Some Jews suffer from "Stockholm Syndrome".

I dont think the left "HATES" Israel. To hate, you have to have that emotion in your soul for your target, and quite frankly, the way the left is always trying to extinguish religion any and everywhere, their "feelings" toward Israel don't exist. It's a case of the leftists doing everything they can to become and remain as ignorant toward ANY God as they can.

They want to know NOTHING about Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion, because if they actually know anything, they could be called to account for their perversions & be judged on it all. Call it "Blissful Ignorance" of any kind of religion for peace of mind...UNTIL they stand before God on Judgement Day, then it'll be "Ignorance of God's laws (where you KNEW BETTER, deep down) is no excuse!" Of course, this is why most go around trying to play athiest & deny the existance of God.

The only other reason some might shun Israel is out of cowardice...If they stand with the bully Arabs that want Israel destroyed, maybe the bullies won't hurt them.

Seems simple to me. Israelis are the Haves, Palestinians are the Have-Nots. Libs will always support the Have-Nots.

[Porterville]

I almost agree with you; but the left wishes to know only about the religions that focus on the here and now; this way they never have to aspire for a higher existence only novelty to present themselves as being better than everyone else in the here and now. Since they are by in large too stupid to keep up with the Joneses (which is unimportant to anyone with a brain) they over compensate by dismissing all that is western to show that they could "careless" about western ideas and values. When in actual fact all they want is to be accepted by the western culture. However, their mind are sooo perverse and twisted they fear they can never return to the reality that represent the western culture, because they do not believe in the ability of man forgiveness. To much pride, gluttony, covetousness, etcetera, etcetera.

Thanks for the ping, but I still dont get "it".

Theologically, Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was a "Jew".How would the Catholics justify hatred of Jews?

Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah,how could a Christian hate a Jew?

Hindu, Buddist,Pagan peoples have no particular vested ineterest in condoning hatred of Jews, specifically, over any othe monotheist theology.

Who hates the Jews, and why?

I am not trying to bait anyone,I am trying to understand a PC blank out in history.I see nothing in the history of Judaism that could be even moderately considered as justification for anti-semitic activism.What, if anything, am I missing?

I am not interested in neo-nazi explanations.I seek the root cause of this unexplained phenomina.

[Wondervixen]

Lefties don't mess with established religions centuries old all that often...They're more likely to invent their own, where whatever they do is A-OK with "THEIR God".

God Crated Man In His Image...Hollywood Leftists Are Returning The Favor".

[Libloather]

"...why does the Left focus so exclusively on Israel?"

I've always wondered why Jewish folks mainly vote for the Libdem/Chicoms. I may never know...

[SBprone]

The may be some anti-semitic leftists but anti-semitism is not yet a defining characteristic of the left. Especially when so many leftists, at least in the US, are Jewish.

What the left really hates is anybody with the nads and the civilization to face barbarism with armed force and win.

They only hate Jewish warriors.

They still love Jewish victims.

Why Does the Left Hate Israel?

Could be because Christians support Israel. The left hates Christians more than they hate capitalism.

[freebilly]

I would like them to remember that for every Isreali killed in a terrorist act, at least four Palestinians are killed in either retaliatory measures, or just plain "housekeeping")

I'm supposed to be upset by this...?

[okie01]

If "the enemy (fundamentalist Islam) of my enemy (fundamentalist Christianity) is my friend," then it stands to reason that "the friend (God's chosen people) of my enemy (fundamentalist Christianity) is my enemy." The Left's motivations are usually absurdly easy to discern.

As facile and clever as your riposte might seem, you have correctly identified a major element in leftist thinking.

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

haha...my gosh, how did you know? were you that fly on the wall that day that i finally had said to him, "you are SUCH a loser" ? lolol!

[GunRunner]

Amen.

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

There's irony in your comments, but also a misunderstanding (imho) of the degree of 'closet' anti-semitism that most definitely is (and always has been) present in the left. Remember, their 'religion' is 'p.c.', so their contempt for the Jews is frequently discovered in a faux pas -- a slip of the tongue at the 'wrong' moment; forwarding emails of anti-Israel (i.e., 'we hate Jews') propaganda (whilst casually dismissing the atrocities committed by Palis (and Arafat)), the Episcopal bishops and clergy in Boston protesting in front of the Israeli Embassy about the 'crimes' of Israel against the Palis (you know, that awful thing that the IDF does after they find innocent Israeli toddlers shot to death while hiding under their beds after a peace-loving Pali murdered their parents in the other room)-- etc., etc., etc.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Indeed, the Moslem population as a whole is dependant on the continuous propaganda programming to ward off rational thought. While many talented and worthy people practice Islam I maintain they'd be far better off following almost any other belief system. The President should handle them like a North Korea or some other stinking ideological carcass.

Israel is an extension of American ideas

I do not find religious discrimination, curfews, land confiscation, stop searches, checkpoints, and travel restrictions particularly American. What American would stand for that if it happened stateside? As an American, I also wonder why Israel gobbles up the lion's share ($3B/yr) of foreign aid. (Actually, I object to it, all of it).

There are many Palestinian Christians. They suffer in relative stoic silence. You won't hear much, but they suffer the effects of collateral damage and the various forms of religious apartheid that Israel practices. So Christians-versus-Moslems as a reason for denigrating Palestinians is absurd, and people who support Israel in the belief that they are supporting Christian ideals in the abstract seem to me to be sadly misinformed. And yes I've been to both sides.

[LdSentinal]

As a former liberal myself, let me try to give a "simple" explanation on why liberals hate Israel.

1) Israelis are mostly Caucasians (whites) while the Arabs are non-Caucasians (non-whites). A liberal will always choose the non-white over the white group in a conflict. Even if the non-white group expresses murderous rage (as in the case with the Arabs) against the white group, liberals will always choose the non-white group.

2) Israel was formed a little over 50 years ago. In that time, Israel has become the most powerfu and well-developed l nations in the region and more powerful than most countries around the world. Meanwhile, the Arab nations that surround this country continue to live in squalor and have contributed nothing for centuries.

Here's the trigger that drives liberals with utter hatred toward a country barely the size of New Hampshire: The implication from the above paragraph is that Israelis (Caucasians) are smarter than the Arabs (non-Caucasians). Whether or not this is accurate is irrelavant, but the implication is there. Thus, the need to jutsify Israel has an "evil" country, even though it's surrounded by 200 million Arabs that wish it destroyed.

Because it's not a 3rd world nation and with it's democracy and standard of living it embarrasses the rotten 3rd world nations that surround it. Also because the Eurabia bloc in the UN is so strong and promotes Israel hated.

The left will always support 3rd worlders when they fight developed nations. It's a lowest common denominator kind of thing.

[dennisw]

I just posted the same reasons without seing your post.
