I'm not sure if I understand where you are coming from. The conclusion you draw (= "voices of Palestinian victims of Zionism either do not matter or matter less than voices of Jews") doesn't follow at all from a suggestion that we should highlight political divisions among Jews, so as not to create a false and politically counter-productive impression that all Jews are united in support of the Israeli government policy toward Palestinians. It's not as if you can't hear from Jewish and Palestinian critics of Israel at the same time. -- Yoshie
