Question

Why do ultraliberals care about the Palestinians but not the Iraqis?

Answer 1

Because ultra liberals tend to "hate" the US. And since the Palestinians are fighting with the US's closest ally, Israel, it gives them an excuse to cheer for them.

Just look how many anti war, anti American far lefties in the US dress up as palestinian terrorists and carry hateful anti American/Israel signs in their pathetic little protests.

Answer 2

Why do right wingers like false choice arguments so much?

Is it a product of their lack or intelligence or their susceptibility to brainwashing?

Answer 3

Lets be serious. Isn't it a good idea for everyone, on both sides of the aisle, to focus on America first?

Answer 4

That is a great question.

The answer... they play politics with every single issue.

Answer 5

I'd say liberals care about humanity in general. Besides liberals have spoken out often about all of the innocent Iraqis that are now dead because of the "shock and awe" bombings and invasion. I have a problem when those on the right use moral relativism to justify military aggression. I hate it when words such as "collateral damage" are used as a way of dehumanizing the loss of innocent life.

Answer 6

We don't really care about the Palestinians either......

Answer 7

I care for neither.  I'm not an ultraliberal though.

Answer 8

Good question! I'm also quite perplexed how Jewish voters can consider themselves to be liberal when the liberals care more for the Palestinians than Israel.

Answer 9

I don't know where you get your information, but I want to know what "ultraconservative" cares about anything outside of the US borders.
