    I’m aware plenty of people condemn Israel for good reason, but what I don’t hear is the snide “you’ll never get anyone on your side like that”. It’s a sentiment that black people have been hearing since the 60’s, and is more commonly leveled against “underdogs” that are fighting an establishment.

      You just said people don’t express similar sentiments when the Israeli police and military slaughter innocent people.

      Palestinians are trying to play on the sympathies of the international community to garner aid and support for their cause. Israel is not.
