Politics has changed since the attacks of 9/11, 2001. As is becoming increasingly apparent, entire swathes of the Left have turned Right, even fascist, particularly as they have aligned themselves with Middle Eastern Islamist organization, such as Hamas and Hezbollah and their representatives in the West.....
.....In the West, neo-fascist movements of the “blood and soil” type have - like their Leftwing counterparts - sought to associate themselves with Islamist groups.

And, as much as I'm critical of Israeli policies, I'm equally critical of the corruption within the Palestian Authority and th extremism of Hamas.
