There is no such a thing as a “Jewish identity”, so it can’t be better or worst. Still the attacks by those Jewish settlers and the attitude of those Jewish soldiers (and “the Bedouin or two”) are despicable. I don’t need to believe in a “Jewish identity” to think so.</p> This is in no way “a war for Jewish identity”. There is no such a thing as a “Jewish identity”, so it can’t be better or worst.
