Israel Is Making It Hard To Be Pro-Israel

[GetInTheTruck]

A few of my thoughts on Israel, and Palestine...

1. The conflict is a mess.
2. I don't want the U.S. government to intervene.
3. All sides seem to have their fair share of flaws.
4. Calling out something bad that one side is doing does not automatically mean that you support the other side.
5. Palestine is doomed.

Basically where I'm at.

Ezra Klein makes a good point that really highlights why Obama/the US can't really say much and be credible. Every time we blow up a family with a drone, or bomb a car and accidentally kill a kid, etc we create a new wave of terrorists. So how can we argue with a straight face that Israel needs to stop the reckless killing because it is counter productive and breeds hatred? We're doing the same shyt. It's a never ending cycle of violence.

MESSAGE!

I think Chait's a great writer, and I think this gives a great perspective on how Israel's actions are turning liberal Jews against them (the right wing is still going to be the right wing). These are people that actually want Israel to succeed. This combined with the map I was showing about Israel's lack of support worldwide shows the damage this Netanyau regime has done.



In a separate article, I think Ezra Klein hits on a good point about how fruitless these actions are for Israel strategically.



@88m3 I don't see how you can defend what Israel is doing right now. As someone who is neither "pro-Israel" or "pro-Palestine" but simply pro-peace, there's just no way to defend this shyt.

Liberal Jews didn't support Israel in the first place.

This conflict is making it difficult for me. On one hand, Islam is a disease. On the other hand, indiscriminately killing children, even if they might have been destined for Islamic fukkery is
