I'm trying to see if the Jews of DU are anything like my friends and family.
Anyhow, pick one. And assume "pro-Israel" is the hawkish, "they need to defend themselves by any means necessary at the expense of Palestinians and others" view. Assume "even-handed" is just that and not code; assume "pro-Palestine" means "Palestine needs to defend themselves by any means necessary at the expense of Israel."
Yes, this is overly simplistic -- and yes, a hawkish view on Israel tends to go hand-in-hand with other views most progressives find unsavory. Just go with it. Pretend this is in a vacuum.
For the record, most of the Jewish people I know (mostly family, some friends) are either 5 or 6 (either it's one of many factors or it's way down on the list). I'm probably a 6.
