Wisdom from Malyasia, advocating the importance of concise analytical thought and precision of speech when discussing the Israeli bombardment of Gaza. Chin tells a personal story of unintentionally hurting a friend by an inadvertently negative comment. In the case of the Israeli government action against Gaza, Chin urges readers to clearly differentiate between acts by individuals or governments, e.g. "Israeli government" instead of "Jews," and "terrorist acts" instead of "Muslims."

an important reminder made in a reflective personalized story which illustrates very well the thought process for the vital necessity of making distinctions between those whose actions we condemn and those we may thoughtlessly treat as if they are the same because they share the larger category which contains them all. illustrates in current events how commonly easy it is to fall into this .

Very insightful and well written.
