We Demand You Care

Israel's suporters just want us to feel their pain. It's not enough to call for a ceasefire, you must acknowledge Hamas as being the cause of ALL the pain and misery. No if and's or buts. Those supporters need that to be the only valid starting point for any and all discussions. Following that acknowledgment you are then allowed to talk about the OTHER victims, though ceasefire still seems to be out of bounds. You will still be viewed as an ally or friend even if you talk about suffering on both sides. Those same liberal left supporters will tell you they also "support a peaceful solution to the conflict". They will condemn the encroaching settlements. They remain the loyal opposition to Netanyahus policies. So they're cool. They just want to establish the priorities.Go ahead and exercise your "free speech right", but if you wish to avoid the anti-semite label, just remember who to condemn first and who to mourn first. It shouldn't be that hard. Follow the rules and you'll do fine.
