Thanks Vanessa, first class article and absolutely correct in every detail.
The 'Palestine' issue has been out of control for decades, but the current fanatic salience is relatively new; I don't believe this is coincidental.
It's impossible to ignore the utter lack of demonstrations, protests, MSM profile on the previous week of state murder in Iran, nor to fail to compare that lack to the global 'Palestinian' publicity and faux outrage.
And of course, there are no Jews, no Israelis and no IDF involved in the tens of thousands of deaths in Iran.
However, noting - just in the UK - the sharp, logarithmic rise of antisemitism, the antisemitic violence, murders and two tier lawfare increasingly being applied; it is no coincidence this is happening against a backdrop of literally millions of legal and illegal immigration of a certain religion and culture. Against a political situation where British parliamentary candidates are quite literally elected on a 'Gaza' ticket.
Where British police openly defer to Muslim requirements.
Where British schools refuse admission to their own Jewish Members of Parliament.
(I could fill the page with further examples)
The point is that a deliberate attempt is being made not just to change the British culture, but to change it in a very specific direction and in favour of a very specific significant minority.
And the point is also that any attempt to recognise these things results in political, professional and public cancellation.
That's just Britain - but from New York, to Berlin, to Paris, to Stockholm, across Western Europe, the same thing is happening.
The only question is whether it is too late to stop it.
And the only answer to that question is whether to join the only UK Party with the will and the aim of stopping it - or just to sit back and accept it.
The "Palestinian movement (worse than an uncontainable bowel movement)" is the most well funded and global propaganda campaign in history. Years in the making, it has rotted Western civilization while bringing us down to the level of jihadists. It's going to take political courage and resolve to reverse, starting with cutting off Qatari money flowing into our universities, and expelling foreign agitators who hate us.
"Further Arab migration to the area occurred after the Jews eradicated it of malaria in the 1920s" and "Many families now identified as Palestinian trace roots to Egypt, Syria, or the Arabian Peninsula, settling in the area during periods of economic development and labor growth produced by — you guessed it — the Jews." Those statements from the article says it all for me. Would the phony Palestinians rather have malaria and economic squalor because they came from the efforts of the Jews?
All good points that I hope do not fall upon deaf ears. Here is more to that point and a simple question I like to ask: What is the origin of the word "Palestine"? The answer: The Origin and Appropriation of the Word ‘Palestine’ May Surprise You.

2) The Western Left can only be roused when their narrative has an opening for a white-savior protagonist, where the heroic white ally helps the poor brown oppressed defeat those OTHER evil whites on their road to justice and liberation. If a country or event is a civil dispute between POCs or other people with high oppression scores (such as Iran, Yemen, Sudan etc), there's no place for their script and starring role and thus they have no interest. The narrative is so crucial that they even had to invent a "white" Israel, while the real Israel is multiracial and at least half Sephardic, not to mention the thousands of Ethiopians and 20% Arab citizentry.
The entire project of the Western Left is a post-religious psychodrama to find all the meaning, community and confessions of sin/guilt that religions provide. And once again, one of the most important rituals is roasting the Jewish scapegoat, who serves the purpose of bearing all our fears, anger, sins, etc.
I think there are two reasons for Palestinian-mania, both based on the political, psychological, social and emotional needs of Western left-liberals, who produce, direct and star in this production, and where the actual Palestinian people are props or extras at best, designed to be a colorful and flattering background for the Westerner to perform in front of.
1) Getting to partake in a fight against Western colonialism and to publicly act out your opposition to all of Western Civ and the many crimes of our ancestors is as rare a treat as an anthropologist finding their own Stone Age tribe or a biologist stumbling upon the last surviving dodo. The Decolonization fetish is a crusade for the Western Left, where they get to occupy the moral high ground and use the many crimes of History as their credential and foolproof argument winner: these people deeply NEED to be seen as heroic radicals helping lead the oppressed on the road to liberation, white saviorism is their sacred faith, life purpose and totalizing cause. That Israel isn't "white" or a colony of any other country, and that Jews are a tiny sliver of humanity protecting a small oasis surrounded by a desert of bloodthirsty theocrats is irrelevant. If you squint hard enough, Israel/Palestine can be a black/white morality play and they've been squinting and creating their fantasy narrative for decades now; and...
