The progressive movement that has overtaken the Democratic Party gains its moral authority in a morally relativistic world in part based on its support of the oppressed over the oppressor. As Joshua Muravchik ably argues in his Making David Into Goliath, in this construct, Israel has morphed into the oppressor, swapping roles with the Muslim countries that have wished to destroy her from the time of her founding.
The Leftist-Jihadist nexus of which Andy McCarthy writes, on display from elite college campuses to the presidents cabinet, is perhaps stronger than it has ever been. It believes in punishing the ultimate oppressor, the decadent Judeo-Christian West, by redistributing power to its enemies, including notably Islamic supremacists. The Iran deal under such a formulation is the quintessential example of global social justice.
While many bury their heads in the sand, in its efforts to delegitimize Israel the Wests first line of defense against those who wish to destroy it and strengthen its enemies, the Leftist-Jihadist nexus shows that the distinction it makes between anti-Zionism and Jew-hatred is without a difference.

Lefties want the US wiped out.
Jihadists want the US wiped out
The progs like to claim Teddy Roosevelt as their first president, but TR was nowhere near as bad as Woodrow Wilson on WW's best day nor was TR anywhere near as extreme.
Counting the days till this POS is out of office. Just hope his replacement is not worse.
Dear Jewish Friends,
Why do you people support these people?
Because most aren’t really jewish. It’s an exclusive club. Actually, most probably dislike real, faithful Jews and don’t mind the horrors happening.
A large majority of American Jews oppose Israeli government policy vis a vis the Palestinian conflict. The Democratic party aligns better with their views on Israel. It’s pretty simple really.
No amount of supporting Israel will make most American Jews vote Republican, because most of them want to support Israel less. Most, or at least a very large minority, probably even want America to support Israel even less than the mainstream of the Democratic Party does.
Yeah, Israel is embarrassing, like have grandparents from the Shettle still around.
