You can see the issue. Most in the West do not understand the minutiae of what is happening in Palestine – and mistakenly believe their is a united front. As an aside, the only organisation that attempts a broad united front is the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” (PFLP) headquartered in Lebanon. Meanwhile, PA, whilst collaborating with Israel locally (a point that angers Hamas-supporters), backs the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” (BDS) campaign that seeks to economically isolate Israel by encouraging ordinary people in the West not to give their money to Israeli-supporting businesses. PA, therefore, the organisation that has praised North Korea below, advocate collaboration with Israel locally – whilst encouraging those living outside the Middle East to wage an economic war against Israel. Yes – PA complains continuously about the ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the violent behaviour of Israeli-settlers – but does very little about it in practical terms.
