Daniel Larison has a really important post discussing jihadism, anti-jihadism, and Palestine that is must-reading and really explains a lot about how people with sincere anti-jihadist sentiments are usually reflexively pro-Israeli. As someone myself who is critical of Israel but very much anti-hirabist, this is a very helpful analysis in understanding people who by all rights should be my allies but instead end up in oopposition to over a conflict that really has very little to do with our national security.
