I concur entirely with this insightful article and your astute observations. The “Cause” is an overt recruitment campaign perpetrated by the Progressive Marxists to undermine Western democratic civilisation. Typical of subversive tactics, the Progressives are manipulating the oppressor narrative by promoting an unholy alliance with Islamic jihadists. The outcome will be devastating for modern tolerant societies, in particular Europe. The support for the Palestinians resonates with many younger generations because of woke causes such as critical race theory taught in schools, Western culture and history has been deliberately distorted to poison children against their country. Sadly the educational institutions responsible for nurturing future leaders is instead indoctrinating a generation of radicals to deconstruct the very society that established the freedoms and privileges that our ancestors gifted them. Nihilist progressives must first destroy everything in order to rebuild their utopia. Naively their unholy alliance with jihadists and its competing ideology will ensure the progressives are disposed of once Western civilisation implodes. The future will be Sharia law. On a side note for the author, I believe the intention of the Cause is to introduce antisemitism to an entirely new generation that, until the present, was spared from bigotry and discrimination. Regrettably, antisemitism is a core factor in the Marxist calculus of oppressor and oppressed. Ironically Israel, a nation oppressed in a region of intolerance, is fighting for Western values, and sadly Western societies are condemning our ally.
Unfortunately they're fooling many, especially the young, gullible and university-educated, who don't realize that their zeal and ignorance and vague desire to "make the world a better place" are being manipulated and utilized for nefarious ends. As long as the New Left still controls Western culture and education there will be plenty of new recruits for the Free Palestine cult. If even their Jewish professors claim Israel is evil, how can the claim be false? It's much easier to fool people (especially in our age of digital tribes and online dogma police) than to convince them they've been fooled.
Agree. Self-loathing Jewish members of the professoriate don't realize the old saying that appeasing the crocodile is based upon the belief/hope that he'll eat you last.
I think the "young" are bing fooled by generalized revolutionary rhetoric. They have been indoctrinated to believe that terror and murder in a "just cause" is to be applauded. We have seen this before back in the 60's. No one believes the Palestinian movement is about peace and co-existence. It's about destroying Israel. These same "young" rail against their own country even though it makes their bougie existence possible and gives them the freedom to do so.
"the end result is the Construct of Israel." ?? Does this mean that Israel has been committing genocide since 1948? That is one long, slow genocide...
A genocide is the deliberate destruction of an entire people and can be easily disproved in this case: even taking the worst estimates at face value, no more than 5-10% of Gazans have been killed, far below the numbers of any prior genocide; there are no mass graves or mass murders typical of all prior genocides (the Nazis and Hutus killed more people in one day than have been killed in this entire conflict); if Israel intends to kill Palestinian civilians, why does it send Arab-language warnings to civilians before attacks? Why does it evacuate civilians through humanitarian corridors? Why does it send foot soldiers on dangerous missions when bombs dropped from the air can kill far more?
If Israel’s war in Gaza qualifies as genocide, it would constitute a striking historical outlier: perhaps the first such case of genocide triggered by a mass terrorist attack involving the slaughter of civilians and the taking of hostages; the first in which the genocider permitted food, fuel, and humanitarian aid to flow into the territory of its purported victim; and potentially the only instance in which the perpetrators lacked any prior plan or ideological commitment to extermination. It may also be unique in that the targeted group’s combatants have deliberately embedded themselves in civilian infrastructure and sought to increase civilian casualties for strategic and propaganda purposes. And it could be the only genocide that might plausibly be halted on the spot—not by the genocider, but by the group claiming victimhood.
A leak from a source in the IDF, said that the Gaza Health Ministries Genocide figures were accurate. That's over 72,000 dead found, with probably another 25 to 30,000 under the rubble.
There's nothing Anti Semitic about that. It's just the disgusting truth about The Zionist Israeli Construct.
Who cares what you think. Since 1948 the Arabs have tried over and over again to destroy Israel. I guess Hamas using the Gazaniacs as human shields, endlessly attacking Israel, putting their facilities under hospitals, school, and mosques doesn't count. Guess you think Israel should NOT defend itself and just learn to die in place to make your kind happy.
The Palestinians have a wholly symbolic existence in the mind of Westerners, they are not people but a Cause, and the Cause is much more important than the actual people it claims to represent, which is why the welfare of the Palestinians is never a paramount concern for their Western wannabe saviors. The people can be failed or be killed, but the Cause must live on.
When chanting "Free Palestine" does anyone stop to ask—free them from what exactly? How could any Palestinian be free when they're ruled by a theocratic kleptocratic dictatorship? Is Israel really the cause of Palestinian misery or could it be the world's worst leaders combined with a culture saturated with toxic Jew hate? But to ask hard questions is to face a complicated reality, whereas to join a mob and chant simplistic slogans makes the chanters feel righteous and SEEN and morally superior to their political opponents, which is the main purpose of the Cause.
The Palestinians are simply the latest sacred victims of the Social Justice faith and the social media age, where the suffering of distant strangers is a valuable resource that serves as a trendy commodity for people hoping to get ahead by publicly atoning. The victims and their circumstances are mostly irrelevant, the real goal is for the Westerner to parade their moral vanity, display how kind, wise and compassionate they are and to appropriate the suffering of distant strangers in the hope of increasing their social and political power.
God protect all of us from ever becoming someone else's Cause! It might be worse than being their enemy.
