Isn't the existence of israel essentially part of a several thousand year old biblical agenda? How odd you'd select such a cause, being an athiest from illinois.
I can't speak for anyone else on the left(not that anyone can speak for the left as a whole), but i don't want to argue with you because you've vastly and smugly oversimplified the issue and can't seem to be bothered with any sort of nuance. You can't seem to understand that your initial focus is an irrelevant one. So what if some palestinians have what amounts to a p.r. machine? That doesn't automatically prove that they don't have legitimate gripes with israel. America is one of the best liars in the world, as someone who was alive during the run up to the invasion of iraq i'm sure you're well aware of this. That doesn't mean that our justifications for doing the things we do are automatically invalid, even though much of the time they are for other reasons.
