I'm serious. What does Pro-Israel mean in this context? Most of the western world is Pro-Israel as in pro Israel's existence. An Anti-Israel speaker would be extremely controversial.

Look at what happened when Ahmadinejad came to Columbia University.



I guess in this context, as referenced in the parent article, anyone who isn't anti-normalization/ doesn't support BDS.

Guess it's a point of view thing. They say "lift the evil Gaza blockade," Israelis/Many Jews hear, "We don't give a flying fuck if you and your families get killed by terrorists."


Also Obama was considered "anti-Israel" because well, I guess he said something that wasn't pro-Israel enough:

It is sort of ridiculous what some segments will call anti-Israel.
