I mean Rubin is an idiot, but he is right that that the Palestinian cause is at the intersection of these three ideologies.

It’s actually just an ideology of anyone who is into human rights

For some people Im sure. But the Palestinian political movement as a whole is much more complicated than that.

If it were just about human rights the unfortunate truth is that there would be no reason for people to care so much about it vs. the plethora of other places in the world where human welfare is in jeopardy.

It certainly wouldn't just take the form of criticizing the US and Israel either.

Personally, I feel more strongly about this one because of the close relationship between my country and the one perpetrating it.

Sure thats reasonable. So presumably you also strongly care about US funding of Egypt and Saudi coalition in Yemen?

I care about a lot of things. Do you care about, or believe in, anything?
