Very lucid article. Not sure how i haven't discovered you before as you are a fine writer and we seem to be really close politically. You are right that the attitude of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend' is a terrible basis for anything. The left who supported the Islamist revolution in Iran found this out at the cost of their lives. 'Queers for Palestine' will probably learn it at some point too.
