In reply to the discussion: Two reasons the “I can’t be a Zionist because I’m a liberal” meme is false [View all]DanTex
(20,709 posts)It was brought up by someone else in the course of a discussion about the fact that there seem to be a lot of links to right-wing think tanks in the I/P forum. I clicked on it and it said "progressive Jewish voice" (which, I must say, is a lot more auspicious than "conservative think tank" .
Is it not actually "progressive"? The argument that was made is that Mondoweiss supports Hamas and Hamas is anti-gay therefore Mondoweiss is not progressive. Is that accurate?
The poster I was responding to was complaining about being labelled "right-wing" after voicing support for Israeli policy. There's a parallel here between whether Mondoweiss is truly "progressive" and whether people defending Israeli military aggression are truly "liberal".
