing is that the drone attack on the WSK aid convoy was no accident. An internal Israeli military probe revealed that rogue commanders deliberately targeted the food convoy, knowing exactly who was in the cars while falsely believing a Hamas terrorist was hiding among them. "The probe found that the strike was ordered against the convoy of WCK vehicles after officers suspected they carried a Hamas gunman, despite a low level of confidence, and against army regulations." I'm afraid Israel is on the precipice of losing more than the world's support. I'm afraid for its soul.
