121. Nobody's trying to split the party
BTW, the "split the party" argument was also used to make the case for not doing anything meaningful about Civil Rights. Would you have said "don't split the party" then?

The way to avoid having it be a party splitter is for those on the "pro-Israeli"(actually, pro-Israeli government infallibility, as many who disagree with them are also pro-Israel in the sense of wanting the country to go on existing)to stop demonizing those who disagree, and to actually debate rather than use verbal acuity to silence the discussion.

It's not asking too much to expect those people to accept that those who disagree with them are not evil and do not do so with diabolical intent.
