On Israel, Progressive Jews Feel Abandoned by Their Left-Wing Allies

This article hits the nail on the head, though it only talks about emotions.

Here are some things that aren't mentioned:

  • Do Progressives see Palestine as a safe haven for the LGBTQ community? (They're not)
  • Do Progressives see Palestine as a place where women are treated equally? (They're not)
  • Do Progressives understand that Israel gave Palestinians a right to self-determination? (It's true, and it was 2005, then they elected Hamas in 2007)
  • Do Progressives realize that genocide means an attempt to wipe out an ethnic group? (The number of Palestinians has tripled since 1948)
And they conveniently don't even consider:
  • Hamas's mission is to eliminate Jews
  • "From the River to the Sea" is the space occupied by Israel, Palestinians want the whole thing for themselves.
  • The only reason a two-state solution doesn't exist today is because every time it's been offered, the Palestinians have said, "No!" (see previous bullet point)
  • Any of the history prior to 1948, or 1967, or 2005
