Reader comment on article: Israel's Domestic Enemy

The last time I checked, Alfred Dreyfus was oppressed because he was a Jewish scapegoat, and Theodor Herzl saw this was different than what Jews had to put up with since the temple was destroyed in 70 A.D.

Frankly, I see the demands of these increasingly hostile people following the lead of the worst of the West - namely that if I scream loud enough, and say the right words, people will fall over themselves to assuage the grievance - regardless of how contrived that grievance is.

It is frankly a display of the lowest level of knaves that conclude the building of a society embraces nihilism, rather than endeavouring to rein it in.
