The conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people has exploded, again, with huge losses of life and property on both sides. As I write this, the news is saying that the Israeli government directed civilians in the Gaza Strip to seek refuge in southern Gaza; and then that same government, either intentionally or accidentally, dropped bombs on that area. I haven't read any condemnation of them by the United States or any other western government so far, perhaps because of the belief that they are 'God's Chosen People'. Or perhaps the politicians are afraid of being called antisemitic.
