Over at Greg's place, I note the contradiction in how the term is currently used:
Any objective evaluation of what it means to be “pro-Israel” would mean applying the label to those who recognize the existential peril the country faces, both as a Jewish state and a democracy, as a result of the failure to successfully reach a two-state solution. Instead the term is used to describe those who enable Israel's most regressive political actors, those whose actions endanger its continued existence. That's deeply twisted — and tragic.
I continue to be mystified by it.
