    It's fueled by them thinking they're better because they live in God-fearing, freedom-loving "real America," not those phony big cities full of liberals, socialists and minorities.

    Spend some time with a Liberty or OBU graduate or Tom Cotton, the education thing is firmly in play with them.

    Much criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. But much criticism is also people who look at the Palestinians’ and see a people oppressed by Israel. They would be wrong about the oppression. The Palestinians were pawns in the Arab wars against Israel from 1948 onwards. When the wars failed and Israel and the Jews living there weren’t driven into the sea, as was the stated goal in 48, 67, 73 and today by Iran the Arab world abandoned the Palestinians who are now a terrorist community. The PLO and then Hamas are a military terrorist organization with constant and consistent incursions into Israel and murdering Israelis. The anti-Israel movement ignores this and focuses on the plight on the people who are captive to an ideology that has achieved nothing but death, destruction and asted lives. PLO begat Hamas which Begat Taliban which begat Al Queda which Begat ISIS The poor Palestinians are dupes and victims. They have only their friends to blame.
    Given world wide anti-Semitism for 2500 years, Israel is inseparable from a Jewish homeland. At its heart, anti-Israeli sentiment is anti-Semitic because to deny Israel an existence is to deny Jews a home.

    Ask why Egypt hasn’t reclaimed Gaza, which was not part of pre-1948 Palestine but Egyptian unti 1967 and why Jordan hasn’t attempt to reclaim any of the West Bank which was not part of pre-1948 Palestine but was Jordan until 1967.Most of the disputed land Now ‘occupied’ has been occupied as a result of Arab war and attempted invasions of Israel.

    What's the point? Progressive activist who works for middling sized far left think tank has chip on shoulder. Are you are arguing that there is not an inverse version of him on the right?

    Unfortunately, with Iran taking over the Lebanese side of that border...things are about to get even more tense

    Yeah. The series would have been better served starting with literally anyone else Fielden specifies in his note.

    ". . . a series on growing up now—white, black, LGBTQ, female—that will continue to appear in coming issues."

    Will we get an Iran-Syrian/Russian-ISIS war?

    More people stop to watch a car accident than a Boy Scout walking an old lady across the street.
