Don't think Israel has been abandoned by the left, more likely that progressives have had enough of crazy zionists like Bibi.
What??? There is no CNN article about the 9 Palestinians killed by Israel in the last two weeks?
They call it
collateral damage when Palestinians are killed and
terrorism when the Israelis are attacked. No double standands, honest!
Maybe it's just that, in the Israeli's case, killing civilians is accidental (and Hamas has been known to use their own civilian population as hostages in an attempt to look good to the media when civilians inevitably get killed), but when Palestinians kill Israeli civilians, it's usually quite cold-blooded and deliberate.
