Are there really so few leftists and peace advocates?
I guess I need to do some reading.
All the Israelis I have known were left leaning.
Too bad that many of the victims of October 7th were "leftists".
Yes, I do know that there's incredible marketing in the US - especially in areas of Brooklyn that advocate making Aliah
and supporting and financing settlements in the West Bank - and reproducing at alarming rates.... and teaching their children hate.
IMHO the ultra Orthodox have been given too many passes in Israel.
However, I've noticed that many people do not recognize the genocidal wishes of many Palestinians and other Middle Eastern
Arab Muslims toward Israel and Jewish people - even before the issues arising in Gaza and the West Bank. They have been teaching their children hate far longer.
Just to be clear: I abhor Netanyahu, Likud and the right wing Orthodox in Israel (well any right wing zealots anywhere in the world)
What I HATE is Trump's forcing our country into war at the request of Bibi - lately a major contributor to the animus toward Jewish people. I also think that the history of the area has not been taught in a neutral voice in universities.
I have seen actions by some Israelis as reprehensible and a shanda.
It's late and I think I'm not making sense....
