Have you forgotten what it means to be a true liberal, a humanist? A democrat? Do you stand for justice and brotherhood, equality, and peace?
You must always act against national fanaticism and religious fanaticism!
The left was the first to stand up and fight against Italian and Spanish fascism, against German Nazism, and fascism in South America and Europe. The left is always committed to standing against organizations like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and ISIS! Nothing in these entities of brutal bigotry is even approaching justice, brotherhood, equality, and peace. The opposite: they believe in righteousness, holiness, or supremacy only on behalf of their own god/religion/people/nation.
Many human/liberal individuals and organizations worldwide are confused by superficial information and a bias to always be against Goliath Israel and to think that the Palestinian people are always David.
This, by the way, is indeed one of the damages of the occupation, which turned us from a just, young, and modest country into an occupying, arrogant, greedy country, indifferent to the suffering of others. Yes, we must end the conflict and the occupation with a lasting two-state solution.
But the Israeli left does not need to apologize or be confused about its determination to strive for reconciliation between the nations and peace.
Peace of the brave! A true peace that, along with painful compromises, will never give up on protecting eternal humanistic values.
For that reason, we must always fight nationalist and religious fanatics and terrorist acts against an innocent population, regardless of what nation, origin, or ethnic affiliation they are coming from.
It is not a shame to be both leftist and Zionist. On the contrary, precisely in the shadow of the disaster that we live in right now, it is more important than ever!
And it is a terrible shame to be a leftist in any country while you support Hamas.
It's an ethical and moral disgrace. The left has never supported slaughtering innocent women, children, and older people. The will for independence of any nation does not justify such atrocious acts.
You cannot be a Democrat, a Liberal, a Humanist, or a Leftist and support religious fanatics of any religion who believe in the death of non-believers.
