Palestine must’ve been freed

Did we miss one of the greatest events of our time – the freeing of Palestine? Looks that way, because no one is crying out anymore for Palestine to be freed, so it must’ve happened while we weren’t paying attention!

Those blue hair, nose-ringed Woke young men and women are no longer filling up the streets, waving their red, white, black and green flags, crying over the tragedy of Gazans at the hands of their wicked Israeli oppressors. 

No, it’s been swapped out for the latest social grievance of coming to the defense of illegal migrant child rapists and murderers whose reputations have been laundered to the status of “upstanding neighbors.” 

Apparently, the shelf-life of suffering Palestinians is only good for 2 years and 3 months. After that, it becomes old and stale. Yasser Arafat must be turning in his grave.  

After all, he is the “Father” of the faux Palestinian movement who devoted his life’s work to coming up with the P.L.O. (Palestinian Liberation Organization) cause. The goal was to draw attention to the suffering people, who refused to share the land which had been partitioned to accommodate two sovereign nations per the U.N. vote of 1947.

But wait, there’s more. Egyptian-born Arafat propelled and advanced the narrative of this manufactured injustice by excelling at being the consummate poster-child for the rights of Palestinians. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, it was never clear why a man, who was denounced by Islamic rivals as having been corrupt, would be worthy of such an honor.

Never having brought a better life to those he claimed to champion, his successors continued to exploit the “marginalized people” whom they cynically used in order to squeeze out world sympathy, money and every type of concession possible. 

Succeeding well beyond Arafat’s wildest dreams, they were able to amass great wealth and live in the lap of luxury while the 20-year back-breaking tunnel construction proceeded, all towards the aspiration of Israel’s final destruction.

Not a moment’s thought was given to the obvious repercussions, which would ensue, negatively impacting upon Gazans who loyally trusted their benefactors and would-be saviors. 

Enter the ignorant Woke who came to the rescue of the people that foolishly sacrificed their sons for the lost cause of eliminating the Jewish homeland. Unable to put the puzzle pieces together, these pathetic social justice warriors could not critically examine the history of these people, their own hateful attitudes toward Israelis and the indifference shown by their leaders.

Nor could they figure out that one of the longest and most successful scams had been pulled off by unprincipled Arabs, who found a way to maximize lazy, uneducated activists whose lives only have meaning when they become valiant heroes for the disenfranchised.

The only problem is that they always choose the wrong side. Rather than looking at all of the employment opportunities offered by Israel to empowering Gazans and others living in Judea and Samaria, so that they could have a better life, Israel was assigned the role of oppressor.

It was so much easier than unraveling the truth. Let’s not forget that it also served to foment the antisemitism, an extra-added bonus. But what happens when your cause is trumped by another one which threatens to be exposed and upended by smart investigators who have unearthed an even bigger scam?

It means that the “marginalized and oppressed” are, once again, abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Because the defense of a fake injustice is only good until another more pressing fake injustice must be covered up. And that is the one which is presently happening in Somali-ridden Minnesota.

It’s the new cause célèbre which must take precedent, front and center, relegating all others to take a back seat.  The upside is that it temporarily relieves pressure on Jews and the State of Israel.  

But make no mistake. It always returns on the head of Jews, because, somehow, they end up being the most reviled of society, needing to absorb the blame for whatever goes wrong.  

So, while “Be Good” lapel pins are mass produced to honor Renee Good, the professionally-trained Minnesota activist, who defied I.C.E. agents but ended up dead as she was shot running over one of them, the mixed assortment of Woke anarchists will quickly move on to the next urgent defense of the “oppressed of the month.”   

Which leads us to ask how legitimate was the cause of upholding and backing the people of Gaza, many of whom would happily remain under the control of the same Hamas terrorists who embittered their lives?

In other words, what happens to individuals who consistently make bad choices which lead to their ruin? Should they continue to be bailed out so that they can repeat their mistakes? 

Here’s another question. Should these “oppressed” rely upon fair-weather redeemers who are able to turn their backs on them and walk away from their suffering, at a moment’s notice, as if was never that important? 

Now that they have been forced to turn their attentions to providing cover for the consequences of mass illegal migration, which allowed hardened criminals to come in and flagrantly steal from the U.S. government, to the tune of billions, the plight of Gazans pales by comparison.

The cries for “Free, Free Palestine” have, instead, been replaced by the expletive-laden demand for I.C.E. law enforcement to leave their cities. One young woman arrived at a protest, with her baby, chiding those who were tasked with rounding up the illegal criminals. In her words, she vowed to continue her commitment of “loving her neighbors,” apparently despite their heinous crimes. 

But it is not only the arrest and deportation of these criminal migrants which has the “Free Palestine” crowd worried. As the disclosure of a multi-billion- dollar Somali scandal was uncovered, rocking Minnesota, as well as other similar potential scams in other states, agitators and activists must switch their focus to where it’s most needed.  If that’s at the expense of Gaza, so be it!

Just chalk up the orphaning of their former oppressed wards in favor of the greater good – to make sure that real justice never prevails. It’s all part of a  hard day’s work for the useful idiots who never believed in their “Free Palestine” cause, because if they did, they wouldn’t have hastily dropped it for the next needy victim!
