“It’s ridiculous to argue that because Basher Assad has killed more Palestinians in Syria over the last twelve years than Israel ever has anywhere, the situation in Syria should concern people more.”
Ramallah, May 17 – Two days after the annual observance of Nakba Day to commemorate the flight of Arabs from the nascent State of Israel in thwarted anticipation of Arab armies pushing 600,000 Jews into the sea 75 years ago, the principal adherents of the movement to reverse the creation of Israel voiced their incredulousness that the international community thinks the challenges of Russia-Ukraine, China, Iran, mass migration, climate change, global food insecurity, and other issues at the top of the global leadership agenda deserve greater priority.
On Monday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stood before the UN and called for the body to force Israel to accept the 1947 Resolution 181 – a non-binding plan to partition the land under the British Mandate of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, on which all the Arab nations voted No and Jewish representatives accepted at the time. The Arab rejection transformed the Arab-Jewish guerrilla conflict in the land into a bona fide war, with the invading armies urging Palestinian Arabs to leave temporarily to enable a smooth genocide of the Jews by the volunteer Arab Liberation Army plus the forces of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Transjordan. The Arab armies and local Arab irregulars expelled or killed all the Jews in the areas they conquered, but failed to destroy the nascent Israel, which, despite an international arms embargo, managed to secure an area far larger than allotted to them in the plan the Arabs rejected. In the days since Abbas’s speech, Palestinians and pro-Palestinian activists observed to change in global attitudes on the issue, and expressed their disbelief.
“You can’t seriously think Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is more important,” insisted Palestinian official Nabil Aburdeineh. “It’s ridiculous to argue that because Basher Assad has killed more Palestinians in Syria over the last twelve years than Israel ever has anywhere, the situation in Syria should concern people more. What kind of twisted logic gives greater urgency and attention to genocide of the Uighur Muslims in China than to the cause of rendering the Jews once again a dependent, subject people always living at the pleasure of their Muslim overlords?”
Palestine activists continued their efforts Thursday to shoehorn their pet cause into every other issue in the public eye, with mixed success. Several “allies” of the movement expressed frustration that the pro-Palestine contingent in joint actions appeared to believe that Palestinian efforts to make genocide against the Jews possible again genuinely meant issues such as gun violence in Chicago must take a back seat, thus stymieing both movements.
