A growing number of politically engaged, media-literate people are coming to realize that the global movement that calls itself “pro-Palestine” not only never cared about Palestinians, but is indefensible at its core. Suddenly everyone from the New York Times to your environmentalist neighbor is scrambling to find and amplify any magical figure, preferably Palestinian, who’ll capture “both people’s aspirations” in some formulation that they can claim to have supported all along. By this they’d simultaneously save face and dodge accountability for all the famine and genocide libels, not to mention avoid apologizing.
This is why, in two weeks’ time, both NPR and the New York Times have handed a microphone to Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, to the utter dismay of all the terror-chic melting witches across social media and the podcast world. People now claim this is the pragmatic vision their “antizionist” romance was trying to articulate all along, despite their infatuation with keffiyahs and intifadas and red-hands pins. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
