Why does the left-hate Israel, on the surface, it doesn't make sense. Israel is a liberal democracy,

it extends full rights to women, to gays, and to its many Arab citizens.

Like all countries which are made up of flawed human beings, Israel is flawed.

But compared to most countries, not to mention its neighbors, it is a civil rights paradise.

blowing up Israelis and pizza parlors and at weddings, the left's position never changed.

8. Palestinians good, Israel bad because the Palestinians were weak, and Israel was strong.

That's one of the three ways the left judges the world, you contest this theory in other ways.

Why is the United States bad? Because it's strong. And third world countries that oppose the
