I’m surprised to see cancel culture reach the shores of Singapore.

A storied hotel venue, the Fullerton hotel, succumbed to pressure by activists who defiled their Instagram comments and left 1-star Google reviews, to cancel hosting a “Friends of Israel” gala event.

That this particular conflict tends to command an outsized presence in the global imagination disproportionate to its geographic scale, is a real negative externality for many other nations.

It draws in so much attention and emotion that it just ends up consuming all the political and moral oxygen in the room. All other crises are eclipsed; all other tragedies, ignored. There’s not a society on earth it doesn’t split and undermine, especially in an age of social media.

Every flare-up, every image, every narrative ignites passions and polarizes the discourse, leaving little room for nuance or competing concerns.

I think it’s important to note how one can advocate for Palestinian causes constructively vs. destructively.

Large revolutionary marches with violent rhetoric and attempts to cancel institutions and businesses that should be neutral simply for associating with a particular side of the conflict - these are destructive and anti-social. These are vanity projects that reward tactics that tear at the fabric of society and do nothing to help Palestinians.

In contrast, raising money for humanitarian aid and for scholarships for Palestinian students to study at universities worldwide? These are positive and constructive ways to help Palestinians.

Singapore launched the Palestinian Scholarship Initiative (PSI) which offers scholarships for a vetted few students to study for free at Singaporean universities.

This allows them to see a life where stability and prosperity is possible. It allows them to take that knowledge and go home to rebuild and remake Gaza.

I’ve seen people say that Gaza could have become “Singapore on the Med;” this kind of activism does more to help them achieve it.

TL;DR:

Thank heavens war is over - it’s been used as a cudgel to exploit fissures in societies that have nothing to do with the conflict.

Less of the Marxist revolutionary stuff; more constructive activism —> recognize the difference

This tweet perfectly incapsulates all that is wrong with critical social justice. Historical illiteracy coupled with a frothy mouthed desire to enact revenge on the present for the events of the distant past.
