Democrats and Israel

Submitted by nadia (Ukraine), Feb 22, 2012 at 02:01

Ever since the left has seen itself as the champion of the downtrodden, the civil rights movement and defending minorities (at times this goes at cross purposes to keep minorities from being equal in order to have their votes), the party line has become more and more pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel since they see the Palestinians as the downtrodden and Israel as the oppressors. Until this attitude is changed, the democrats will never be friends of Israel.
