The left is equally as fanatic in its support of Israel as the right is. The stupidity of our congressmen and women transcends party lines.

That's... that's not even remotely true. It could be I'm massively misinformed about the American left, but at the very least the Australian left has made its quite anti-Israel position clear.
By the way, I'm talking about "the left" as in the beliefs held by the people on the left, not the politicians who happen to wear blue ties. But like I said, it would take a whole lot of pretty convincing evidence to get anywhere with the claim "the left is equally as fanatic in its support of Israel as the right is".
I meant to refer to Congress and other high-level politicians with rare exceptions.
What makes you guys think that "the left" in America means "Democrats", let alone "Democratic members of the US Congress"?
Right.
I mean, exactly.
Well I said the left, not Democrats, but when I said the left I was referring to Democrat high level politicians and members of congress. I guess nobody likes to count the progressives/lbgt activists/anti-war crowd. They, for the most part, usually have pretty good ideas about how to pacify the holy land.
Right, and what I was saying is, those people probably shouldn't be referred to as "the left". Because.... that's not really what "the left" means. So calling those people "the left" is a recipe for confusion. Hence gwahir's response, for instance. Since you said "the left", he (and others) assumed you meant the actual political left wing in America, not high-ranking Democrats.
