done to either of them that I am aware of. And what would you call those mobs in the streets beating up Israelis who are protesting these horrific attacks on Gaza, chanting songs, mocking the deaths of Palestinian children? We have our own racists here who were given free rein for far too long, but I cannot imagine anyone in Congress today remaining there if they were to advocate the killing of all African American children and their mothers, calling them 'little snakes'.
If the world is getting the idea that Israel's Govt is racist, don't blame the world, look at WHY the world is getting that impression.

Why don't you ask the Israelis? Maybe the racist crowds in Tel Aviv will give you a hint.
