Just to decode that a little—you're saying it's fine to condone or abide Israel's entitlement driven, borderline genocidal tendencies because they've been on the rough end of it? That's bollocks.

The Labour Party needs overcome righteous bitterness of this kind. It's more complicated than this. It's possible, as a Jewish person, to feel some connection to Israel as a place, without condoning its every action. It's also possible to disagree with the Israeli state without implying that you think the whole concept of Israel is wrong or evil. For example, rather than talking about "genocidal tendencies" you should mention specific events by specific governments. How do you think a british person with Israeli relatives would respond to your comments here? Would they want to engage with you, or simply become more entrenched in their view that the British Left has abandoned them?

I think someone who believes that “the British Left has abandoned them” is essentially beyond sensible engagement as it is apparent they have lost any rational understanding of people’s attitudes toward the Israel/Palestine issue.
