Why the soldier at the checkpoint is worth less than the terrorist in front of him

They come in the name of “humanity.”
They speak of “human dignity.”
They hold signs that say “End the Occupation,” and chant in perfect harmony:
“Equal rights for all human beings!”

But the moment you — a human being from the “wrong” side of the map — dare to ask for a little equality too, you suddenly become the enemy of the public.

What Are “Human Rights”? Depends Who’s Asking

According to the slogans, they sound simple enough:

• The right to life, liberty, and security.
• The right to a fair trial.
• The right to freedom of religion.
• The right to self-determination.
• The right not to be discriminated against because of race, sex, gender, or belief.

Beautiful words. Inspiring, even.

So how come when a resident of South Tel Aviv asks for safety from infiltrators — he’s a racist?
When a bereaved mother demands deterrence against terror — she’s an inciter?
And when a Jew lays tefillin at a junction — he’s “disturbing the public space”?

Who Protects Your Rights? (Spoiler: Probably Not B’Tselem)

When a terrorist is injured — there’s video footage, a petition, a lawyer, and a UN condemnation before nightfall.
When a soldier is injured — there’s silence, an internal investigation, and maybe a line buried at the bottom of a news alert:

“A complex incident in the West Bank — unclear who opened fire.”

When ultra-Orthodox Jews are attacked — it’s “a clash between communities.”
When a settler gets scratched — it’s “settler violence.”
And when a left-wing protester is bruised — democracy itself is declared to be in danger.

The Real Test: Whom You’re Forbidden to Criticize

Try saying something about the special treatment Palestinians get in court — you’re “immoral.”
Raise a question about disproportionate affirmative action — you’re “regressive.”
Ask why Israeli judges are so lenient with Arab rioters — you’re instantly labeled “racist.”

No debate needed. Just a stamp and social cancellation.

The Mechanism: Rights as a Weapon — Used to Erase Yours

Freedom of speech? Sure, as long as you’re not right-wing.
Freedom of protest? Depends where — and who’s holding the megaphone.
Freedom of religion? Of course — unless it’s Jewish faith beyond the Green Line.
Right to security? Yes — but not if it “harms the rights of the local population.”
(Even if “local population” means your ancestors lived there since the Book of Joshua.)

But There’s Hope: Rights Don’t Belong to the Left Alone

More and more citizens are waking up and asking:

Why can’t I proudly say I’m a Jew and a Zionist without being called an “extremist”?
Why are there rehabilitation programs for terrorists — but not for the residents of the Gaza border towns?
Why is an illegal Palestinian construction “a legitimate protest,”
while an Israeli house in Judea and Samaria is “a grave violation of international law”?

The Bottom Line: If Rights Are for Everyone — Then They’re for Everyone

A soldier at a checkpoint is worth at least as much as the Palestinian charging at him with a knife.
Your right to live in a safe neighborhood isn’t “racism” — it’s humanity.
Your right to love your country doesn’t make you a fascist.

So what should we demand?

• Human-rights NGOs that also defend Jews.
• A justice system that remembers every defendant has a victim too.
• Citizens who stop buying slogans and start asking:
  “Whose rights are being protected here — and at whose expense?”

Because real human rights aren’t selective.
And morality that works only in one direction — isn’t morality at all.
