It Ain't Me You're Lookin' For

The headline says Rice: Jewish housing plan undermines peace talks . The article means Condi thinks there's an issue with housing as part of the ongoing dilemma between Israelis and Palestinians.

Note to world: Stop saying Jews when you mean Israelis. It doesn't do my tribe any good. And stop thinking every Jew agrees with everything Israel ever does, did or will do.

Yes, American Jews have historically had an "Is it good for Israel?" approach on things like voting. But we also have a strong sense of human rights, and we know about being on the cruddy end of the stick, and realize that abuse is abuse, and it's still wrong even when you're on the power end of the stick.

/End rant here./
