Looking for respectful input on just this question: In the current climate, what should someone who is BOTH pro-Israel's Right to Exist AND pro-Palestinian Rights (ie, looking for the Two-State Solution, finally) supposed to call ourselves? "Pro-Palestinian" is being used to mean Anti-Israel in popular shorthand, so is that out, now, even for those of us to whom it does not apply?
I support peace and people's right to have a safe place to live their lives.
War will destroy us all.
It makes us human... a far cry from those who use hate to survive.
I've opted to just stay out of it. Like you I favor a 2 state solution but until Palestinians accept that it won't happen. Officially I think they still oppose Israel's existence.
Sigh, so it continues.
@CLManussier Anti-apartheid? Anti-human-rights-abuses? They don't roll off the tongue. Israeli-Palestinian Rights?
