The American left, anti-Semitic or just useful idiots? Once again the American left sympathizes with terrorist backed organizations

GAZA STRIP—“This was no love boat; it was a hate boat,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said about the so-called aid flotilla that was border by Israeli Defense Forces for suspected weapons smuggling. We’d prefer this publication not get involved with the political minutiae that has plagued Israel since it became a sovereign nation in May of 1948. Islamists despise Jews, this we know, the two religions have long been conflicted and there isn’t a week that goes by that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad doesn’t call for Israel’s destruction—yet Israel has never called for the destruction of Iran.

What is curious to us is the knee-jerk reaction liberal Americans and even Europeans have to any show of force by the tiny nation state. Particularly here in the United States, protests against Israel form like clockwork every time Israel defends itself. When asked why they oppose Israel’s reaction the most common reason is a mélange of talking points that consists of Israel possessing tanks, air and sea warships, and nuclear weapons while the poor, defenseless Palestinians have only rocks and small arms. But despite their military handicap, enemies of Israel manage to detonate bombs in markets on a regular basis.

It seems the American left are more in favor of Israel being disassembled by belligerents which would translate into anti Semitism. But they do not seem to hate the Jewish people and so, an anti Semitic label can’t be conferred. So there is only one label left for the American left and that is they are useful idiots and the terrorists know it—that’s why the armed flotilla set float.
