If they are amazing people after what they went through, that's--well, it's completely humbling and amazing, but they have just as much right as anyone else to be bastards. If that makes sense. I've just never liked the implication that trauma victims SHOULD become bettered by their experiences, and I've seen that accusation leveled against Israel before, that they should know better because of the Holocaust. We should all know better because of the Holocaust. You know what I mean.

I was just trying to summarize their stance on this, what the idea of going so flagrantly against international law can be. It IS blatant, isn't it?
