At the recent wedding I attended, I accidentally sat on the Right end of the table, and spent the reception trying not to burst. My seat-mates discussed such classics as:
"Undocumented workers: are they human and/or deserving of human rights?"
I took a seminar with Ben Schiff about the Israel-Palestine conflict - if he offers another class on the subject before you graduate, you should consider taking it. Or just go to his office hours and chat with him.
I also find knee-jerk supporters of the Israeli government/military frustrating, but emotions run so high on the subject (and also I am not Jewish, and don't have the perspective of having a connection to the place, dealing with anti-Semitism, etc.) that it's sort of tricky to speak up.
