Why is the Democratic Party so timid on Palestinian rights?

I’ve been engaged in Democratic Party platform debates for over three decades and am amazed at how the party consistently gets the section on the Mideast wrong. Wrong because the positions expressed are out of touch with political realities on the ground. And wrong because it is out of sync with the opinions of Democratic voters. Unfortunately, despite some marginal progress in this year’s platform, which was approved on Monday, it’s still 20 years behind the times and out of touch with the views and wishes of voters.
