every peace proposal offered to the Palestinians they wiped their collective butts with it and threw it in Israel's face

@pancakeslam Because nothing short of a Jew-free Palestine "from the river to the sea" is acceptable.

@pancakeslam It used to be something most Americans agreed on. It's unfortunate that Israel is becoming a polarizing issue, with right-wing Evangelicals supporting it for their own reasons, and progressives opposing it as part of general sympathy for oppressed people. This is only going to become more pronounced as the Haredi community in Israel eventually dominates the country through its high birthrate and liberal Israelis flee the country. When that happens, Israel will become a theocracy similar to Iran and any support for it will be problematic.
