Shahak some.

The practice of Judaism is "righteous" but the actions of Israel are not. Thinking that the two are inseparable i.e. the devout practice of Judaism and the actions of the Israeli government go hand in hand is well ... bigotry.

Religious fundamentalism has been prevalent in Israeli policies (and politics) for decades, disproportionally to the percentages that the religious parties are scoring in elections. The religious fundamentalists in Israel supposedly represent "the conscience" of Israel and, thus, remain immune to serious criticism about their statements or actions. The religious fundamentalists in Israeli politics have been using and interpreting the holy texts in a manner which is, in context, very similar to how Khomeini uses the Koran or Pat Robertson the Bible. And worse.

For more on this extremely important insight on how Israeli policies towards the Arab goyim have been shaped, one should turn to a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust who saw with his own eyes what bigotry and fanaticism can do to humans : Israel Shahak is essential.

Thanks for the link. Would you consider Mr. Shahak to be a "devout" practionar of Judaism? I would guess that he is. If so there's one that finds fault with Israel. There are many others.
