The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) tweeted out this image with the text, “We stand in solidarity with the people of #Israel as rockets from #Hamas-controlled #Gaza rain down on them.” Okay, I understand. Of course, the ADL would stand in solidarity with the people of Israel if feather pillows were raining down on them. But there’s nothing wrong with always being on one side if that’s how you feel. Personally, I stand in solidarity with the people on both sides.

I want to answer that question, though. “What if terrorists targeted your city with rockets?” I think I can answer for America. We would overreact even more excessively than the Israelis have. We used the 9/11 attacks to fight a war with a country that had nothing to do with it, killing at least 100,000 people. I don’t think it is very helpful for Israel to ask America how it would react. We don’t have a good track record.

But I think it is very interesting that the ADL feels it needs to buy Twitter ads in this conflict. Because it is getting harder and harder for Americans to maintain their unwavering support for Israel. What we would do hardly matters. We’re a bunch of hypocrites. It doesn’t matter what we would do. We dropped two unnecessary atomic bombs on Japanese civilians. Asking us what we would do in a given situation is like asking Hannibal Lecter what he would do with a dinner guest.

It is completely wrong for Hamas to fire rockets into Israel. And I think Hamas really needs to figure out if its going to be a governing body or a terrorist group. But the fact remains that Hamas continues to be almost unbelievably impotent in their attacks. And Israel continues to be unbelievably lethal in their attacks—far more so against civilians than actual militants. And it makes me wonder if Hamas doesn’t fire its rockets just to make Israel respond in this way. If that’s the case, it’s an evil, but brilliant strategy. Because it is getting harder and harder to support the Israeli government’s reactions to these attacks.

I actually don’t take a side in this conflict. This goes right along with my 95/5 rule: 95% of the people just want to live their lives and 5% screw everything up. I stand with the 95. A bunch of them were killed in the last few days. And as usual, they were Palestinians, regardless of who started it and is ultimately to blame.
