from a related thread:

[the left are] "opposed to Israels style of politics and nationalism"

I think it's more basic than that. We too often ascribe to the left rational academic beliefs, but I think far more often it's a tribal belief system. There is the understanding that somewhere someone has the rationale pea under some cup, but what really matters is that if they don't toe the line, they will be ostracised by their peer group, like a child in the playground.

That must be why it's called "socialism". The only thing social about it is that the social structure is the belief normalizer.

It seems that “All the nations have gathered against Jerusalem”. Hmmm, it seems I have heard that somewhere before.

We (Israelis) are expected to march into the sea,,,well guess what?

We won’t...and there will be no more Arab capitals..or oil,
