And there's simply no way people who support Palestinians can continue to intentionally ignore/deny/explain away what's going on in Gaza under Hamas, in Lebanon (apartheid), or right now at the Syria/Jordan border (where only Palestinians are being turned away by Jordan).

Whenever it's brought up by your opponents, you accuse them of whataboutery (look over there). But the problem isn't us, it's Palestine's alleged supporters who say they are pro-Palestinian when they're not. We're not the ones selling ourselves as awesome Palestinian supporters.

Show us you care just as much about Palestinians in the above situations (where Israel cannot be blamed) and that would be convincing. As it is, there's no question it's all about bashing Israel.

If it wasn't about bashing Israel, then pigs like Gilad Atzmon wouldn't still be popular with groups like the ISM, FGM, or GM4J. Some of the most vile (infamous) anti-Semites around the globe were stinking up the GM4J just days ago. Not a peep from the "anti-racist" crowd.

It's about bashing Israel.

It's not about supporting Palestinians.
