It’s difficult to not behold in utter astonishment the news today concerning Israel and Jews, Gaza and Palestinians. Who would have thought even a year ago that supposed civilized persons would again be calling for destruction of Jews—the elimination of any people—once again, as if each man, woman and child of them were some monolithic evil in the world.