Thank you so much for your wonderful/illuminating essay!!!!!!!..... The fact that the proPalestine were SILENT over the multiple DEATHS of the Iranians protesting their diabolic government, clarity show us, they are NOT with the people of Iran........they're with the terrorists/murderers sponsored by Iran' s putrefact /lunatic regime !!!!!.....
Nice work! You show how global media is exploiting Palestinian suffering for profit, while pretending that it is about morality. When systems consistently produces nothing but destruction for Palestinians, one has two choices. 1) blame the system that perpetuates and exploits, or 2) blame the jews.
Few are willing or able to see how the media business model, the UN operating system, or progressive political ecosystem are literally benefiting from supporting lies and distortions that support Hamas, PIJ, etc. The systems condemn Palestinians to remain trapped in their own hatred and victimhood.
I would like to see a documentary about how the UN and UNRWA have been exploiting the Palestinians for 70 years, fostering global support for the hatred and terrorism that incarcerates Palestinians in a Pan-Muslims gulag system.
Because the glorification of the Palestinian cause is, as you accurately point out, beyond belief and a betrayal of fact, it points to the Jew hatred that has not left the western world and reveals the total moral collapse of the West which heralds its downfall. People have simply no idea of the depravity the embrace of the Palestinian cause has in store for the civilization they think announces the future, which will look more like the Flood that followed Cain's founding of cities after he murdered his brother.
Re the arts. I was at a NYC Film Forum last night. Two of the various films being shown....one about Israeli family after Oct. 7th and one "voice of Hind Rajab" which uses this child's death as a means of further vilifying Israel. I didn't see either film. A previous hit film that won an Oscar ran for weeks. Didn't see it. Adelaide Book festival is canceled out of solidarity with a woman whose vile racism is off the charts....but she's Pal-Australian. No other racist comments would be tolerated. She we learn is being unfairly "silenced" by "anti Palestinian racism." Which is non existent. We can expect no more films like Exodus. I'm not even sure about The Band's Visit being performed. The Palestine in the arts movement which carries with it all you write is an ever snowballing propaganda effort and each and every respected venue aside from the Trump-Kennedy Center will be emboldened to showcase it.
Recent genetic Jewish DNA studies prove that Palestinians are the non-diaspora Jews who never left. They are the closest genetic ancestors to the ancient Israelites.
'course you won't mention the Jews of Hebron who were Jews who stayed Jews and never left, but were massacred by the Arabs years before Israel was founded.
Yes, we need to keep trying different vehicles and actions. I also think that stubsackers like Joshua Hoffman have created a lab for ideas and perspectives that has helped focus our community and try out new ways and new approaches for getting at truth. In the past 3 to 5 years, I have seen substantial progress in getting at the core problems we face.

Hahaha ‼️ “Worse than an uncontainable bowel movement “ OH-that’s HILARIOUS ‼️😺❤️😄🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱✝️🇮🇱❤️❤️❤️
Recent genetic Jewish DNA studies prove that Palestinians are the non-diaspora Jews who never left. They are the closest genetic ancestors to the ancient Israelites.
Red/Green Alliance: Communism + Islam = Democrat Party (and every Left wing party in the Western world)
Also (56) Muslim Countries all believing in Jew hatred due to Imams, Koran, Sira and Hadith vs. (1) Jewish Country.
So, "Palestine" (Whatever that is) remains prominent.
'course you won't mention the Jews of Hebron who were Jews who stayed Jews and never left, but were massacred by the Arabs years before Israel was founded.
Thanks. All of us, on our sub-stacks, do tend to repeat ourselves and yet the facts have no effect. Time to slightly change tack.
