I am neither Jewish nor conservative. I applaud your courage in speaking out against the obscenity which Bibi & his Likud far-Right religious criminals are visiting on innocent Palestinians. Yes, this is ethnic cleansing, but it is a politically-motivated crime as much as anything else, as well as a class war, as you astutely point out. My Jewish friends here in Australia are appalled as well, with a feeling of helplessness that the Israeli "homeland" is now the base for the worst sort of politics possible.
