Title:Why the left has marginalized itself

Ever see the left wing organizing to support their fellow citizens in Sderot?
Nope.
Instead, we see the left wing rallying to support the enemy who have been raining missiles on Sderot just about every day for the past couple of years.

This is why the left has so marginalized itself in the eyes of Isralei voters. They have almost no power base remaining at all. If elections were held today, Meretz would be lucky to save 3 seats in the Knesset.

The leftists would do themselves a favor by reading the Amnesty International report, and then holding a protest to support human rights - Israeli human rights.

"The attacks against civilians by Palestinian armed groups are widespread, systematic and in pursuit of an explicit policy to attack civilians. They therefore constitute
crimes against humanity under international law. They may also constitute war crimes"
