In general liberals due seem rather apathetic towards Israel. Quite a few heavier leaning left wing people blame Israel for the middle east hating us... and think if we just gave them the heave ho and let the country die the middle east would suddenly like us. |
Liberals are quite as mindlessly pro-Israel as the last Bush administration was. He seemed to be on their leash.
I don't think there are many that actually want the country gone though - can you give me proof of that?
My personal position is that Israel is there to stay but needs to make better efforts for peace. They need to dismantle the settlements in the West Bank, give the Palestinians the West Bank immediatly as a state (Gaza when it comes under control of a force not sworn to destroying Israel) and pay compensation to Palestinians instead of the right of return (which just wouldn't work for Israel).
In my opinion Netanhyu is not the right man for making peace in the Middle East, he's just making it worse.
