Jews on Palestine

I was at a shiva a few days ago and half the conversations inevitably ended up at Israel/Palestine. Some lines from the night:

• “As Machiavelli said, ‘Don’t wound your enemy. Kill them.’”

• “They don’t want to listen to reason. They’re incapable of it. Every time Israel offers peace they spit it back in our face.”

• “They’re animals.”

• “It’ll never end until one side wipes out the other.”

Mostly older generations but one of these came from someone as young as 30. This going on at a shiva. Chill out, Jews!

Edit: I forgot my favorite one.

My girlfriend’s mom: “You know what this is, don’t you?”

Knowing what’s coming: “What…”

Her: “This is going to be the holocaust all over again.”
