DemolitionRed mentions Jews "openly supporting Israel". Well, I don't know many Jews who do actively and openly support the Israeli state in everything they do. As for last year's military action, it started when three young Jewish hitchhikers were murdered by Hamas.
It seems sad to me that while ordinary Jewish people - not Israelis, let's make that clear - have to be protected by armed police that people are worrying about an anti-Muslim backlash.

It does more than make me 'sad' - it makes me angry and bewilders me.
