it's one I've been giving thought to researching and writing, actually. What's abundantly clear to me is that the "Israel Supporters" are really no different from the people who spent their time boosting the Iraq war. It's not that they care about one side or the other. They just want people to die, and htey want to be the "winning side," because it makes them feel tough and manly.

I'm sure there's more to it. As I said, that's full-on essay stuff, though
