I don't like our current government. I don't like many of the things done in the name of the United States. There are also many things done in the name of Israel that I find objectionable and irresponsible. However, the US and Israel are in different boats, so to speak, and that must be taken into consideration when discussing those issues. Think of it this way: homophobia is a bad thing, racism is a bad thing; however, the experiences that gays and African Americans have, while having certain similarities, are different and should be discussed with the parameters of the community under attack.
