Especially when the "right-wing" is on the side of moral clarity. Believe me, as a lifelong liberal and as one who believes wholeheartedly in the dream and necessity of Israel, this gives me great pain. Were I in the position to give advice to the liberal world, it would be that it needs to reassess its morality, cause it ain't on the correct side in this issue. All you need to do to see this is to unflinchingly look at what happened and what is happening in Gaza to see that it has been and is a fascist and anti-humanity culture and political structure.

Call me a pragmatist if you'd like.

To quote Golda Meir: If Palestine put down their weapons, there would be peace. If Israel put down their weapons, there would be no Israel.

Perhaps you are on the side of the destruction of Israel because it currently has a right-wing government? God help us if that happens.
