cooltigger21 0 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) It isn't just UCLA. It's a common theme across many college campuses. It's the prevailing attitude of the left and, sadly, many on the right as well. For some reason it's the fault of Israel that Iran, Hezbollah and all the rest want to wipe them off the face of the earth. Anti Semitism is running high across Europe as well.

Weegle777 63 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Exactly as the bible says. I love how prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,113 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm done trying to figure out the Left's motivation for being so blindly anti Israel. My only guess that makes sense is that if the Right " conservative Christians " are for it, then the Left are 180 degrees against it. No matter what.

Weegle777 63 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I know right. I've never understood why Israel is so hated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanthearyou 3,345 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Personally, I find these sort of threads inane and insane. Can you really define people or, groups of people, this way? Maybe I am missing something but, is it really that black and white? Muslims bad, Israelis good. Liberals bad, conservatives good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world isn't as grey and nuanced as people want to make it out to be. It just makes them look and feel superior to pretend they are much smarter than the simpletons that believe otherwise. I'm no genius itchy. If I can figure this out anyone can, if they will just open their eyes. Edited March 13, 2015 by cooltigger21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW 86 6,398 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 In talking with many folks over the years about his very issue, I have come to realize that there are some that are so upset about the manner in which Israel came into being that they feel that no matter what, Israel is illegitimate and therefore is in the wrong on almost every issue, even in defending itself. At the risk of sounding like Hillary Clinton, at this point, what matter does it make? We cannot undo 66 years of history.What would we do with the Israelis even if we could? The real answer here is that we need to find peace, and you cannot find peace with people that are sworn to exterminate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, it is too easy to judge by the best, or worst, of the actions of a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
