Perpetuating this conflict, rather than solving it, is in the self-interest of "White Saviors." Without dead Palestinians, their entire purpose in life would disappear.
Bingo! Nailed it! Same with White Supremacist", o "White Inferiorists" -as I call them, since they believe that the act of thinking, or reasoning is a criminal offense, punishable by death!
"Because it is all about them. White Savior Complex is not about helping others, it is about feeling good about yourself. In this upended worldview, dead Palestinians paradoxically give these saviors a sense of meaning".
Fair comment, for sure. I guess my point is that they don't see it in themselves (because, by chanting "Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism," they avoid introspection and cut off opportunities to learn).
I for one ***emphatically*** support the Powerful White Progressives as they assert their Privilege, Moral Superiority, and, above all, their Great Noble Power. Thank you for thoroughly acknowledging their Infinitely Growing Power! The White Saviors feed off of your insufferable whining ***Pat*** (and it’s ***very*** insufferable, and the more I encounter it, the ***sicker*** I get!). To quote rock legend Marilyn Manson, “the more that you fear us, the bigger we get!” The White Savior Industrial Complex is a product of the civilizing and evangelizing Mission of White Westernkind to spread Love, Justice, Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Everywhere We possibly can! It is Christian and secular, but, fundamentally, it is ***WESTERN***.
“White Saviors” might merely be “cult Christians”. I am strongly starting to suspect that Marxism, postmodernism, “critical theory”, et cetera, are all just cultish deviations from Christianity.
1. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has a first “a priori” principle, which is the same as faith, which is the same as declaring who you’re God is. Inescapable, despite angry protests by hip, cool, high status atheists.
2. Without explicitly declaring to yourself what you’re first “a priori” principle is, which is to say if you pretend “I don’t have faith”, then you immediately default to having faith in your own will, which inexorably leads to you believing that ANYTHING is permissible for you to will, including the worst of the “supposed” Christian sins, like murder, idolatry, et cetera.
I have my own testimony which explains these ideas in story form - the bullets above are my attempt to distill them to their core ideas (which makes them very abstract).
A perspective I hadn't considered, and very thought-provoking.

Hope it does a good job
I think the motive is simply good old fashion antisemitism. No need to make it more complicated than that.

Don’t enjoy blaming us Christians tooo much.
I wonder what you make of my article about the "crucifixion" of Israel? https://pat604johnson.substack.com/p/easter-reflections-the-crucifixion
Long. My simpler set of ideas.

Very succinct and no doubt correct!
