If you are on the Left, you do not attribute significance to ethnic differences and you do not support ethnic states. Leftism and a Jewish state are opposites. <\/p>\n
The Right by contrast stands for hierarchy and tradition. The Right in gentile countries has usually been anti-Jewish because the Right has supported traditional institutions such as the Church, the Military, and traditional pecking orders where outsiders such as Jews are at best second-class citizens. Jews tend to fear gentile nationalisms while embracing Jewish nationalism. <\/p>\n
Chaim Amalek writes: “It simply is not ethically tenable for any diversity-embracing human being to support the continued existence of a Jewish ethno-state anywhere, but especially not one carved out of lands formerly owned by People of Color who are Muslim.”<\/p>\n
Jewish Journal<\/a>: Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein suggested she would end all military aid to Israel if elected president in the fall.

\nIn an interview with Newsweek published Friday, Stein said that while as an American Jews she has a relationship with Israel, her working relationship with the government of Israel would be “ethical.”
\nAs part of that \u201cethical\u201d relationship, Stein said, she would end military aid to Israel since it would be \u201cdecisively against our common values, to support apartheid, to support home demolitions, to support occupation, to support violations of international law.\u201d
\nStein also blasted Sheldon Adelson, claiming that he “contributes a huge amount of money to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu\u201d to mess with Israeli politics. \u201cIf I was living in Israel, and I knew that one of the major funders of a very oppressive right-wing government was coming from outside of my country, I would be up in arms about it,\u201d she told the weekly magazine.
\nHoping to pick up the mantle of Bernie Sanders\u2019s leftist revolution in the Democratic Party, Stein said she would go to Israel \u201cwith all humility” because “nobody has been a bigger violator of these rights and values than our own country.\u201d
\nSanders, during the Democratic primary, criticized Israel for using \u2018disproportionate\u201d force against Hamas in the 2014 war in Gaza. \u201cI do believe that Israel was subjected to terrorist attacks, and has every right in the world to destroy terrorism. But we had in the Gaza area, some 10,000 civilians who were wounded and some 1,500 who were killed,\u201d he said during a televised debate in April. \u201cNow, if you\u2019re asking not just me, but countries all over the world was that a disproportionate attack, the answer is that I believe it was.\u201d
\nIn an interview with Haaretz during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last month, the Green Party candidate dodged questions about her views on the two-state solution. Instead, she said it\u2019s up to the people of Israel and the Palestinians to decide on bringing an end to the conflict. \u201cThe good people of Israel and Palestine are getting together, in grassroots groups, for human rights, and we should support them in their attempt to get past this horrible gridlock that the United States has enabled,\u201d she was quoted as saying. \u201cThis is upon the people of Israel and Palestine, on the basis of human rights, to continue building confidence and find the way out of this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
