Look, Naji. Except for Brad D and perhaps a few lurkers, this entire list is with you in your solidarity with the Palestinians and opposition to Israel.
Moreover, the number of Friends of Palestine who are _also_ activists is almost certainly growing over the last month.
That growth is on the basis of facts which are knowable to anyone who desires to look. They have been beautifully summarized by Joanna in a post which by itself would make a strong leaflet for a rally.
Why do you want to detract attention from the crimes of Israel and the agony of the Palestinians by harping on one tiny thesis on the political structure of the most powerful and most destructive empire the world has ever known?
Why do so need to throw sand in the gears of that support activity for Palestine by harping on this one narrow and undecidable point? What you are doing is reducing by one the number of voices for Palestine -- your own. You are in effect silencing your self.
Join the Palestinian Solidarity Movement which is in process of formation, and get rid of this obsession.
