These Are My Choices?

Just because I favor Palestinian self-determination does that mean I have to support Hamas? This is how Jonathan Neal and other Leftists are framing it and it is classic leftist idiocy, snatching defeat from the hands of victory. Just as public opinion starts to turn in our favor, those unable to imagine nuance subvert it. Why does that have to be my choice? Mainstream liberal opinion is finally coming around to accept the fact Zionism is an illiberal system, and that opposing that oppressive system is not anti-semitic. The one state solution, unthinkable five years ago, is now being discussed in open forums. So what does the Left-left do? Supports Islamist extremists who use human shields and slaughters civilians. The question is: how does this movement for liberation become ecosocialist? YES magazine and other optimists see a great opening, a real movement, but they say the same thing about Occupy and Black Lives Matter (sometimes Standing Rock gets slotted in there). I see them all as lost opportunities and fear Palestine will be the same. I'd love to be wrong. Speaking of anti-semitism, is it ok to find some Jewish people annoying? It is a stereotype that has propelled many a comedy career, I'm thinking Sienfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Woody Allen, etc.. Now, however, even suggesting they are over-sensitive, a bit neurotic, in other words annoying, sends them crying into the arms of Trump and the unhinged Right. As Wainwright puts it: "I'm tired of America."
