  Parts of this op-ed are obvious distortions or misrepresentations of what happened (e.g. it leaves out how many Palestinians have been killed by Israeli assaults or targeted assassinations before the attack on Israelis and how many more after which gave rise to the rockets from Gaza), parts are correct (the failure of at least some Palestinians to accord to Israelis the same human rights they correctly demand for themselves). It's our policy to present to our readers perspectives which conflict with our own, and so we encourage you to read this.

Settlers who invaded Palestinian neighborhoods in the territories and Arab neighborhoods in Israel never experienced ugly persecution and denunciations of the kind endured by Haredim who "invaded" Ramat Aviv. Settlers who shot children in the territories were never condemned the way Haredim who open Chabad kindergartens in Tel Aviv are. Those who torched Palestinian fields and burned down mosques were treated more forgivingly than Haredi men who urged residents of secular neighborhoods to pray. --Gideon Levy
