I always thought liberals were champions of the Jewish state but that seems to have changed?

What happened?

Trump is for it, and they vehemently oppose anything he supports. That’s pretty much it, no basis to it. Just a child-like behavior

The Left now loves Muslims because they hate America as much as the Left does. And the only things Muslims hate more than America are the Jews. Therefore, the Left now hates the Jews.

Progressivism 101. You are either an Oppressor or oppressed. Thus the Left can imagine that a free country governed by The Rule of Law is the oppressor and a terrorist group (Hamas) that straps bombs to children is oppressed. It's the reason we live in a world where douchebag hippies in San Francisco wear "Queers for Palestine" t-shirts.

hint: they are the ones who are truly afraid of religion and race created by guilt and self-loathing

The same thing that fueled Hitlers... hatred and the elite.

Being against the actions of the Israeli government does not make one an anti-semite. There are numerous Jews that disagree with Israel's actions, too.

It is an apartheid regime, you have to be an Evangelical to love it.

Some of the most fervent Israel-firsters despise Trump. Bill Kristol, Jennifer Rubin and David Frum come to mind.

There are lots of reasons to find Israel distasteful that don't involve hating Jews. I have a pretty big problem with them sharing our technology with China and Russia and getting an absolute pass from criticism on being a purely fecal ally. But I don't pretend that I give two shits about the poor downtrodden Palestinians. They've done plenty to create their situation. Now, if I had spent my childhood in one of those camps I would probably be at war with Israel. Or dead. Compared to the historical norm we all won the fricking lottery growing up in 20th century Dixie. Downright idyllic.

The “left is not anti - Semitic just because many of them that Palestinians deserve a decent home and respect(and don’t deserve to be gunned down in their own neighborhoods).

The neo-cons that infested the traditional Republican establishment, like Kristol, despise/d him because of his isolationist campaign rhetoric. I'm not sure how true that still is post-Bolton, we'll see but it seems their criticisms have already dampened.

Why does it have to be one or the other? I'm not particularly fond of the Israeli government but I'm not about to throw my support behind the terrorists Hamas either.

You'd might have a point if these same liberals weren't pro Hamas.

I agree with everything you wrote but:

The Palestinians themselves have been pawns, they had no state or support in 1948 when Israel was created. Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon attacked to grab slices for themselves, they have been screwed by the Turks, British, Zionist, US and Arab neighbors, stateless people don't have a lot of control over what goes on about them.

They get to pay for the sins of Europe and get colonized by European jews with next to no Semitic blood.

Jews earn like Episcopals and vote like Puerto Ricans. They’re a hard group to figure out.

Could you edit this so that it’s coherent?
