And this double standard, I've encountered it constantly in my work.
The insistence that the Palestinian cause is uniquely problematic, uniquely in need of being kept out of polite conversation or unreasonable.
This insistence falls apart the moment you compare it to any other conflict where the West has chosen a side.
Now, the World Cup made that visible in real time.
When the Palestinian flag showed up in a stadium in Doha, it wasn't just a symbol of solidarity.
It was an argument.
It said, this issue is not resolved.
We have not moved on.
It doesn't matter what the Abraham Accords said or how many photo ops.
It's going to make any of this go away.
Now, I want to dwell for a minute on Morocco.
Full disclosure, that's the team I support.
I hope they go as far as possible.
But Morocco is an interesting case, and I think it illuminates something about the limits of top-down normalization.
Like I said, the Moroccan government signed the Abraham Accords, and the deal actually included U.S.
recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, which Morocco has long occupied.
It's self a case of a people's right to self-determination being traded away in this diplomatic agreement situation.
So it was a completely cynical arrangement all around.
And yet, when Morocco beat Spain and reached the semifinals, their players held up the Palestinian flag.
When Morocco beat Portugal and the streets of Rabat and Casablanca erupted, the Palestinian flag was there too.
