They're All Gazans
The entire Gaza phenomenon is baffling. On October 7, Gazans showed themselves to be the most depraved, perverted and murderous people on the planet. And yet, instead of the universal horror and condemnation that one would have expected, their attempt at genocide brought them international support and even popularity.
I can’t imagine that these young Italians care anything about Gazans. They certainly don’t care about Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptians, Jordanians, Saudis, or any other Arabs. Or about any other Muslims, most notably the Iranians, who suffer under horrific tyrannies. I think their purported pro-Gaza activism is nothing more or less than a particularly virulent form of anti-Semitism. They want to globalize the intifada, which is to say, kill the Jews wherever you can find them.
I am not an expert on the history of the 1930s, but it seems to me that the anti-Semitism we are seeing today, primarily in Western Europe and in North America, is more widespread than during that era. Not only that, it enjoys the support of much of the Western establishment, i.e., most of that part of the establishment that is on the left. Anti-Semitism has become a sort of secret handshake by which the “right” people (i.e., the Left people) can identify one another.
We are living in dark times.
