    That’s nice. Every group has their extremists that lack a grounded perspective on achieving their goals & thus want to go too far, too fast (or who go out on their own and actually do so, which only serves to drag down the entire group in the end).

    While I agree we need to at the very least force a regime change in Israel, the reality is there’s little point in calling for “nuking” them now when there’s simply no way it’s going to happen. It would only serve to put off more people from Progressives than keeping their current stance of opposition to Israel’s actions clear, yet not actually calling them “enemies” worthy of nuking will. When Progressives actually have a prayer of accomplishing something and/or see that even the more “center” constituents have finally had enough of Israel - that’s the time to stick their neck out & risk turning off some of their “moderate” supporters on the edge.

    At least that’s my best guess as to their thinking, as I’m not even vaguely the type to be good at playing politics.
