Progressive except Palestine

"Progressive except Palestine" (also known as PEP, alternatively written as "progressive except for Palestine") is a phrase that refers to organizations or individuals who describe themselves politically as progressive, liberal, or left-wing but who do not extend those liberal values to Palestinians or do not comment on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Those who use the phrase regard the position it describes as a type of political hypocrisy and an example of anti-Palestinianism, while critics of the phrase regard it as anti-Israel and a smear against the Zionist or pro-Israel left.
