We have no love for Arab Muslims. Yet, if agents of the Israeli government raped and hacked a pregnant Muslim woman to death in Nazareth just as agents of the Syrian government raped and hacked a pregnant Jewish woman (a citizen of Syria not Israel) to death in Haleb in Syria, we would take up arms against the government of the State of Israel. Alleged misdeeds of Israel or Syria elsewhere are irrelevant. Raping and hacking pregnant women to death is not behavior we will tolerate.
