    You can be a proud defender of Judaism whilst railing against the Israeli government’s actions, just as you can be a proud citizen of [x] country whilst not condoning, even condemning the actions of that government. It’s very sad that this point even needs to be emphasised

      I’m a proud Christian and do not condone evil actions committed by other Christians or those claiming to be. I am also proudly British yet acknowledge we have screwed up royally in the past. Just because you are proudly part of a group, doesn’t mean you have to defend it’s evil.
