"It makes me truly wonder if some of these people really want peace, or do they want the continued terror so they can keep power? "
I don't know. I have wondered. I don't have any data but just a gut instinct--a lot of secular American Jews just may not much give a sh&t about Israel--like lots of American nominal "Christians" are embarrassed by GW's faith in Jesus Christ, and don't want to be seen as "Christians."
They identify with the post-religious cultural elite. Israel, or Jesus, are like reminders of where they came from, and they are ashamed of their unstylish origins. JMHO
I think I agree, they can be Jews or Christians in private or in their words, but when it comes to actions, they become pc. Doesn't that say something about their 'need' to somehow belong?
