Is an Israeli life really more important than a Turks?
Israel’s provision of aid to Turkey in the wake of a devastating earthquake tacitly acknowledges acceptance of that obscene idea.
While Israel would argue they are doing it because it is the humanitarian thing to do, it is clear from the J… – ehh I mean Israelis – concept of “chosenness” that they are doing it to make the Turks look mean and uncharitable in comparison. And it seems to be working.
By acting with this “better than thou” attitude, the Israelis are basically thumbing their noses at the Turkish people and, actually, the entire world.
At the same time, however, there is something abject in their eagerness to offer humanitarian aid that tacitly acknowledges what so many Zionists believe – that their unfortunate neighbors are a great source of organs for harvesting, and the lives of the chosen are of hugely greater consequence.
