Oh, that's sad. I've never noticed that. I think of myself as Progressive and I love all my Jewish friends. They might piss me off sometimes but that's what happens with people.
I try not to be "just anti-Israeli/pro-Palestinian" because they both have bad and good points to their arguments and they're both just as guilty about doing bad things to the other.
I guess I was also annoyed at his use of "all progressives" since if you find one person who it doesn't apply to, then that hypothesis is automatically wrong. Since I'm not, my mom isn't and you're not, then it's a wrong statement although I suppose between you and some others, we'd have to amend to "a lot of Progressives" which is just...ugh.
