The way to protest or criticise an apartheid state with a (arguably reasonable) persecution complex, is not to make stupid racist comments.

Yeah, the "silly jews" comment should be read with a Monty Python voice...

If you think "silly jews" is actually racist, just imagine all the other words I could have used had I been truly racist.

It's not ok to be a little bit stupid with the justification that you could have been really stupid.

I think some Evangelical Christians are starting to realise that there is a conflict of principles between their support for Israel out of millenarian interpretations of the Bible on the one hand, and the treatment of Palestinian Christians by the Israeli state on the other.

I know various charitable projects through my local church that work in Israel/Palestine, and they have often voiced their frustration with the Israeli authorities, and the injustices they have witnessed against the Palestinian people.
