WHILST many people on the Right refuse to side with the Palestinians due to their Arab ethnicity and/or religious beliefs, the Left has no such qualms and has been actively working among the Palestinians for many decades. The latter are pursuing their own ideological objectives, naturally, but far beyond all the complexities and intricacies of this conflict – not to mention race, religion and ideology – there lies a more crucial and fundamental reason to support the Palestinian struggle against Israeli colonialism and U.S. imperialism. In fact this cause does not ‘belong’ to the Palestinians at all, it is a universal principle by which the standards of national freedom and social justice must be maintained at all costs. Whoever you are and whatever you believe, consistency is everything.
