Amy Fried, a retired professor of Political Science at the University of Maine and Op-Ed contributor to the Bangor Daily News. She has written 3 Pro-Israel articles for the BDN, most recently an article stating "While some large marches have expressed support of Israel, I’ve seen more reports of small and big protests opposing Israel. Chanting 'from the river to the sea,' protestors proclaim Palestinians should control all the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This would mean that little Israel, the only majority Jewish nation in the world, in which half of the world’s Jews live, should no longer exist....The message that Israel should be wiped off the map expresses a fantasy and is not a realistic possibility. The nearly 10 million Israelis are not going to pack up and leave. Also Israelis living in a combined state with Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank is not a viable plan...". She further states that "Meanwhile the anti-Israel left, which says it stands with Palestinians, marginalizes itself and undermines prospects for peace and justice by calling for the dismantling of Israel, using offensive and hyperbolic rhetoric and images, and defending or refusing to call out Hamas."
