Leaving aside the weird implication in this formula that people's actions should be bound by their national identity, I think the point is that Americans (and it's not just Americans) are expressing solidarity with Palestinians and trying to implement their will on the worldwide level it will take for them to gain something like freedom.

But if your point is that the actions by Americans are not logically consistent, you are right.
