1. They hate religion.
2. They always root for the weaker group in a spat, even if the weak group is evil.
3. They hate the US, and Israel is our ally, therfore they hate Israel.
4. They hate the west, and want to see Islam grow stronger.
5. They hate white people, and want to see brown people go stronger.
I left out a few.
It’s simple. The left hates everyone.
Indeed curious, considering who created the Left.
Because God chose Israel.
Yup, just as our own universities are filled with leftist professors who detest America and the principles upon which it was founded.
Leftism and Islamism: Temporary allies, enemies of Western civilization (Israel and the U.S. in particular), and two of the world's most dangerous illnesses.
i love the correspondence of American Thinker
Thanks for posting this. The article illustrates that there are Jews who are mostly leftist, and not mostly Jewish in those values that guide their life.
the state of Israel to some extent is a conservative expression of Judaism, even though a fair proportion of “zionists” were secular Jews.
It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.
We are a reminder to them that there is a God. One they don't know.
I quit reading when I saw the author doesn’t know his right from his left, politically speaking.
I think the number one reason is that they are jealous!
This is just the latest manifestation of the Left’s hatred for Jews. You can get a good whiff of this from some of the writings of radicals at the time of the European revolutions of 1848. They associate Jews with capitalism, materialism, money-making, greed, exploitation - all the time-worn stereotypes.
If you are familiar with Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle, you can see the attitude of the Left towards Jews personified in the evil dwarf Alberich, who gives up love in return for power and money and exploitation of others.
Beyond just plain antisemitism (a major factor) this is the key IMHO.
Leftists have a world views that differs from that of the colonial past far less than they want to believe. They think they are better than the Arabs. They are incapable of judging non-western, non-white people by the same standards they apply to themselves.
Isreal is Western and therefore is held to a standard that no real group of people could meet. The Arabs are held to a standard so low that no act of barbarism earns reproof. This is a very chauvinistic and racist viewpoint: Being a super villain is almost as good as being superman.
This sort of thinking helps to keep the fantasy of white power and inherent superiority alive in an increasingly hostile post colonial world.

“we can’t judge what we don’t know, and more importantly can never know.”
if that’s true, and i don’t believe it, then conversely the oriental world cannot judge us.
why do i have to give up my plato, aristotle, shakespeare, chopin, joyce ... ad infinitum
for the disgusting moslem world of hate?
read history. their religion is based on hatred of others.
Regarding relativism, throw in the fact that the left pathologically attacks anything to do with western Christian religions so of course they created the notion that there is no absolute (ie God given) truth. Of course the poor dumb muzzies get a pass and can practice their insanity on civilized peoples, anything that promotes their socialist world order.
I’ve a simple answer. The god of this world is trying to destroy everything that is part of Our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. These groups are all a pawn of the devil. Their hatred comes from the depth of hell. As hard as it can be...praying for these hateful people is actually what we’re suppose to do. Boy, that can be a real yuk yuk yuk...
My #1 reason has always been that Israel defends itself and arrogantly asserts its own right to exist as a Jewish state.
That kind of non-self hating arrogance cannot be tolerated by the Left. There is only one God and that God is self-loathing, full of guilt and is constantly trying to assuage that guilt by punishing innocents.
Or, something very close to this.
The political left’s worldview is dominated by evaluating people, groups, and situations by who has power and who is weak.
They are inexorably drawn to back the weak, because they feel things like success and failure are flukes based on luck, not so much logical & predictable outcomes from making better or worse decisions.
The left sees the word in terms of power imbalances. Like in abortion - they don’t perceive the infant as the weak party, they perceive the woman as the weak party as opposed by men who have power.
Conservatives, on balance, tend to evaluate right and wrong. If the strong party is right, that’s fine. If the weak party is right, that’s fine.
This worldview drives progressives up the wall whenever their preferred weak groups go against each other.
The Left hates Israel?
Would this be cradle-to-the grave healthcare, high tax, socialist Isreal?
Is the Right suppose to like that?
