Reply To: Political Statements
As a strong supporter of Israel, MT, maybe you can clear something up for me. “Strong supporter of Israel” has always seemed to mean “Everything Israel does is right”, even when they’re building settlements in territory they don’t own, or they’re building fences across land they don’t own, or when they go way over the top to crack down on Palestine when a more measured approach is more reasonable. I’ve never met anyone in America who thinks we shouldn’t stand up for Israel against her many local enemies, but if you level even the smallest bit of criticism about the way they operate over there, you’re labeled “anti-Israel”. That’s never seemed reasonable to me. Have any thoughts?
