I think all Americans should support Israel, from the far Left to the far Right.  Israel is by far the closest thing to America in the entire Middle East.

What about the environment, a big Liberal Cause. Israel is the only country in the World to have more trees in the year 2000, than it did in the year 1900. Israel is the world's leader in recycling water, and in water conservation; no other country comes close. Israel leads the world in developing and promoting green energy, such as solar power.

If you are Pro -Environment you MUST be Pro - Israel

Omg so much hate here.

Pro-Palestine all day fucking everyday.

And I do not say that becouse I'm terrorist and hate yews or something.

But I just fucking hate your goverment that can not get enough land from the Palestinen. My views on this has nothing to do with religion or environment that some idiot wrote. Couse we need actual facts on what is happening not some book.

@donnyr254 that's nothing to do with liberalism. but yes, you are right; if you are pro-environment, you should be pro israel

[danndan6]

yeah, it's now a video

[TheChapaqua]

Nice podcast as usual. Is it possible that prog libs are now finally waking up to the jihadist threat?

@herbertwarmstrong

I did research. I was there.

[herbertwarmstrong]

@garybkatz What happens when God calls Israel spiritual "sodom and egypt" in the book of Revelation? America is a babylonnian country founded on freemasonry. Isn't it about time you did some honest research?

Left wing Jewish liberal here. I couldn't agree more with both of you guys AND the Huffpost article, although I would beg to differ that the Left doesn't bitch and moan about human rights in the countries that you've mentioned. I think they do. I think that Israel is slightly more of a lightning rod because of the closeness between our countries. MY issue is with right wing conservative Jews who label me as antisemitic if I EVER criticize Israeli policies or imperfections. That should stop.

[roarthwo]

All infidels should support Israel. That is all.

Did you read the comments to the article in the Huffington Post posted by it’s readers.

The Huffington Post cementers are consistently venomously anti Israel and anti Jewish in general.

Read the Huffington Post, register, and comment in support of Israel.

There is a very good anti Huffington Post pro Israel watch web page.
