At the end of a terrible day, it is this that leads to the burning of families whom God did not choose. No principle in Israeli society is more destructive, or more dangerous, than this principle. Nor, unfortunately, more common. If you were to examine closely what is concealed beneath the skin of most Israelis, you would find: the chosen people.

As to Liebler, I need more evidence he's a racist. The article Bradley Burstyn responded to was an obvious critique of Palestinian leadership, not the entire people.
