Your sense of guilt, if that is the correct word, should not derive from criticizing Israel.

Sara Roy speaks to Germans
The challenge in Germany today is to defend the memory of the Nazi holocaust and to condemn its abuse by American Jewish elites; to defend Jews from malice and to condemn their overwhelmingly blind support for Israel’s brutal occupation. But to do this requires real moral courage–not the operatic kind that politically correct Germans so love. –Norman FInkelstein, 17 years ago