A tour de force that in a just world would be published on the front page of the New York Times, the Washington Post or the Wall Street Journal! This article is the unvarnished truth with no lies detected! The Pro-Palestinian Movement is motivated by antisemitism and false propaganda. Those who are members of the Pro-Palestinian Movement are either antisemitic or misguided and misinformed. The movement is decentralized, disorganized mess with no clear leadership structure, principles or goals. It is plagued by the presence of antisemites and Jihadists within its ranks. The tactics its uses are all wrong and are divisive and repel the general public in the West from the Palestinian cause. The refusal to condemn Hamas and October 7th is a big strike against them as well. They also refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist and accept Zionism. Their biggest problem is to use a medical analogy; the movement has correctly diagnosed the ailment but has prescribed the wrong remedy. They see Israel as the source of all the Palestinian people's problems. Israel is NOT the Palestinian people's oppressor historically or in the present that would their own government and the Arab countries. But you never see the Pro-Palestinian Movement protest Fatah or Hamas or the apartheid system against Palestinians in countries like Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. If they did, the Palestinian people would be a lot better off. If instead of elevating divisive and inflammatory voices like Noura Erakat, Norman Finkelstein, Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pappe, Mahmoud Khalil, Abby Martin, and Nerdeen Kiswani and organizations like Within Our Lifetime and Students for Justice in Palestine, they would instead highlight and uplift Palestinian voices like Hamza Howidy, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, Bassem Eid, John Aziz, Mosab Hassan Yousef, and Mudar Zahran and they would call for the immediate release of the hostages and the unconditional surrender and disarmament of Hamas.
They would protest Fatah and Hamas and call for their toppling. They would call for peaceful dialogue, cultural exchange and peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians and the creation of a Palestinian state led by a secular, liberal democracy. They would call for greater economic cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians and for Israeli businesses in the occupied territories to hire more Palestinians. They would call for the Palestinian's leaders to quit with the terrorism and invest in education, healthcare and infrastructure. They would vigorously condemn October 7th for the atrocities they committed against Israeli civilians and soldiers and for the death and destruction they brought down on the people of Gaza. They don't do any of these things. The Pro-Palestinian Movement isn't so much Pro-Palestinian as they are anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. They don't care about the Palestinian people or at least not as much as they think they do. This isn't a movement for equality, justice and human rights. This is a movement about hating Jews and Israel. It's all about delegitimizing the nation state of the Jewish people. The BDS Movement instead of doing the logical thing and calling for boycotts of, divestment from and sanctions on Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, etc. they insist on going after the only Jewish state in the world and the only democracy in the Middle East. In the process, they cause Palestinians to lose their jobs. How can you free someone by taking away their means of feeding their families? That's not liberation, that seems like the exact opposite to me. They would be better served protesting the corruption of the Palestinian Authority, the brutality and repression of Hamas or the apartheid in Gaza against Afro-Palestinians. Those in the movement would do well to watch the footage of October 7th and documentaries like October 8th, Hope in the Holy Land, Screams Before Silence, and Surviving October 7th. I would also recommend to them the following books:
* Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn by Daniel Gordis
* On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization by Douglas Murray
* Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Choices by Mosab Hassan Yousef
* October 7: Voices of Survivors and Witnesses by Tal Chaika
* Testimonies Without Boundaries: Israel: October 7th 2023 by Alon Penzel
* Hamas: The Quest for Power by Beverely Milton-Edwards
* When the Stones Speak: The Remarkable Discovery of the City of David and What Israel's Enemies Don't Want You to Know by Doron Spielman
* Beyond Proportionality: Israel's Just War in Gaza by Thane Rosenbaum
* The Builder's Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West and Why Only They Can Save It by Melaine Phillips
There is no Pro Palestinian Movement. There is a Destroy Israel Movement. Period. Everyone knows this. No one is so stupid as to believe that empowering Hamas to sacrifice Palestinian lives in their frenzy of Jew murder can possibly be helping the Palestinians. But that is not what the "movement is about." The goal is the end of Israel and they will fight to the last Palestinian the better to blame Israel.
Joshua, this is beyond brilliant. So well worded that it goes right to the heart of the deluded and ignorant western liberals that support the palestinians .. well done.

Excellent article and commentary.
If only the legacy media would report this truth!
This is excellent reading. Thanks for the great analysis.
Being "Pro-Palestinian" is a cover for anti-Jewish and Israel. These freaks aren't fooling anyone though they think themselves clever.
Unfortunately they're fooling many, especially the young, gullible and university-educated, who don't realize that their zeal and ignorance and vague desire to "make the world a better place" are being manipulated and utilized for nefarious ends.

Stupid doesn't know that it's stupid.
Although, even a Stupid Zionist knows what Genocide means.
In Fascism this isn't a moral question.
However, when the two are joined, the end result is the Construct of Israel.

Fabulous. Bravo. Flawless too.

Exactly. Well said.

The so called Palestinian movement has always had one goal namely the rendering of the Stste of Israel Judenrein
All they have ever wanted is the destruction of Israel.

Great article; all true, but 80% of Palestinians support Hamas, so true support of Palestinians also implies support of Hamas.
The best essay of recent times. There is nothing else that is left to be said.
It is easier to fool people, than for people to admit that they’ve been fooled
