I’m a former Democrat, Herschel, but not likely a nascent Republican. However, I the residual Democrat in me is painfully aware that a more Republican congress is almost ipso facto a more pro-Israel congress.

I was never much of a leftist,not that I’ve called myself one at all for years, and this stems in part from the fact that by the time I got out of high school in 1966 I had already figured out that the Viet Cong were not an Asian version of the ACLU. And in 1967 it struck me that the left should be celebrating Israel’s victory but wasn’t.

For that matter, by every standard assertion of leftist values, the left should be wildly pro-Israel and instead is wildly anti-Israel, and it’s fair to ask why.

And Herschel, I’d be pro-Israel even if the Israelis were Vietnamese.

Unfortunately painfully slowly. And what about those leftwing, postzionist nuts in Israel?

My journey from moderate Democrat to moderate Republican has a similar starting point. If the neo-dems could be so wrong and flagrantly hateful about Israel, a subject I consider myself knowledgeable about, then what other so called â€œtruthsâ€ that they believe in also need to be questioned? To me attitude towards Israel is THE litmus test, and I will not support any person, media, or, organization that espouses a hypocritical one sided, anti-Israel bias. The good news is that slowly, more and more Jews are starting to feel this same way about the neo-dems!
