    I thought the scripture was quite clear with that whole “Thou shalt not kill” part…

      Ah, but that says not to kill people. It says nothing about killing rats! /s

      Seriously, though, that’s exactly why we’re so capable of committing atrocities: we dehumanize each other until we consider it acceptable to kill. Portraying Jews as rats and subhuman is exactly how the Holocaust happened, and portraying Palestinians as subhuman is exactly how Israel is currently doing what they’re doing.
