It won't in the foreseeable future.

The question is when pro-Palestinians will be a bigger part of the Democratic base then Jews are. I expect a vocal pro-Palestine block to develop within the Democratic caucus in the next 10-20 years.

I really doubt that; you'll notice, the trend over the past few years has been for more public approval of Israel's actions, not less (in 2000 pro-Israelis were at about ~60%, now they're ~70%; pro-Palestinians have remained about the same at ~20%). If anything, the logical trend is that pro-Israeli groups become stronger, not the reverse.

Israel is a great country, I don't want it to ever become an issue.

I'll echo this, but I'll add the qualifier 'unless it becomes radically different than it is now.'

A great country doing some very evil things.

Like...?


I've read enough of your posts to know in your head I fit into the second category Smiley

Could you be more specific? It's a rather long article.

Israel would totally have allowed them to go to Gaza if they had agreed to be inspected at Ashdod. You don't think it was rather suspicious they refused to be inspected?
