The presentation of the clash in Jenin as a massacre shows how hyper-moralised, and thus morally distorted, the Western left’s take on Israel-Palestine has become. Their view ofas the world’s most evil state, an apartheid regime whose every military action is an act of bigoted bloodshed, blinds them to the complexities in that unstable region.
Indeed, truth itself is chased out by this hyper-moralization. Across social media, the untruth about Palestinian civilians being massacred in Jenin spread like wildfire. We ended up with Rashida Tlaib, an actual congresswoman, using the phrase “killing Palestinian children families” in relation to a clash in which, by Palestine’s own admission, it was predominantly armed and active male militants that were killed.
that wants to obliterate Israel and build an Islamic State of Palestine in which Sharia would rule and anyone who defies Sharia — women, gays, non-believers — would be suitably punished. Are these the kind of “victims” Tlaib thinks we should “honour”?Article content Now let us turn to the other massacre of the past week. The real one. This was the shooting to death of seven Jews in a synagogue in East Jerusalem on Friday. On Holocaust Memorial Day. This was a real version of the kind of horror that some claimed, without evidence, had taken place in Jenin. It really was the slaughter of “children and families,” to borrow Tlaib’s words. Two ofwere a married couple. One was a 14-year-old boy.
Western politicians who went online to express horror over the slaughter in the synagogue found themselves bombarded by “pro-Palestine” people asking: “And what about the killings in Jenin?” Some media outlets hinted at a moral equivalence, or at least a moral link, between the Jenin clash and the synagogue killings. In its, the BBC said “tensions have been high since nine Palestinians — both militants and civilians — were killed during an Israeli military raid in Jenin.
...and conservatives should encourage it. If they follow the path of Corbyn's Labour we'll see historic conservative wins. I can hardly imagine a greater gift to the right, especially in the US where Democrats are particularly vulnerable.
There’s a major hot war coming to your neighborhood soon,Mr Rogers..Pick a side
Woke = fascism.
It's not hatred for Israel. It's fatigue. Folks tired of hearing Israel is the victim when they continue to use the same strategies decade after decade against Palestine. Then there is Ukraine. Man, huge disappointment.
Define woke!
down with Israel
what is dangerous is the abuse or hijacking of the word Woke, many of the actions under the guise of woke, the grey def of woke.
Good.
