@IzaTabaro This is a genius level tweet, thank you!
I've written a lot about Palestinianism; @SamuelJHyde11 writes about how antizionist fervor is rooted in acting out Christianity. It's the Omnicause, solely because Jews.
The admission by Hamas & PIJ themselves that their fighters systematically posed as journalists is the most important storyline of the Gaza war. It means every bit of information out of Gaza was curated. It destroys the “genocide�� narrative. This is why the story is ignored.

This, as described here, is called Palestinianism. You can distill it down to: Let's blame all our problems on the Jews instead of taking personal responsibility; punish and assault the Jews; then wonder why the problems aren't solved as our society collapses.
See: N*zi Germany.
Anyone who's familiar with Arab politics knows that anti-Zionism is a cognitive trap that collapses all political analysis into a single explanatory theory. Why no democracy? America protects Israel. Why poverty? The regime serves American-Israeli interests. Why corruption? The rulers are traitors working for Israel. Every domestic failure gets routed through this singularity, which means the actual causes of the failure become literally unthinkable, genuinely unavailable as categories of analysis because the entire space of political reasoning has been totally consumed. The political decisions that flow from this captured consciousness are then what actually produce the conditions of poverty and unfreedom that the theory pretends to explain.
This is, without doubt, what the rise of anti-Zionism threatens will do in Western societies and you can already see it. The American opposition that forces everything through Palestine/Israel isn't just wrong about chains of causality; it's actively generating the dysfunction it attributes to the Zionist-American conspiracy or empire or whatever. The singular theory is not merely a misdiagnosis but the very pathogen that produces the disease it claims to name.
Every population whose political cognition has been captured by the Palestine/Israel symbol ultimately and inevitably becomes an open field of exploitation because they become incapable of seeing the causes of their own immiseration, and thereby unwittingly but actively reproducing the conditions of their immiseration, often through the very act of trying to resist it.
This is rather to understate the situation, the actual statistics reveal the absurd evil of all the lies about Jews:
"About 1.81 million Muslims live in Israel.
Roughly 27,000 Jews live across all ~50 Muslim-majority countries today (mainly Turkey 14k, Iran 9k, Azerbaijan 7k; all Arab states <5k total).
100 years ago ~800,000-1 million Jews lived in those same MENA Muslim-majority lands." (As per @grok)
So a complete ethnic cleansing then. The Third Reich could only have dreamed.
This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!
Eric Hoffer wrote this article about the Jewish state in 1968. Amazing how nothing changed since.
"The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it, Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese-and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.
Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.
Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.
No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him.
The Swedes, who are ready to break of diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.
I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us."
