Currents

What’s behind the demonstrating in this country, in support of both sides in the current Middle East conflagration?

Is it pro-Israel because people believe no one deserves to be ruthlessly attacked while just going about one’s business or simply being Jewish?

Is it pro-Palestinian because people can make the distinction between innocent civilians and members of a terrorist organization, and the civilians deserve better because they’ve been living in oppressed conditions that warrant vast improvement?

Or, is it pro-Palestinian because people hate Jews, because people are ignorant and continue to pile on an old rickety bandwagon that needs to collapse under its own weight?
