First, perhaps most basically, the sheer cruelty — the scope of the violation of human, i.e., natural individual, rights — of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians warrants the concern of all who favor freedom and other (classical) liberal values: justice, social cooperation, free exchange, and peace.
The second reason why Palestine matters is that American taxpayers are forced to underwrite this system of injustice and repression.
The third reason I want to point to is the threat of a wider war, one that could reach beyond Palestine and Israel and even beyond the Middle East.
Phi Beta Iota: We are all black and we are all Palestinian. Palestine is ROOT.
