But it’s estimated that Joseph Stalin murdered anywhere from 20 to 60 million people, and Pol Pot killed at least one quarter of his population. Why is the life of a Jew more valuable than the life of a Russian or a Cambodian? And if Leitner believes Russian and Cambodian life is not very valuable, I’m sure he feels the same way about Palestinian life. If the Israelis valued Palestinian life it’s a safe bet they wouldn’t treat the Palestinians as horribly as they do.
