These people who claim they are pro-Palestine because they "side with the underdog" are total bad faith actors. ISIS and Al Qaeda are less powerful than the US, are they going to start shilling for them? Your average serial killer is far less powerful than the police, does that mean they're going to go to bat for the "human rights" of people like Jeffrey Dahmer? I hardly think so.
If it were Jews who were occupied by Arabs, and were "resisting" that occupation via suicide bombings and knife attacks, people like Beinart would be declaring that those Jews were getting exactly what they deserved, and that the Arabs had no choice but to protect themselves from the Jewish murderers. Total nonsense.
Thank you Mohammad for your message. It made my day. It is messages like those that keep people like me -- who break with the dominant opinion -- going. I have a couple of articles that include my take on Edward Said coming. All my best.

In olden days, the victors would slaughter all the men and take the women and children as slaves.
