> [@Sevastopol](#): > > It is a fair summary of the discussion: To wit we cannot hold Israelis to the same standard as normal, civilized people. That being their conviction they should have the courage to say so. It is not a fair summary: it’s intended to aggravate people who don’t agree with you. You can argue Israel isn’t being held to the same standard as other countries, but you can’t do so by comparing Israelis to animals - nor can you get away with it by saying it is the implication of someone else’s argument rather than your own opinion. I wouldn’t tolerate this kind of statement about other nationalities or groups, and I’m not making an exception for Israel. Don’t do it again. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-not-the-green-line-then-what-line-should-be-the-israel-palestine-border/582805)._
