"[S]hooting Palestinian civilians is not like shooting Vietnamese or Chechen civilians. The Palestinians aren't 'collateral damage' in a war against well-armed communist or separatist forces. They are being shot because Israel thinks all Palestinians should vanish or die, so people with one Jewish grandparent can build subdivisions on the rubble of their homes. This is not the bloody mistake of a blundering superpower but ... the deliberate strategy of a state conceived in and dedicated to an increasingly vicious ethnic nationalism. --What is Antisemitism? by Michael Neumann; 4 June 2002.
