Palestine is a Palestinian cause, an Arab cause, an Islamic cause, a Christian cause, a Jewish cause, a humanistic cause and more. All of these things are true and one doesn't take from another and we need all of them. Palestine is *much* bigger than Palestine.

There are those people who think that by demanding that Palestinian voices be centered, we are disowning the extra-Palestinian dimensions of our cause. This is an error in understanding for which I am not responsible. It's not my job to teach you basic reading comprehension.
Balance is not "or", it's "and".
*Everyone's identity is multilayered. You'll be much happier, wiser, and calmer if you acknowledge and reconcile all your identities, rather than insist on having one of them suppress all the others, as if you must be monochrome. I am a Muslim, a Palestinian, an Arab, and more.
A wise man was once asked which of his children he likes best. He said: whoever is weak, until they get stronger; whoever is away, until they return; whoever is sick, until they're healthy
Whichever of our identities is particularly threatened, we feel it more. Human nature.

Seriously, stop projecting your own identity crisis on us. We do not exist as a people and a cause in order to help you resolve your identity. We are not some abstract entity or concept, we're real people and Palestine is a real place.
