A rhetorical question, of course. You'll see more honesty from Israel's detractors when Hell freezes over, and not a moment earlier. “When will we see more honesty from Israel’s detractors?”

A rhetorical question, of course. You’ll see more honesty from Israel’s detractors when Hell freezes over, and not a moment earlier.

Rabbi Avigdor Miller points out that from the descriptions that we have (from the Torah, Rabbinic, and secular sources), the Jews of that time were on a much higher moral level than the Egyptions. He uses the analogy of the thermometer scales and the difference between Fahrenheit and Centigrade. Zero degrees centigrade is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 273.15 Kelvin. This mean that while the Children of Israel were about to <i>fall off the bottom</i> of their <i>moral scale</i>, they would have been considered the <b>best</b> of the Egyptians. Here, the hypocrites of the world are attempting to hold the IDF to an impossible standard and pretending that they have failed to uphold the <b>Israeli scale</b>, while refusing to acknowledge that the worst level of that standard is at the top of the standard followed by the rest of the world.
