    Remember that "Boytcott Israel"-flag at Utøya you brought up a long time ago? It was made out to be 'proof' in the crazisphere that leftie organizations only care about Israel.... Except that earlier that day, they held their traditional lecture on the West-Sahara issue. A traditional lecture, held every year since the 70's. About a decade before they added a debate on Israel to the program.

    Walk into any leftie building, and you'll find plenty of posters calling for the liberation of obscure territories you've probably never heard of. You'll also find plenty of annoying people ready to pester you endlessly about why their pet conflict is a special snowflake which everyone must focus on every second of the day.


    The idea that the left only care about Israel is, quite frankly, retarded. But since you have no knowledge aside from parroting the talking points of clueless right-wing demagogues, I can see why you have the idea.
    If Frag wants to isolate Israel as a success story in the hellhole that is the middle east, he should note that it's the traditional European lefty causes, Israel's greater liberalism and greater socialism, that has brought it its success. It's the religious and racialist tendencies, both traditional tendencies of the European right, that make it distinctly different from "the west" (as we now know it) and drift it closer to the rest of the middle east. If all the liberals and socialists leave Israel, and I'd imagine they'd be welcome anywhere in the west, there would be little to distinguish Israel from the other middle eastern countries, except for a better military.
