Hamas’s wanton slaughter of over 700 Israeli civilians has done more than anything else to expose the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement as a front for murderers. Watching left-wing activists in diverse cities across America carrying signs saying “Boycott Israel” and “Free Palestine” sends chills.
“From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free” is a synonym for murdering Jews en masse. How else will “Palestine” be “free”?
It also shows why the blockade of Gaza is needed. BDS activists call Gaza an “open-air prison.” We can see now that the people there are akin to inmates in a maximum-security prison whose entire reason for being is slaughtering innocent Jews. Lifting the blockade and ending so-called “Apartheid,” as it’s called, would clearly lead to the mass murder of Israelis.
In New York, a demonstrator celebrated the murders and was giddy about terrorists paragliding into a techno concert that ironically was about “Peace” and slaughtering the concert-goers. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei celebrated the slaughter in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
A woman from the Palestinian Youth Movement joined him to celebrate the murder of hundreds, calling it a “glorious victory of the resistance.”
It stands as a reminder that Islamists always greet the open hand of peace with the sword. Entire families were dragged from their homes in Sderot and other towns near the Gaza border and brutally killed. In one video circulating on X, a family is forced to watch terrorists murder their daughter and sister. A surviving sister is heard asking if it really happened. It did happen, and American leftist activists were giddy about the murder.
The demonstrations in support of the Palestinians are like if American leftist activists had marched in support of Adolf Hitler during the 1940s, saying that Jews were responsible for the humiliation of the Versailles Treaty and the impoverishment of Germans that followed World War I. The rationale is identical. Anyone who pays close attention knows that for Hamas and all Islamists, the annihilation of the Jewish people has been their goal.
What else should we think when Palestinians carry Nazi flags, or ideologues such as the late Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi lament that Hitler didn’t finish the job.
Liberals who have promoted the Palestinian cause must face the reality that they’ve been played as useful idiots for genocide.
“But any naivety, any delusion, has dissipated after the events of the last couple of days. It’s not only that Hamas (which has been supported and nurtured by Palestinians and pro-Palestinian activists for decades) has engaged in a horrific mass murder of Israelis. It’s not only that this terrorist group is the most popular party among Palestinians and that most other parties are either just as bad or almost as bad. It’s also that the horrific actions of Hamas are by all accounts widely supported within the Palestinian community and the pro-Palestinian community abroad.”
Denial of reality is what leftist activists do best. It always claims that the victim is responsible for the murder. If only the Israelis hadn’t blockaded Gaza in a vain effort to prevent what ultimately happened, this wouldn’t have happened. The real culprit in this horror show lies about 1,500 miles to the east in Tehran. Outside actors always intrude to manipulate events. If the Islamic Republic of Iran disappeared, Palestinian terrorist groups would be lost.
“The Palestinians have had 75 years to choose to have a state next to Israel, but they have repeatedly chosen terrorism. Through the murder of hundreds of Israelis and the cheering for those murders, they made their final choice clear. Some people will say that it’s the fault of terrorists and not the fault of Palestinians. I won’t be one of those people. Terrorists cannot exist unless they’re supported by the people,” Mr. Maroun wrote.
“Before this, there seemed to still be a glimmer of hope for a Palestinian state, but I now admit that those of us who believed in that hope were naive. That hope is dead now. I see many peace activists, who previously held nuanced views on the conflict, now declaring on social media their unwavering support for Israel.”
Democrats and their counterparts in Europe promote the fantasy that all the Palestinians want is the borders of Israel as they stood prior to the Six-Day War.
If you say “Free Palestine” and “Boycott Israel,” and participate in “pro-Palestinian” demonstrations in the wake of senseless murder, you’re really just like a Nazi who talked about “Judenrein” or freeing Germany from the Jews.
When Palestinian leaders say they consider killing Jews their religious duty, believe them.
