[Marxism] Revolution and Religious Fundamentalism

[S. Artesian]

Nestor and Louis have provided the answer.  I would only add that the 
history of Israel is the history of imposing discrimination and practicing 
destruction upon the original inhabitants of the territory, not vice versa. 
This situation is not unlike the situation in apartheid South Africa-- we 
don't  attempt to explain, rationalize,  the hatred by the oppressed for the 
oppressor; we identify it as just that-- hatred by the oppressed for the 
oppressor.

In starker terms--  if you want to make somebody a blood enemy for life, 
then hurt his/her child.  The Israelis have been hurting the children of an 
entire people for 60 years.
