It is depressing how lockstep both parties are on virtually unconditional support for the Israelis over an even handed approach. Its especially depressing to me that my party is more and more entrenching itself with a state so willing to push the limits of acceptable behavior towards outsiders and which constantly embroils us in unnecessary, unpopular Middle Eastern adventures. It would be nice if there was some kind of neutral organization which could inform the American public of what the conflict is really like, because we all know that current public support for Israel is mostly based on the Holocaust and our recent fights with Muslims. The only thing that really makes me positive about the whole thing is that literally the only way for congress to move is in a pro-Palestinian direction, at least to match the 20% or so of the public who prefer the Palestinians. And its unlikely that the public can move much more pro-Israeli, just because their abuses against the Palestinians far outnumber those Palestinians inflict upon Israel, all of which must seep into the news eventually.
