@globeandmail From 2015 through 2024, the UN General Assembly adopted 173 resolutions against Israel and 80 against all other countries combined. By condoning this antisemitic obsession, I would say Canada has failed to advance equality.
Palestinianism is a dumping ground.
A catch-all container for every resentful ideology, every broken theory, every radical cause.
Marxists, postcolonialists, jihadists, queer activists, anarchists, environmentalists, anti-capitalists, and antisemites, they all pour their agendas into it.
It’s the perfect host, just vague enough to absorb anything, just angry enough to justify everything.
Muslims use it to legitimize jihad and martyrdom.
Marxists use it to revive class warfare under the guise of anti-Zionism.
Postcolonial theorists use it to attack the West.
Intersectional activists use it to link Palestine to trans rights and racial justice in a grotesque logic of shared victimhood.
Academics use it to inject critical theory into international politics.
Antisemites use it to camouflage their hatred as humanitarianism.
Palestinianism is where incompatible ideologies suddenly find unity.
What binds them isn’t a coherent vision of justice, but a shared enemy: Israel, the West, the Judeo-Christian world, the structure, the order.
Palestinianism has become the dumping ground where failed ideologies go to be reborn.
