I never thought “Israel” but was thinking Arab countries?
Of course, that kinda cuts two ways since the fact that I don’t think “Middle Eastern” and “Israel” as a nature fit. It is an alien entity there. An island of civilization.
More and more I believe there is no such thing as a true contradiction. The left could care less about gay rights, women’s rights or the environment. What they do care about is power. And if the gay or environmental movement will help them get it, they’ll be happy to offer some lip service in return.
That they're willing to get in bed with the most vile cultures/regimes due to a shared and irrational hatred for Israel, and that the hatred in question trumps all other concerns.
