One of the things the campus left misses in their haste to condemn Israel for its war against Hamas is that Israel is a critical ally in the global struggle that is the subject of today's important post from The Bulwark. The reaction to the campus left is sometimes to characterize them as "pro-Hamas," which they might be in effect if not in intent., but, more critically, in their dogged antagonism against Israel, they are making themselves pro-Hezbollah, pro-Iran, pro-Russia, pro-China and, now, pro-North Korea. The West and its allies (which include Israel and other, even more dubious, democracies like Hungary and Turkey) have many faults but do even the most ardent anti-Zionists really want to see Palestinian "victory" through a Russo-Chinese-Iranian domination of the middle East?

Excellent point about the campus Left and their very narrow view. They want easily identified heroes and villains. I hope they grow up.
