Great. Now that we see an investigation into wrongdoing is all that's required to pull support, we will be ceasing support of Israel as well? Right?

They can present themselves however they like, representing all Judaism is out of their jurisdiction. But I agree, an apartheid state claiming to represent an entire ethno-religious group could potentially inspire hate against that group in people who don't fully consider the situation.

Israelis. Israel doesn't speak for or act on behalf of all Jews.
