The western Palestinian movement has become a hate group, and isn’t making any effort to mitigate anti-semitism within it’s ranks. Only make excuses are you are doing.

This flotilla is an anti-Israel propaganda mission, it doesn’t have anything to do with humanitarianism. Everyone, I mean everyone, knows Gaza is being blockaded and everyone knows there is no possibility of this ship actually getting to Gaza. One wonders if they even bothered to actually put food on the ship, because the point isn’t actually to get food to Gaza. The point is entirely about pushing an anti-Israel narrative.

Israel is not the victim here.

Israel is not a single person. The Israelis being held hostage are certainly victims. Antisemitism in the west has reached a point where it’s no longer safe to raise awareness that Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage, see the Boulder, CO attack. You’re being told you should dehumanize all Israelis (along with anyone that even has empathy for Israelis) so you can believe a simple narrative where all Israelis are evil. Likely you’re also being told that anyone that has empathy for Israelis being held hostage are evil (aka the “Zionist Jews”). You’re probably just not to the point where you’re believing all Jews are evil, but you might be willing to look the other way about the actions of those that do.

That’s how antisemitism works. 100% of the population of Nazi Germany didn’t hate Jews. They only needed to be made willing to look the other way and not ask too many questions while the Nazis were doing what they were doing.

You should be more willing to question the motives of the “Free Palestine” movement. “Free Palestine” were the words of a nutjob that tried to kill as many Jews he could simply because they had empathy for people being held hostage. What is the real goal of this movement? How are they trying to accomplish those goals?
