Why does the Left hate Israel?

Steven,

Put down the terrorist torch, buddy. There's a new thread, we can go back to bashing someone safe - ####### Cheney.

The policies of the hawkish, armaggedon-bent neo-cons are on their way out. Trying to marginalize reasonable thinking from both Jews and Arabs in solving the Palestinian/Israeli conflict isn't going to negate their arguments for real, peaceful solutions.

Maybe in America (although even that is debatable), but certainly not in Israel.

The only real solution is a perpetual war to keep the whole region busy until their oil runs out.

Right. That's like saying Americans are all united behind Bush's policies. Israeli's are as politically diverse as we are here.

Stop quoting Jews who hate Israel.

Israelis are sick and tired of Kadima and will elect a hardliner this coming February.

Dec. 28, 2008: Jewish Voice for Peace joins millions around the world, including the 1,000 Israelis who protested in the streets of Tel Aviv this weekend, in condemning ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza. We call for an immediate end to attacks on all civilians, whether Palestinian or Israeli.

Jewish Voice for Peace joins millions around the world, including the 1,000 Israelis who protested in the streets of Tel Aviv this weekend, in condemning ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza. We call for an immediate end to attacks on all civilians, whether Palestinian or Israeli.

Israel's slow strangulation of Gaza through blockade has caused widespread suffering to the 1.5 million people of Gaza due to lack of food, electricity, water treatment supplies and medical equipment. It is a violation of humanitarian law and has been widely condemned around the world.

In resisting this strangulation, Hamas resumed launching rockets and mortars from Gaza into southern Israel, directly targeting civilians, which is also a war crime. Over the years, these poorly made rockets have been responsible for the deaths of 15 Israelis since 2004.

Every country, Israel included, has the right and obligation to protect its citizens. The recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza shows that diplomatic agreements are the best protection for civilian life.

Moreover, massive Israeli air strikes have proven an indiscriminate and brutal weapon. In just two days, the known death toll is close to 300, and the attacks are continuing. By targeting the infrastructure of a poor and densely populated area, Israel has ensured widespread civilian casualties among this already suffering and vulnerable population.

This massive destruction of Palestinian life will not protect the citizens of Israel. It is illegal and immoral and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms. And it threatens to ignite the West Bank and add flames to the other fires burning in the Middle East and beyond for years to come.

The timing of this attack, during the waning days of a US administration that has undertaken a catastrophic policy toward the Middle East and during the run-up to an Israeli election, suggests an opportunistic agenda for short-term political gain at an immense cost in Palestinian lives. In the long run this policy will benefit no-one except those who always profit from war and exploitation. Only a just and lasting peace, achieved through a negotiated agreement, can provide both Palestinians and Israelis the security they want and deserve.

This war is Kadima's last chance to turn around Israeli public opinion. These knuckleheads

have lost in Lebanon and if they lose in Gaza, Israelis will most certainly elect a hardliner

like Netanyahu (or worse, Lieberman) who won't be so nice and will get the job done.

The greatest VJ epitome of diatribe, good job AJ, you TOO can be a politician now...... we'll call you a moderate after this, since you're just attacking the left and not dropping bombs or sending underprivleged american soldiers to kick in arab doors and do some other country's dirty 'war duty' yet

I'm sure you'd follow the "Right on" course for war with Iran to protect Israel too? All Fascists FOLLOW IN! HUP HUP HUP HUHAAA!!!!

Why if one advocates peace and understanding, one is labeled left and said to hate Israel?

Peace,

Mariah

Yah the American noose wasn't silk lined ... or 'oiled' up or whatever like they claimed when we were drug into a 'war on freedom' woops, I meant 'war FOR freedom'. Wooo soak up the freedom all ye Iraqi's and Afghani's 'America has saved your tyranized souls.'

Oh yes we could add the 'war' on drugs which when likened to the 'war' on alcohol is 100 times more effective. Well we can just throw more money at it. I'll agree with the politicians when we go to 'war' with the criminal bankers.

Sorry this is Off Topic....
