Appeasement is the policy we've adopted towards trying to keep Israel and the Islamic countries from fighting. Do you remember the shitstorm at the DNC when they forgot to put "and Jeruselem shall be the capital of Israel" on the platform? What is that if not appeasement?


I think that is a perfect example of what jat850 is saying. It was pandering not appeasement, which backfired quite a lot with the booing.


Pandering is the usual "Israel is one of our greatest allies" lip service. Changing the DNC platform is something, impliedly promising to use the power of the US to protect Israel's interests goes beyond that.
