pretty common here in the US. And surely in lib circles in Israel.
But just like liberal Christians in the US, liberal Jews are naive when it comes to identifying their real enemy and who their real friends are. Given that you mention that you are a Jew, presumably to give weight to your opinionā¦ what role did you or your family have in defending Israel in 1967 and 1973ā¦ if any?
Iām appalled at the way Palistinians treat palestinians. And Palistinians should be thankful that Israel tolerates them as well as they do, considering none of their Arab neighbors what anything to do with them and wonāt give them a home. At least Israel gave them some land.
I have the Right of Return. That gives me skin in the game. I support the State of Israelās right to existence but that does not mean I must blindly support their governmentās policies and actions, just as I can, as an American, criticize my government and their policies.
No one in my family fought in those wars, but we always gave money to support Israel.
