and usually... don't give that much of a damn about the Palestinians outside of the Israeli context from my experience, because they're usually pretty uninformed about what's going on internally in the Palestinian society.

Oh god, this. I especially love the ones who support Hamas unconditionally -- sometimes even going so far as to give them money! -- and don't care that Hamas likes to kill dissenters, homosexuals, rape victims, apostates, blasphemers and people who play loud music at weddings. That's always charming.

Oh, yes. Hamas-supporters-because-they-oppose-the-occupation.

Hearing the way people justify that just gives you a whole view into people's ignorance and how they don't know what they're talking about. Like all the "Hamas were democratically elected and I'm completely going to ignore the 3-week-military-coup-thing" or the fact Hamas are basically trying to start Sharia law against most of the population's wishes, which is generally much more liberal.

Yeah, great supporters of the Palestinians, that lot. The occupation is bound to end, sooner or later, one way or the other, and then none of them is going to give a shit that the Palestinians would be stuck under a theocratic dictatorship. I mean, Israel most certainly isn't going to give a shit, but at least it doesn't pretend to care.

Honestly? I only think Israel is such a hip issue because a) it's not cut-and-dry, which means it's controversial and b) it involves Jews. The Palestinians have a legitimate cause, of which Israeli oppression is a large part -- but Israel's still just one issue of many. Honestly, it smacks of racist condescension to me. "The Israelis are Westerners who know right from wrong, so they should know not to be oppressive dickwads. But the Arabs are backward and uneducated -- the don't know any better!"

You never hear hardcore "pro-Palestinians" complaining about how Lebanon treats its Palestinian population, for example. And whenever I point out their hypocrisy, they accuse me of trying to deflect criticism away from Israel. As if it's impossible to criticize both Israel and Lebanon at the same time.
