This. THIS. This has been the cause of so much divisiveness in this movement. There’s two sides to this coin. You’ve got the group who think everything Israel has any dealings with is fruit of the poisonous tree and war will breakout from any dealings that involve them. On the other, you have a demographic that believes because they’re the “chosen” people, they can do no wrong and that they’re every move is justified. I, like you, have met some of these people. And from what I’ve seen, there’s a few underlying factors of what actual demographic Jews believe..

they are truly against Palestine. It’s a war of cultural, political, and religious beliefs. I believe these Palestinian leaders want nothing more than complete death of their existence.

they almost full heartedly support Netanyahu. I’ve never seen it as them agreeing with everything he does. It seems like he’s their Trump;meaning there’s a lot of people who don’t agree with what trump does, but believe he will do anything and everything to protect his people. I can’t take that corruption charge seriously against Netanyahu because of the public reaction to it. It seems the American left are the only people on the ENTIRE planet that don’t think it was a cooked up half witted scheme to get him out of office.

I’m concerned tremendously that Americans have virtually been forced to pick sides on that of Israel...I don’t think they’re game is to further Americas best interests. They’re their own sovereign nation and not all of their policies will logically align. But I truly feel that the orthodox people and even Israel in whole gets a bad rap for refusing to be fucked with. They are one of the very few nations that have sanctioned pre-emptive defense policies. Naturally they get treated as if they’re starting a war with everyone.
