" Frantz Fanon, a radical theorist of anti-colonial struggle, framed the world as a binary struggle between the oppressed and their colonial oppressors. Today, the radical left apply Fanon’s lens to the Arab-Israeli conflict. In this framing, Israel is cast as the colonial settler state, and the Palestinians as the oppressed indigenous people fighting for liberation. Zionism is equated with white European domination, and Palestinian violence is romanticized as resistance, justified under Fanon’s banner of reclaiming dignity by any means necessary. But this framework is built on a false premise. The Arab-Israeli conflict is not rooted in classic colonialism. It is not about race, and not about European conquest of foreign peoples for resources or dominance. Islamic theology has viewed Jews as religious subordinates for centuries. Long before 1948, long before the founding of Israel, Jewish communities were subject to jizya, dhimmi laws, forced conversions, pogroms, and second-class status under Islamic rule. The hatred did not begin with borders, it began with theology. The war is not over 1967. It’s over 622, the year Muhammad began his campaign, which included erasing Jewish tribes in Arabia. The language used by groups like Hamas and Hezbollah is not the language of civil rights; it is the language of jihad, martyrdom, and divine vengeance. Their charter does not read like Fanon, it reads like Ibn Taymiyyah. To apply Fanon’s model here is dangerous because it obscures the true nature of the threat and reframes a religious war as a liberation struggle, giving jihadists a moral cover they have not earned. It turns religious supremacism into victimhood, and makes the only liberal democracy in the Middle East look like apartheid South Africa. This distortion is not accidental. It serves a purpose: to fracture the West’s moral clarity, to turn its children against its allies, and to redefine good and evil along ideological lines rather than objective truths."

This is a pretty good analysis of the situation.  The left's insistence that every thing be jammed into the oppressor/oppressed binary is annoying as all get out.

I don't say this often, but Trump is 100% correct here.   When a society holds up murdering, terrorist scum ad heroes and rewards their families for their crimes, of course children idolize the scum and want to grow up to be scum too.

It is strange that the left isn't nearly as vocal about getting the one on the right freed as they are the one one the left.   That some random idiot senator can fly (on the government dime) to have drinks with a gang member, but not fly to Gaza to put forth any energy towards getting hostages released or to WNC to offer any support the the disaster victims, tells us plenty about the priorities of the left.

This is the kind of thing that the Dan's of the world silently support, because they're more worried about bashing Israel.

" What do you want me to do? When Jews were being slaughtered in Europe and Russia, I didn’t invade anyone. I went home. I bought land, legally. The region had no sovereign state at the time, only centuries of occupation under foreign empires. I drained swamps, built cities, created infrastructure, and that success attracted migrants, from Egypt, from the Levant, from the Arabian Peninsula, who came seeking opportunity in the land I was reviving. When the occupation collapsed, everyone in the region got a state. The Maronites in the north got Lebanon. The Hashemites got Jordan. Iraq was born. Syria too. So yes, I asked for one state. Just one. And I was told no. I still agreed to share the land, even though I was offered the worst half, mostly desert. They still said no. Then came 1948. Five Arab armies invaded to wipe us out. I fought. I survived. I won. Then I offered peace again. But they answered with the Three No’s of Khartoum: No peace. No recognition. No negotiations. They tried again in 1967 to destroy me. I survived again. I captured more land, not out of ambition, but necessity. But when peace was possible, I gave land back. I returned Sinai to Egypt. I withdrew from Southern Lebanon. I offered to withdraw from Gaza and the West Bank. I offered them everything they asked for in 2000. They walked away. In 2005, I unilaterally withdrew from Gaza. In return I got rockets, terror tunnels, kidnapped civilians. Then came October 7, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Civilians slaughtered. Babies burned. Women raped. So again I ask: What do you want me to do? Because “Never Again” means never again. You don’t get to massacre my people and then cry about the consequences. You don’t get to raise your children to hate and then blame me when war comes. You don’t get to reject every peace offer, every two-state solution, and then ask the world to pretend none of that happened. But I will not apologize for surviving. I will not apologize for fighting back. Never Again means Never Again."

 

To the Dan's of the world, "Never again." means "Turn the other cheek." and meekly walk to the gas chambers, the scimitar, or whatever fate awaits them.

" For years, I stood in prayer as the imam would recite: “O Allah, destroy the Jews and the Christians. O Allah, shake the ground beneath their feet. Make their wives widows. Make their children orphans. Grant victory to the mujahideen in Palestine, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Chechnya.” I had no idea what was happening in Palestine or Chechnya. I couldn’t have explained the history of Afghanistan or Somalia. What I knew was simple: they were Muslims, and the other side were infidels. That was enough for me to say "Amen". Now I watch Western activists, many of them with zero knowledge of Islamic theology or the history of the region, marching under banners of “resistance,” chanting slogans that frame Hamas as victims and Israel as colonial oppressors. Do they know what Hamas believes? Do they know what it means when jihad is invoked as worship? They’ve been fed a curated history that begins in 1948 and leaves out everything inconvenient, like Israel’s repeated peace offers. This ignorance isn’t neutral. It allows them to project their own framework, of race, power, and Western guilt, onto a conflict they don’t understand."

Again, the Dan's of the world choose to "misunderstand" this aspect of Islam and how prevalent it is and how much it's growing in the West, to cling to a fantasy.

The fact that American leftists can ignore the fact that the people they support are engaged in this sort of negotiation and blame Israel for everything is disgusting.   I can't imagine how they'd react if one of their children was held hostage by terrorist scum.    Even mo-net that they'd either become raving maniacs and demand the complete destruction of Hamas or they'd  simply write off their child as a "cost of doing business" because Hamas needs hostages to stop the oppression.   I'd hate to have one of these Dan Types for a parent.
