General Discussion

People keep trying to boogeyman-ize it with "Netanyahu" and hysterical, unjustified hyperbole about genocide and child killing. But, the fact is that we live in an imperfect world. You have to compare Israel to its neighbors.

Go to the map with a straight edge. Put one end in Israel. Now, what is the nearest country to Israel that isn't tainted with high populations of people vehemently bigoted against gays, dismissive of other religions, highly misogynist, patriarchal, theocratic, etc.? If, as I do, you find that Israel is the most liberal, most progressive populace and nation (by far) in the vicinity, you should do the proper liberal and progressive thing. Support Israel. It couldn't be more obvious. Support the more liberal and progressive people in the region (the Israeli's) over the less liberal and progressive people in the vicinity. If you consider yourself liberal or progressive.

What am I missing?
