&quot;Don’t you think it’s better to damage the entire society in a broad spread, than having a few individuals taking all the damage? Of course you don’t, you are hypocrat liberal white people&quot;<p>No ... but if you write the same exact blog post replacing &quot;terrorism&quot; with &quot;automobiles&quot;, you can make a very good argument for outlawing cars.

What&#x27;s hypocritical about not wanting to live in a surveillance state?

Putting aside the condescending tone of the article, the actual argument represents the typical Israeli knee-jerk reaction to terrorism, and the absolutely myopic, black-and-white, I-don&#x27;t-give-a-shit-about-anyone-else&#x27;s-pain-because-we&#x27;ve-been-through-the-holocaust world view so proudly exhibited by the Israeli mainstream.<p>I&#x27;m also Israeli (although not currently living in Israel), and I can assure you that there are many Israelis, me included, who are very disturbed by the recent NSA revelations.

Next time, please put the &quot;white people&quot; at the top, so my Ctrl-W reflex will trigger before reaching the end.

The concluding sentence screams &quot;flag me&quot;.
