was totally WRONG in the case of the Jewish restaurant in Philadelphia...
They were not responsible for what is happening in Gaza...

American Jews have no responsibility for the military actions of the nation of Israel... or Jews in any other country, for that matter....

Protest at the Israeli embassies.... Even at any United States government sites.... yes, by all means...

but to target individual Jews who are not even Israelis, is just as wrong as to target Muslims who do not reside in the Middle East

Might as well target me, because I have some ancestors who owned black slaves----

but more of my ancestors fought for the Union in the civil war, to free those slaves...
