re: #130 Land Shark

Unfortunately what you say is very true. I know many Jewish liberals (my wife works for a Jewish social service agency) and many are ambivalent about Israel, or believe Israel is the one that needs to make more concessions. I point out that Israel has bent over backwards to accommodate the Palestinians but it’s never enough. Leftists in general seem allergic to reality.

Lefties are idealistic. Conservatives are realistic. Idealism is fine, between wars, conflicts or dangerous moments. But when the shit hits the fan, the realists are always the ones called in to clean up the mess.
