...of the "Team Israel" posters really are Democrats and during this whole thing there's a burning sensation in their head anytime they try to reckon the actions of the current, conservative, Israeli government with their long-held beliefs as Democrats.

  I guarantee you- it's not like they're looking at this thread and not responding. They're not looking at this thread, they likely have it on ignore- the more they look at this the more the disparity between their unconditional support for a conservative government and their belief system as Democrats grows.

  From messages I've read, they are very distressed by the actions of the government as you'd expect they should. However, in my opinion many of them genuinely believe that if they criticize Israel they could be weakening Israel as a concept, the nation itself, instead of just the current government.

  It really sucks to be them, too, because in 20 years with all the babies the Settlers are having are grown up and they're chasing down and beating leftist Jews in the streets of Tel-Aviv they're going to realize the bitter fruit they helped plant the seeds of.
