[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will last about 15 minutes before it is overturned on First Amendment grounds, but maybe the pro Israel folks can take a half minute to reflect on how bad it looks that they are lining up to support someone whose playbook is looking surprisingly Hitleresque, and what this might mean for the long term support of your country?

[b]As someone who married into the tribe, I can honestly say I don’t not care one bit if Israel seeks to exist tomorrow because I’m sick of them meddling in my country. And they only have themselves to blame. [/b][/quote]

Assume that this marriage is past tense.[/quote]

Present. And my actively Jewish spouse is sick of their crap, too. We live in America and not Israel for a reason. [/quote]

And she, like you, “doesn’t care if Israel [ceases] to exist”?

Strange sort of “actively Jewish” spouse you have.[/quote]

+1. My in-laws are all Jewish in various degrees of observance. My spouse is not religious but still considers himself Jewish. And the general consensus is that Israel has the right (and the imperative!) to exist and to defend itself. And also that Netanyahu and the West Bank settlers do Israel no favors. But that Hamas/Iran/etc are to blame here. [/quote]

And this is why peace in the Middle East is so elusive: no empathy for the Palestinians who are truly truly in pain.  Have you read the book The Lemon Tree? It tells the story of Israel from the perspective of a Palestinian and an Israeli Jew.  Bottom line - the Palestinian had his hand blown up by a bomb disguised as a toy left and outside his family’s home. Think of all Israel has blown up in their current war and all the lives lost.

Nothing wrong with protesting that IMO.  [/quote]
