Its Not about the "Occupation". It never was

Everyone in the Bay Area has heard it. Its all about "The Occupation". Just the "occupation". Never mind that the vast spectrum of anti-Israel activists from Women in black to Al Awda wouldn't accept a homeland for the Jewish people within any border. Its still about the "occupation".

Except that its not.

According to an AWRAD Poll of Palestinians 15-30 years old only 5.8% most concerned by Israeli Occupation.
Are American anti-Zionists that far removed from reality?
Apparently the answer is "yes"
