Double Standards That We Would Rather Not Understand | Robert A. Blum | The Blogs | The Times of Israel

Double Standards That We Would Rather Not Understand | Robert A. Blum | The Blogs | The Times of Israel: "Our world is full of double standards, and today, more than ever, we see the most blatant double standards applied with regard to the Middle East. These double standards drive me absolutely apoplectic, perhaps because of the irritability of my advancing middle age. Perhaps it is a legacy of my legal education, which demands consistency in the application of rules of justice and logic. Or perhaps it is my sense, as a Jew with a strong sense of history, that double standards usually inure to the (often tragic) disadvantage of my people."
