Bizarrely, research shows that those who hate Jews are more likely to support Israel, for various reasons.
I'd never have had JohnD down as a supporter of Israel.

is this another of your reading one sentence in a report and ignoring the rest of it?
You see those on this forum.Out and out far right racists. They tend to hate Muslims even more than they hate Jews. So, they support Israel.

So the word "research" is doing a lot of heavy lifting?Don't be silly!
I never do that.
It is roughly three groups:
Out and out far right racists. They tend to hate Muslims even more than they hate Jews. So, they support Israel. Although, some bemoan the fact that they are giving the Jews a free pass at the moment.
Far right anti-Semites. They support Israel and want it to succeed, because they want all the Jews in their own country to move there.
And then some Christian Evangelicals hate Jews, because of what they believe the Jews did to Jesus. But because of the Book of Revelations, they want all the Jews to gather in the Holy Land. And that is why they support Israel.
So when you drill down, things can get very confusing, because there are so many different motivations.

I've never heard of such a mass walkout before now. Shows the depth of feeling around the world. They can't all be wrong.

Trump announced a likely peace deal shortly after that speech, been a lot going on behind closed doors the last few days.

If he is serious, it is a big step forward.
But many think it is just another smokescreen.
