Why the Left should Support Israel

Progressives Should Support Israel -Steve Sheffey

The progressive movement has been tarred by a vocal minority that seeks to criticize Israel at every opportunity. It's time for the progressive community to stand up and show its support for Israel.

Israel is a progressive's dream:
universal education, universal health care, equal rights, minority rights protections, strong activist courts, and gays and lesbians openly serving in the military.

As progressives, we should be outraged by the way the Arabs, including the Palestinians, treat women, gays and other minorities. We should be outraged that the Palestinians demand that no Jews should be allowed to live in the West Bank, even as over one million Palestinians live within pre-1967 Israel.
