Naturally, I'm inclined to think Nathan's numerical hunch is off the 
mark.  The "liberals who supported Kosovo intervention but remain 
undecided on Palestine" must be, I estimate, either numerically 
insignificant or politically sluggish or both.  Lacking in number and 
energy (generated by material resources and/or activist 
mobilizations), they don't register on the political radar.  To begin 
with, it's hard to say if the word Kosovo rings a bell in many 
Americans' minds.
