YouTube Description
as posted by the channelYou can be Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestinian. Anyone that says otherwise is perpetuating an ideological war of weaponized nationalism.
Palestinian suffering is real, and it is happening on too many fronts. A true representative of the Palestinian People, or activist that fights for Palestinian rights, is one that cares about all forms of Palestinian suffering, and not just about cherry-picking certain instances of Palestinian suffering when it can be manipulated as political ammunition against another people.
More often than not, “Palestinian activists” do not actually care about solving or fixing injustices that Palestinians experience. It is functional for them to keep Palestinians as victims, and to strategically only talk about suffering that can be used as a tool to attack Israel’s legitimacy and identity.
Their “anti-normalization” policy is proof. The reality is that there is no future where the Israelis or the Palestinians just disappear. So refusing to engage with Israelis and demonizing Israel only serves as fuel to this seemingly everlasting conflict.
Such voices are only using and abusing Palestinians in order to pursue their true agenda, which is to counter Israel/Jews. These movements not only cause further separation between Israelis and Palestinians, but hijack all spaces that real Palestinian activists need in order to create the necessary dialogue to move forward and policies to change the future.
