In the obvious contradiction between ethnoreligious nationalism and democracy, I choose democracy every time. Even if it's an ethnoreligion I belong to.

And I am firmly of the conviction that history will absolve me. Our children, Jewish and gentile alike, will eventually look at the images of the starving children in Gaza and wonder why the world did nothing to stop it.

Just as I have heard passed down stories of how some of my own ancestors faced the horrors of the European fascists and also read the memoirs of people who survived, wondering how someone let a political movement so vile and beastly as the Nazis gain absolute power.
