The Israel–Hamas Ceasefire, Semitic Peoples, and the Mystery of Collective Blame

Gad Saad : Why is it that even a liberal atheist intellectual like Saad seems to take it as a given that Jews would be forced into tribal defensiveness for the actions of Israel ’s corrupt and unpopular Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Gaza ? Saad has not, in his opinion, himself fallen into an illiberal tribalism that refuses to find fault with the state of Israel because of its status as “the Jewish State”.

Saad : " No Noble Person is responsible for the 44,000 + terror attacks in nearly 70 countries since 9/11 alone.” He says he can corroborate half of Saad ’s point from experience.

But the other half is the blind spot, the mystery of collective blame that sticks to Palestinians like velcro, he says.
