I have to say that I find the Golda Meir quote that people keep praising to be nauseating.
The implication is that Israelis love their children more than Palestinians do. Besides the fact that that's patently ridiculous, it smacks of the dehumanization campaign that Israelis have been waging against Palestinians for decades. You cannot believe her quote and truly be an advocate of human rights for all.
Of course I see that the Palestinians are not innocent or blameless in this ongoing war. I think Dong20 said it best, there's so much blame on both sides to go around. But not loving their children enough? Why don't you just tell me that story again about how the American Indians were savages who needed to be swallowed by U.S. manifest destiny. That's a really good story too.
