Yeah, I occasionally come here too. Did me much good, didn't it?

This thread's headline conflated two different topics in the linked thread. The first was the new Democrat anti-Israel and increasingly anti-Jewish stance that is without historical precedent (the Democrat party was historically the default Jewish political party, there are still older Jews today who vote Democrat because the memory of being barred from country clubs and the like still pervades).

The reasons for this shift are explained at length in the book Making David into Goliath: How the World Turned Against Israel. The author sets out to prove - quite convincingly in my opinion - the reason for this change actually has little to nothing to do with Israeli or Palestinian policy, but instead has to do with a change of ethnic divisions (Palestinians are now viewed as an entirely separate ethnicity).

In the progressive mind, the group with power must obviously be maliciously oppressing the group without power. This particular conflict used to be Arabs vs. Jews, the Arabs holding the power. Several wars with Israel later, the Arab countries realized that Israel has a great defense military (Arab militaries actually just suck), so they switched their strategy: "Palestinian" became an ethnicity. Instead of Mighty Arabs vs. Little Israel, it became Mighty Israel vs. Little Palestinians.

So, what could account for this view among progressives? Perhaps it originates from a certain philosophical school?

I could very well be wrong about the connection between progressivism-post modernism-Foucault. But the disadvantage about a subbreddit such as this, is the ever-so-slight possibility that you'll make yourselves look like the idiot to outsiders instead (particularly on a touchy topic like the Israel conflict). Maybe something to think about.
