One of the most disturbing aspects of unconditional religious support for Israel is how easily it can become a justification for genocide. When you convince yourself that Israel is acting on God's behalf, that opposing Israel means opposing God, and that God's enemies deserve punishment, you have created a belief system in which even the most horrific atrocities can become righteous acts. Mass killing is no longer necessarily a crime. It can be interpreted as divine justice. The victims are no longer necessarily innocent civilians. They become enemies of God. And suddenly, morality isn't determined by what someone does, but by who does it. I find that particularly disturbing coming from people who emphasize the importance of Holocaust remembrance. If the lesson of the Holocaust was that genocide is wrong, then genocide must be wrong regardless of who commits it or who the victims are. Otherwise, what exactly was the lesson? Apparently, for some people, the problem isn't genocide. It's genocide committed by the wrong people.
