As a liberal secular humanist Jew I find it frustrating to be so isolated as a staunch supporter of Israel. Am I the only one?

All of the so-called supporters of Israel that are not religious seem to hold a higher standard for Israel than its enemies; these same groups are fully understanding of the Palestinian's plight ignoring the suffering of the citizens of the State of Israel.
One could go on and on, but in a nutshell the above is it.
