Yasmin, I know of no Talmudic teaching to which you refer as "talmudic inspired policies," in aggression against
innocents. If you know of such Talmudic teachings, please identify them clearly. Smearing a whole religion does not solve
the problem of this ugly bloodshed on both sides. The shedders of innocent blood are evil, no matter what religion they purport to
operate on.
Killing and oppressing innocent people is the opposite of Jewish teachings. Remember the Jewish soldiers who refused to go
on missions against civilians. Jewish ethics are no more reflected in Israeli aggression than is the shooting of Ms. Hassan in the back of the head, the sawing off the head of Mr. Berg and others, the suicide bombings of civilians, a reflection of Islam. To react rationally does not
mean to propagate further stereotypical hatred of other groups of people and of their religions.
