The debate is also settled this way in real politics, it's just that outside some universities, Jewish feelings win.

EDIT: for downvoters: why is it ok to point out diversity politics in universities and not in US politics?

hi formulaT. I was just giving the Israel-Palestinian debate as one example of a bigger issue. No need to hijack the conversation in that direction.

I just happen to think it's a bad example because political correctness pervades all of politics, but (unlike say White vs Black or Male vs Female), for the Israel-Palestine issue only in the far left would does political correctness favor the Palestinians, while this is reversed in mainstream US politics. So I think it's important to point out that how this example differs from most forms of political correctness.
