Despite the apparent contradiction in the sentiments, the Palestinian cause has attracted no small amount of support.
Gaza City, March 15 – One side in a multi-generational ethnic and political conflict that has not only engaged in brutal, cynical war crimes even against its own people, but proclaimed praise for the participants in those atrocities and has proudly associated with the most repressive, murderous regimes in modern history, hopes that you will see their behavior as a moral positive and worthy of support.
In addition to: allying openly with the Nazis; accepting Soviet arms, funding and training; aiming to kill as many Jews as possible by whatever means, especially women and children; recruiting minors and putting them into combat; using civilians as human shields; hijacking airliners; murdering innocents; firing rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas; and threatening genocide of their enemies, among other heinous acts, Palestinian Arabs and their supporters express not regret that such actions take place, but gratification, and offer both honor and financial reward for those who pursue them, as well as for their families – and then expect others to view them with sympathy and consider them the good guys in the conflict with Israel.
“We glorify Hitler, wave the Hakenkreuz, deny Jewish history, seek to massacre everyone who stands in the way of ethnically cleansing the Jews, firebomb kindergartens, embed our military positions among homes and schools, and prefer our own people’s suffering to the thought of Israel being seen in a positive light – please side with us,” the Palestinian message seems to say.
Observers note that despite the apparent contradiction in the sentiments, the Palestinian cause has attracted no small amount of support. “Some of it is Western progressive naïvety,” acknowledged anthropologist Gimmea Braik. “But a hefty portion of it stems straight from the fact that many, if not most, supporters of the Palestinian cause hate Jews as much as, if not more than, they like Palestine. You could engage in the sophistry of pointing out that people often excuse atrocities perpetrated for the right ’cause,’ but when you get right down to it, the most parsimonious explanation for the phenomenon in question is that the Palestinian cause provides cover for every antisemite on the planet to pretend they’re after something noble and just, with the barbarity of Palestinian ‘resistance’ at least a PR inconvenience, at most a net positive.”
Researchers suggested using Palestinian terrorism as a long-term study to determine at what point, if at all, activists in a movement descend into such depravity that even those who once supported the cause become turned off in significant numbers.
