We can agree that this isn't the place for a full-blown discussion of religion, so instead let's just focus on Caitlin's comments.
Jewish or Palestinian beliefs in deity are largely irrelevant to Israel's ongoing violation of basic human rights as recognized by most of the modern secular world. I hope we can agree that Israel's ongoing terrorism and racism are reprehensible (although I'm sure Boeing and Raytheon find millions of reasons to keep it going) and should not be supported by the American government in any fashion.
This isn't about us imposing Western Progressive values on the hapless natives; an updated version of the white man's burden. You seem to view Caitlin's comments in that context, but what I see is someone whose basic sense of humanity and justice are intact, reacting honestly to a horrible and unnecessary oppression. To me, this is about are far from hubris as you can get.
