What is it about liberals that makes them anti-Israel?
The Times of Israel ^ | Aug 19, 2019 | Raymond M. Berger

While the liberal Western press covers Israeli political corruption in excruciating detail, they treat Arab political corruption as non-existent.

In the US, the left-wing of the Democrat Party is increasingly anti-Israel.

So called Democratic progressives accuse Israel of committing human rights abuses, using “excessive force,” stealing land from Arabs, and refusing to make peace. Some on the left oppose the very existence of Israel as a Jewish state.

They’re socialists, and socialists traditionally hate Jews. Liberals claim they don’t hate Jews, however, they just hate ZIONISTS. That’s a cop-out, however. They just don’t want to admit they hate Jews unless they’re good Jews and vote Democrat and don’t believe in God.

Liberals are controlled by the spirit of anti-Christ. Everything liberals love, God does not. Liberals stand for everything that chips away at and destroys the nuclear family, freedom, and God.

They are weak, intellectually and morally, and are easily manipulated, and they tend to follow the crowd.

In other words, they're stupid.

I don’t think they hate Israel but they don’t like Netanyahu or any R.

Libtards were raised without religious training and values. They substitute secularism for those. They see Israel as being synonymous with the Old Testament, steeped in its ancient history. Due to their lack of religious training, they feel ill at ease in the unfamiliar paradigm of its moral values, as they conflict with their secular ones. Thus, they have to invent reasons to attack Israel, to lessen its power to guilt-trip them. It’s racist/apartheid/writes mean tweets/invent any reason you like. Having then “lessened” Israel, they can feel more comfortable with their secular choices. Too bad they don’t know what they’re missing out on.

The Left hates democratic governments. Israel is the only nation in the middle east who routinely has elections and sometimes the new government leans to the right and sometimes leans to the left.

So it is natural for the Left to be friends with Muslim Terrorists who hate Israel.

Not all Democrats are anti-Semites (although a large number of them are) and hate Israel because it is a Jewish state.
Some Democrats hate Israel because it is a democracy, and Democrats are, at their core, totalitarians.
Some Democrats hate Israel because it is an ally of the United States, and they hate the United States.

Are you even awake, bro? Are these people for real?

What is it with all these people who are professing that they are gob smacked that liberals hate them, hate Jews, and are anti-Semitic? Have you been living under a rock since the 1960's? You ever heard of the Squad of the past five years? Wow, I continue to be astonished at how utterly dense these people are. You know, the ones who keep telling everyone that they are "experts" and they are so sophisticated.

Leftists are anti-God (the true, most-high, almighty one)... Their hatred of God is the basis for their entire agenda.

In my opinion, it's no more complicated than Israel has the power.
In the minds of the left, those with power in any conflict are the aggressors.
I once heard Juan Williams espouse this on "The Five" by stating that Israel "Has the Power" .

Might as well ask why are there some conservatives that are anti-Semites? Because bad people just like good come in every color.

Gallup has tracked this question for years. Interestingly, in 2014 Democrat support for Israel was at 60%, while support for Palestine was only 23%.

During the Trump years (because Democrats hated everything Trump did, and Trump helped Israel) support for Israel cratered, and this year — for the first time — more Democrats support Palestine (49%) than Israel (38%). Republicans, on the other hand, support Israel at 78% versus Palestine at 11%, a very consistent ratio over decades.

Gallup attributes the change to Democrats' "waning religiosity" and there might be something to that: "Sympathy for Israel historically has been highly correlated with religion."
