For "compassionate" Liberal/Socialists, the problem is simple, "compassion", is defined, begins, and ends, with their control of the situation, the end of their own noses being it's limit. This is what being an enlightened intellecutal acutally means, "I will protect my elite lifestyle from all threats, preceived or real, from the dirty masses, even if that means that I must throw everyone else's money and lives at the threat."
Isreal is not something that is within their control, it threatens their lifestyle, so it matters little or not at all what is right or wrong to these moral equivocators, "what is safe for me?", is the only thing that registers on their radar screens. If Israel is a threat that might lead to WW3, don't ask WWJD in that situation, that is saved for when you want to attempt to guilt those you hope are ignorant enough not to actually know WJWD, just get rid of Israel if possible.
I agree. In fact, Bismarck invented the welfare state to preserve the German monarchy and the power of the Prussian aristocracy. His deal with the socialists was we will care for you from cradle to grave if you leave the property and power with us.
The welfare state was invented to preserve authoritarianism.
