4. It's Jewphobia, basically a flaw of the far right

Israel is the most liberal, most progressive country in the ME, so there's really no excuse for the left to be Jewphobic. It shows immaturity and pseudo-intellectual posing for the most part. I think they'll grow out of it.

The far right, including Christian and Islamic nationalist cretins are just infected with Jewphobia as a kind of mental rabies. They may grow out of it too, but it's basically waiting for inoculation of sanity into their system. Could be a long wait.
