Personally, I find it strange the extreme western loyalty -- almost like an over-the-top infatuation -- with Israel more than I do the hatred of Israel by the general world. That's something I definitely can't explain.

Why The Left Hates Israel
Interesting interview:
http://www.christianpost.com/news/wh...israel-123416/
Why Are Liberals Opponents of Israel?
In the 1960's, Liberals were among some of Israel's strongest supporters, but have since become some of Israel's staunchest opponents. In his new book, Making David Into Goliath: How the World Turned Against Israel, Joshua Muravchik, a fellow at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, explores the reasons behind this change.
"Leftists/liberals/progressives believe that the great moral drama of our era is "the rest against the West" or the "people of color" against the "white man." This has replaced poor-against-rich or worker-against-capitalist as the core idea of progressive thought. Seen through that lens, Israel (the "Western," "white" guys) is automatically wrong and the Palestinians (the "anti-colonialist" "people of color") are automatically right. On the other side, conservatives value Israel as a free country, a democracy, and an ally of the United States."Last edited by seer; 07-18-2014, 01:00 PM.Tags: None
