Something They Can Agree On

I'm always amused at how people notice the idiocy and hatred of the Neturei Karta and extrapolate from there to other observant Jews, as if wearing a kippah makes you something connected to and responsible for the actions of these... well I won't put a fitting word to describe them on this public blog.

My amusement isn't from the comparing, however, but from the general ignoring non-religious Jews do of those groups from their side of the spectrum who are just as moronic. The upcoming 60th anniversary celebrations of the State of Israel have become an opportunity for those secular jews who desire to be "better gentiles than the gentiles themselves" to stand up, beat their chests proudly and announce how ashamed they are of their Jewishness and Israel because it has had the audacity to survive until now.

All this goes to show that the two extremes, left and right, eventually meld into one another. Fools from both sides are best ignored and avoided.
