if somebody took your home, killed your Grandparents, killed your Father, raped your Mother, put your brother in a prison, without process or any chance of defense, and shot your youngest baby while harassing your village to make you leave, because they want to colonize even more of your people’s land, do you think you’d care of what helped or didn’t help your cause?
And as a matter of fact, there is nothing a Palestinian can do to help the Palestinian cause. They get raped, killed, beaten, amputated, arrested, humiliated, their land stolen, and governments around the world still support Israel, and do NOTHING to help Palestinians. This is going on for close to 80 years now.
do you think you’d care of what helped or didn’t help your cause?
I mean I hope I would, but also that has nothing to do with what I said. The fact that Palestinian antisemitism is rooted in their legitimate anger against their oppressors doesn’t make it any less antisemitic.
And as a matter of fact, there is nothing a Palestinian can do to help the Palestinian cause.
That is completely false. October 7th (and the predictably genocidal backlash to it) essentially expanded the Palestinian solidarity movement by an order of magnitude, and before that the Second Intifada caused Israel to withdraw from Gaza and the First Intifada and the Second Intifada lead to Israel making concessions to Palestinians for the first time ever (the Oslo Accords, as much of a half-measure as they were). Moving away from violent resistance, BDS keeps expanding year after year, costing Israel billions of dollars (though admittedly this is more limited than most of us would like).
