"equality" and "empowerment"
Tair Kaminer, along with her fellow activists of the "Mesarvot" ("Refusers") group, rejects out of hand such forms of "equality" and "empowerment" - the possibility generously offered to young Israeli women to join with their male counterparts inan army of occupation and take their "equal" share in the task of daily oppressing Palestinian men and women.
It’s another one of the periodic Israeli exercises in what they delicately call "mowing the lawn". That means shooting fish in the pond, to make sure that the animals stay quiet in the cage that you’ve constructed for them, after which you go to a period of what’s called "ceasefire".
"An eye for an eye" has always been the motto of those who live under the Mosaic Law--injury for injury, injustice for injustice, death for death. There was love and mercy and forgiveness even under the Mosaic Law, but those who practice it today have focused on justice and judgment rather than mercy and forgiveness, and their justice has become injustice and their judgment has become the slaughter of the innocent and the butchery of the helpless.
