The Left On Israel
It is beyond reasonable doubt that the Left’s repeated excuses and pseudo-justifications for the decades of Muslim terrorism against the people of Israel, when stripped of their layers of dissemblation, are just another iteration of an old meme.
This Is How The Left Views Israel And The Jews
We in the Civilized World have seen and heard that particular rant many times before. Beginning in the 20th Century we stopped tolerating it and began the process of eradicating the people and groups who fostered it. It shouldn’t be considered a hard choice for any Red-Blooded American to continue doing so in this day and age.

I’ve met very few Jews, for demographic reasons, but about half have been what can only be described as tricky. This may be bad luck, but I can’t help being a little cautious given my experience. That said there seems to be bad elements in all cultures/ethnic groups. Asians seem a little conformist (as do Swedes, perhaps more surprisingly) and some Blacks take pride in not reading books and so on.
But many Lefties are clearly just hateful and in denial about it. That’s why they talk about other people as hateful all the time.

I can’t that, given the Jews’ history in Europe, that I can really blame them for being less than forthcoming in any dealings that they have with the greater populous. They’ve little enough reason to be trusting, especially with the growing Islamification of Europe and the cocombinant growing antisemitism.
That being said, there are bad apples in every population demographic including the Jews and, bluntly put, all stereotypes that last are based upon truth though those truths are exaggerated and applied with far to broad of brush.
My point in this post, however, was to point out that the Left’s continued and growing tendency to make excuses for Muslims’ terrorist attacks against the Jews in Israel seems to be nothing but a cover for their antisemitism.
What other group – except possibly the American people at large – would the Left so consistently make excuses for those who wage a war of terror against them?

Yes, it’s clear that the Left need antisemitism as a substitute for crumbling Marxism. The reformed communist party here are very clear that they want the Jews out of Israel and not a two-state solution. Of course what they really need is for the conflict to continue. Peace would be devastating for them. They need the conflict to conceal their antisemitism with. Peace would be devastating.

That could very well be, Paradigm; I’m not conversant enough in the details of your nation’s political parties to comment on that.

I have worked with Jews, a part-Jew has married into the family, I have had some great conversations with Jews…and sure, there is probably some truth to the stereotype of Jews being “stingy.”
But damn, are they smart. π I really don’t know where the world would be right now without the brains of so many Jews. How many Nobel prizes have they been awarded so far? (And no, I’m not talking about useless ones like what were awarded to Gore and Obama.)
