Michael Lerner demands condemnation of Palestinian terror in his latest e-mail. I won't read through the whole thing thoroughly, but I'm assuming the capitalized sentences bring home his main point:THERE IS NEVER ANY MORAL EQUIVALENCE
BETWEEN ONE ACT OF MURDER AND ANOTHER--BECAUSE
EACH ONE IS A UNIQUE TRAGEDY IN ITSELF, AND NOT TO BE
EXPLAINED AWAY. HUMAN BEINGS ARE CREATED IN THE
IMAGE OF GOD, THEIR LIVES ARE SACRED, AND IT IS IMMORAL
TO TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE TO ACHIEVE YOUR POLITICAL
ENDS.
I may be wrong, but was Lerner making statements like these before Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch took on the issue?
UPDATE: Lerner's e-mail is posted here.
