Why does the hard left glorify the Palestinians?
By Alan M. Dershowitz, opinion contributor — 05/17/21 12:15 PM EDT

In a world in which massive violations of human rights have, tragically, become the norm, why has the hard left focused on one of the least compelling of those causes — namely, the Palestinians? Where is the concern for the Kurds, the Chechens, the Uyghurs, the Tibetans? There are no campus demonstrations on their behalf, no expressions of concern by “the Squad” in Congress, no United Nations resolutions, no recurring op-eds in The New York Times, and no claims that the nations that oppress these groups have no right to exist.

On the merits and demerits of their claims, the Palestinians have the weakest case. They have been offered statehood and independence on numerous occasions: in 1938, 1948, 1967, 2000-2001 and 2008. Israel ended its occupation of the Gaza Strip in 2005. Yet, even now, Palestinian leaders refuse to sit down and negotiate a reasonable two-state solution. As the late Israeli diplomat Abba Eban once aptly put it, the Palestinian leadership never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Nor are history and morality on their side. The Palestinian leadership allied itself with Nazism and Hitler in the 1940s, with Egyptian tyranny and antisemitism in the 1950s, and with international terrorism from the 1960s forward.

240B:
The simple obvious answer is "money". Many Muslim nations are some of the most wealthy countries on Earth. Which gives them plenty of cash to fund colleges and other groups and to order them to protest whatever they tell them to protest and to ignore whatever they tell them to ignore.

This also buys them massive influence in the U.N.

These factors combined with historical antisemitism by Leftist groups, causes this logical incongruity of so called 'Liberals' supporting murderers, rapists, and blood soaked terrorists, in the Middle East.

It is not about the 'cause'; it is all about the cash.

The Rodents hate America.

America is a democracy.

The Rodents hate this.

Israel is a democracy.

The Rodents still hate this.

Israelis like America.

Rodents hate America.

Muslims hate America.

Rodents hate America.

So clearly there's a natural affinity between Rodents and Muslims.

Muslims in the ME have money they like to spend on their allies to hate Israel.

Rodents like money.

So there's that.
