MLA takes a stand--but without identifying the Israeli culprits

"Here is the text of the MLA's resolution on Palestinian Literature "Whereas Palestinian literature and culture are legitimate subjects of study; Whereas the conditions in the occupied territories have been critical in shaping modern Arabic literature generally; Whereas those teaching and writing about the occupation and about Middle East culture have regularly come under fire from anti-Palestinian groups on extra-academic grounds; Whereas education at all levels in the occupied territories is being stifled by the occupation; Be it resolved that the MLA endorse teaching and scholarship about Palestinian culture, support members who come under attack for pursuing such work, and express solidarity with scholars of Palestinian culture."" Anti-Palestinian groups? Why not say Israeli groups and state? (thanks Geoffrey)
