I found it amusing that OP would try to 'other' Jews by accusing them of 'othering.' It's like taking your dick out and then accusing the guy next to you of being a pervert.
Your analogy is painfully stupid.
Every viable moral framework depends upon the order of events. Self-defense isn't murder. Punishing anti-social behavior isn't anti-social. Pointing to the bad behavior of another tribe is not itself a bad behavior. And identifying a group of people after they have consistently and proudly identified themselves is not "othering" them.
Also, I reject the implied premise of "othering" as a valid concept. It is a laughably reductive term that is exclusively deployed as a strategic catch-all against behaviors that leftists deem to be wrong.
When someone says "every viable moral framework depends upon the order of events," all I ever see is people behaving like assholes and then arguing over who was an asshole first, because if it's the other guys, then they're in the clear.
But it's actually not a difficult question to answer: people have been assholes since we first climbed down out of the trees.
