It's almost as if all lazy humans agreed that instead of *feeling bad* about not doing the work: building society, sustaining complex thought, having hard conversations, containing emotions, being generous, etc., they'd all just make *ideologies* of why it's more moral not to.

So, we need evidence from the IDF that the media building was used by Hamas, but no evidence from Hamas when it tells us the number of non combatants killed, or by whose fire they were killed? What exactly is it about Hamas that says “trustworthy?” Is it the outfits?

More: World media & activists speak about “the children of Gaza”, never about adults, even those who put them in harm’s way. The entire concept of poor Palestinians is embodied by empathy for children, while (even dead) Israelis are “settlers”, never children, even if they are.

The more interesting part of this story is that the Swedes burnt the Quran in front of a mosque, and the Hebrew Bible not in front of a synagogue - but the Israeli Embassy. Let all who wish to claim that hatred for Jews and Israel are separate issues explain this to me.
Permitting the defacement of sacred texts is not an exercise in freedom of expression, it is blatant incitement and an act of pure hate. The whole world must join together in condemning unequivocally this repulsive act.

Totally this. American monolingualism is terrible. And it’s also a problem in expensive religious schools, where there’s much overreliance on Artscroll etc. Hebrew literacy is absolutely the key; the most secular Israeli can jump into a Bet Midrash and at least float.
