Palestinianism: the fictitious cause designed to make antisemitism respectable - Melanie Philips

Causes of the “tsunami of antisemitism … through Britain and in the United States”: Muslim antisemitism, and Palestinianism  (the fictitious cause designed  to make antisemitism respectable – M. A.)

Britain’s … Community Security Trust, reported … the October 7 pogrom has driven antisemitism to its highest levels in more than 40 years.

On police advice, the Jewish chaplain at Leeds University went into hiding with his wife and family after threats to murder him and rape his wife.

The government’s concern is genuine.  But … anti-Jewish hatred [is] … out of control…  because…  the government has refused to acknowledge the cause…. In both Britain and America, there are two elephants in this particular room.

The first is support for the Palestinian cause, … the default position for western “progressives”. Pro-Palestinianism is by definition anti-Israel and anti-Jew. This is because it’s based on the denial and cultural appropriation of Jewish history in the Land of Israel … to construct an entirely fictitious historical and legal “Palestinian” claim to the land. The Palestinian Authority, … the supposedly moderate and respectable side of the Palestinian cause, pumps out … Islamic incitement through Nazi-style demonisation of the Jewish people and genocidal threats to … kill the Jews. The second rampaging pachyderm is Muslim antisemitism…. Jew-hatred is a default in the Islamic world…. Yet most politicians and Jewish community leaders … won’t breathe a word about this. People who do so are denounced as “Islamophobic”.
