Oy, Oy, Oy.

I've just read all the replies to this thread and I see two types of responses:

1) Right-wing folks, who feel alone, and are cynical about how "everybody" - the left - will vindicate the lynchers and disengage from the shooter.

2) Left-wing folks, who feel alone, and are cynical about how "everybody" - the right - will vindicate the shooter and disengage from the lynching.

Israel is not a homogenous society; none of you is a lone seeker of justice and reason in a sea of unreasonable people. You're just seeing different microclimates within the same society.

I believe and hope that it is safe to assume that none of the readers feels the shooting, or the lynching, is a positive or excusable act. Any cynicism beyond that is making your fellow respondents into straw people.

Let it go, folks.
