RE: Is there a Left/Right schism on Israel?
It might help to define exactly what you meant by "Right" and "Left". I haven't kept up with the intricacies of the Modern Left, but in 2012 United States, both small government, great personal freedom advocating free market capitalists and hardcore Christian fundamentalists that think the Constitution is an appropriate place to legislate things like marriage and abortion while spending profligately to pursue wars against Muslims would consider themselves members of the "Right". So would everyone in between. Ron Paul thinks we should end most foreign aid and that Israel should be held to the same human rights standards we hold other nations to. Rick Santorum thinks we should wage war on behalf of Israel against Iran, even if we don't have a compelling national interest. Both would be considered members of the Right.
