Ironically, the test case which led to this setback to freedom and peace was about an American talking to Kurdish separatists, not Palestinians. Elena Kagan and other powerful Zionists chose to criminalize talking about peace to Kurds and Khmers as well as to Papists and Palestinians.

But the main aim of this law is to prevent attempts by Americans to resolve the Israel-Palestine problem. There is no powerful faction in the USA which feels the need to outlaw talking to Tamils or Ugandans about conflict resolution. There is only one ethnic lobby which is opposed in principle to peaceful resolution of its disputes with its neighbors.

The Turkish government has taken the moral high ground. Activists around the world have gone all dewy-eyed toward Istanbul. So let's not forget that the Republic of Turkey, as much as Israel, was founded on ethnic cleansing, the consequences of which remain. Let's avoid wishful thinking like this:

For Turkish politicians, it is convenient to believe that the Kurdish separatists are backed by Israel. If this were true, US Supreme Kagan would probably not have begun her crusade against the first amendment by outlawing talking to them.

On a related note, some of the politicians scrambling to back Israel in its spat with Turkey have threatened to support a bill condemning Turkey's genocide of the Armenians in 1915. For leftists, truth is what you want to believe. For more cynical politicians, it is something to trade.
