If the Israelis were weak and the Palestinians strong, the Left would support the Israelis.
This is something that drives me nuts about Dennis. To understand so much, so well, so thoroughly, yet to be so clueless about something like this. It isn't strength that the Left loves. It's anything that mainstream, average Americans don't like.
They hate Israel because the tribes of the backward, third-world area once referred to as "The Middle East" hate Israel, and on the hierarchy of hatred establishes why.
Give a point for each of these factors. At the end of the list, total up your two factions, and we can decide that way who gets more hatred.
White skin
Large army
Army has been used to meddle in other countries' affairs
Has won wars
English speaking
Romance language speaking
Germanic language speaking
Capitalist economy
Rich
Post-industrial
Generally known to have practiced slavery in the past (this way ONLY the United States gets a point. While all other nations have practiced slavery in the past, and some countries still do, these countries are not generally known by a majority of our last three generations to have done so, since they have only been taught about evil American slavery).
Developed its use of natural resources
Capitalist economy
Christian religion
Has practiced genocide on anyone lower on the hierarchy of hatreds
Still practices genocide on anyone lower on the hierarchy of hatreds
Grants as many liberties to its population as possible
Capitalist economy
In short, Dennis, they hate America because we're largely white, we're rich, we used to practice slavery, we have a capitalist economy, and we're so rich we can send money to other countries without enslaving them.
Any country who is not-us and not-US is so much more lovable than we are, regardless of the citizens' lack of freedom either because of political oppression or economic deprivation. Those are not just okay, they're pluses when deciding whom to hate. You has a commie dictator boss? We lo-o-o-ve your country. He murders your people with his own hands? He rapes your women himself? What a grrrrreat country yours is. Ameriki, keep your stinking hands off!
It has almost nothing to do with power. The Left hate us first because we're not-Left. I'm sure you know this. But they hate us first because we are First World, mostly-white, mostly capitalist, mostly Christian, mostly traditionalist, pretty rich, and we have a big army. After all that they throw in a lot of garbage, much of which is lies, such as calling us "imperialist" and "racist".
So why do they hate Israel? Because they're less Third-World and more First-World than the skanky countries around them that hate them, and because they're allies with the United States. That's all you need to know. And no, Dennis, seriously, getting rid of their army and "going weak" would do nothing to turn the tide of favor in Israel's direction and against the Palestinians.
