Assaults on Jews Reach 46-Year High

8. This sounds reasonable but doesn't hold up as an argument.

After 9/11, most Americans, from the president down, rightly pointed out the difference between the people who engineered the attack and everybody else who happens to be Muslim. The only ones implying that it was understandable that Muslim individuals might be blamed for what a few of them (or as we've now learned, the leadership of Saudi Arabia) did were right wing cretins.

Similarly, Trump and others who identify (loudly) as Christians are doing horrible things, but anybody suggesting that this means that all Christians are at risk for being blamed would be ridiculed.

Yet when the issue is Israel there's a collective shrug about terrorist attacks on Jewish people, at best. At worst we read that they deserve it because reasons.

I don't want to be blamed for the horrible things white Christians are doing.
