They’re  the worst, the hypocrites and the self-righteous. The ones who are  shocked at the scenes from Aleppo, tsking as they watch television and  certain that the world has to do something. The world, but not they and  not their country. Urgently, right now, without delay, but not they and  not their country. They are assuaging their conscience, so beautiful,  superior and moral in their own eyes. They are after all not indifferent  to the horrors of Aleppo; they are people of conscience and justice and  this pains them.   It pains them so much  – they can’t sleep at night at the sight of the dead children, they  think about their grandmothers and grandfathers in the Holocaust and how  the world stood by and did nothing and how this must not be allowed to  happen again. Never again. But not they and not their country. Somebody  else. Israel, after all, can’t. It is an enemy country and so it can’t  interfere...
