On Foreign Policy: Pro-Palestinians are accused of being anti-Semitic or naive

If you are fundamentally identified with the Palestinian cause, not in a way of putting Jews down but in a way of hating occupations, in a way of loathing domination there is a certain kind of consensus that it's a taboo issue, and somehow to raise the issue means you're either anti-Semitic or don't understand the complexities of the Middle East, or all the different rationalizations that lose sight of the humanity of Palestinian brothers and sisters.
