Basically every American politician is right-wing on Israel and supports Israel stealing land from the West Bank.

You've decided in your own mind that being pro-Israel is "conservative" because you don't like that viewpoint.  It's not conservative or liberal to be an interventionist.  Period.

The GOP being pro-big busisness goes back to at least the Guilded Age.

This doesn't surprise me at all. She's an American politician, with presumably high ambitions - supporting Israel strongly is the only logical thing for her to do (no matter here personal views, which of course may well be very pro-Israeli as well).

What does surprise me is the fact that she was a Republican as late as 1996, according to the article. Warren was near 50 at the time, so it's hardly some "youthful mistake" either. It's funny though how she uses that old tired (and generally untrue) cliché of "I didn't leave the party, the party left me" (paraphrasing her, of course). A strange choice for Hero of the True Leftists.
I don't know where you got this from... in her memoir she makes it very clear that she switched from because she did research on the causes of bankruptcies and figured out the Republican excuse of irresponsible spending sprees to be BS. Also, I think (though I'm not sure) her family was ancestrally Republican.

Also, True Leftists universally despise Warren

Wait, aren't True Leftists her fanbase?

Well, "activists" are her fanbase.  I bet if you asked TNF, SWE, or Sagestalker their opinion of her it probably won't be as glowing of an endorsement as you would figure.

If she left the GOP in 19freaking96 because she thought it was too pro-Wall Street she certainly isn't as bright as her degrees would imply.  Not saying the Dems were/are more so, but that the GOP being the Party of Big Business goes back a lot freaking further than Newt Gingrich and Ronnie Reagan, unlike what a few retards on this forum like to believe.

Warren's framing of it, at least that I heard during her campaign against Brown, was that the Republican Party didn't become more pro-Wall Street in the nineties so much as she became less so.

I'd argue there has never been a time when the GOP wasn't the party of big business.  Lincoln was certainly cosy with the railroad tycoons.
