*Jewish and Arab Israelis [arrested], fired from jobs and even attacked for expressing sentiments interpreted as pro-Hamas.*

Criticism of Israel and support for aspects of Palestinians' rights have subtle gradations, and it is not unusual for annexationists and supporters of Israel's occupation of Palestine to distort the views of those that criticize them.

In the examples in the article, the distortions range from subtle to gross and blatant.

We should stand with Israel against HAMAS and its terrorism. However, we must not allow that to mean (or be taken to mean) that we support all Israeli acts (even if violent or cruel) which according to Israel are "directed against HAMAS."

Meanwhile, anyone who cares about Israel should now help stand for human rights and democracy in Israel.
