I agree that discussions should not be framed as "pro-Israel" or "anti-Israel". That formulation bothers you, as it does me. Unfortunately it's realistic, because unlike China, Russia, etc, your friends on the left are actually calling for Israel to be eliminated, I don't hear anyone saying anything similar about any other country, because if someone said some crazy ass shit like that most people would ridicule them, but when it's Israel its apparently OK with people like you to say Israel is a mistake.

Tell me I'm wrong.

You can't, because Israel is the only country on earth where people question it's very existence.
