Blaming Judaism is beyond reasonable comment
In the P&I article by Paul Heywood-Smith of 20/10/2023 regarding the hospital bombing in Gaza, it is stated:
“I rather think that a more likely scenario is that a government which believes that it is entitled to steal another people´s land because that land was given to the Jewish people by God, might also be persuaded that God also authorised the occasional white lie if same would assist in the recovery of the land that God had earlier given.”
I don’t have a problem with Israel being criticised, even when I believe it’s over the top, but really, to start explaining the conflict because of Paul’s interpretation of what Judaism stands for is pretty outrageous.
The actions of the state of Israel must not be conflated with Judaism, anymore than the recent actions of Hamas should be conflated with Islam.
