Leftists are leftists are leftists. They all live in fantasy land and no amount of reality will alter that. Israeli Jew or American college professor; makes no difference in the grand scheme, they’re not going to wake up to reality, because the reality they live in isn’t the real world.
They can be fun to talk to, when they’re not frothing at the mouth crazies, but you’ll never get anywhere with them. Heavens knows I like a good intellectual discussion, but I’ve never kidded myself about changing minds. For all the talk about curiosity, they’re no more curious than a hybernating bear, and only true curiosity can bring about true change in one’s worldview.
