My family are Arab Jews who come from Fezzan in Southern Libya where Jews
have been oppressed by Arab Muslims for over one thousand years.  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.
