Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib:
Please die, it's great for us!
In a conversation with a “pro-Palestine” individual that I hope one day soon will be available for the whole world to see, the person said the quiet part out loud: dead & maimed Palestinians in Gaza are excellent content on social media to help delegitimize Israel and make this cause popular.
When I pushed back and said that this is just what Sinwar & Hamas wanted and have long promoted, the individual said well, it’s tragic and sad, but they’re going to die anyway, so why not make their sacrifices count. I pleaded that we’re talking about my 12-year-old niece Farah, my dad’s youngest brother uncle Riyad, my aunts Zeinab, my khalo Abdullah, cousins Yahya and Heba, who didn’t want to be sacrificed for your protests and anti-Israel activism on college campuses, but to no avail.
This individual is not alone; for many alleged “pro-Palestine” activists, this is a spectator sport that has little to no impact on their lives and is a means through which to vector far-left cultist ideology and beliefs about resistance, post-colonialism, anti-Westernism, and faux theories of intersectionality.
I’ll say it again: the “pro-Palestine” movement outside of Gaza in general, and especially in the Western world, has devolved into one of the most anti-Palestinian groups of people I have ever encountered; their speech, actions, intentions, and views have consistently demonstrated this fact.
Please stay away from our cause and stop sucking the oxygen out of the room – my family and .. dead Palestinians are not sexy content for your Instagram and social feeds to fuel your ineffective, harmful, divisive, and harmful activism. May 9, 2025. X

This is so sad, in the end of the day most of the pro-Palestine movement isn't pro-Palestine, it's anti-Jews, and it hurts Palestinians too. Even gullible weak people in Israel fall for that propaganda.
“the person said the quiet part out loud: dead & maimed Palestinians in Gaza are excellent content on social media to help delegitimize Israel and make this cause popular.”
In my world, media outfits that play along with this crap would be prosecuted as accomplices in murder.
MAM won’t show this exposure
the Fakestinian Occupation of the land of Israel will finally be terminated soon
any that are genuinely peaceful and loyal will probably be permitted to remain on residency visas
the majority (like the 86 percent that voted for the terrorists in Gaza) will be repatriated to their own Arab countries (or, preferably.... President Trump had it best.....to an Indonesian island where they can be guarded most easily to protect civilized people everywhere from them)
it is amazing just how right PDJT got it with that idea!
it will be even better than Libya or Somalia
Amen

It has always been clear that Hamas sees the civilians of Gaza as expendable martyrs to its cause. It is their cause and not a single civilian life that they care about - their cause and their cause only.
Gazans are all Hamas.
