They Are Lying to You About 'Palestine'. Here Is the Self-Destructive Truth.
Let’s be brutally honest. The romantic, sanitized image of “Palestine” that has been sold to the world is a dangerous fiction. For decades, we have been told a story of noble victims, of a simple struggle for land and freedom. But the events of October 7th, and the global movement’s reaction to it, did not just start a war. They ripped the mask off a political project that has revealed itself to be inextricably bound to a nihilistic death cult.
The time for polite debate is over. The concept of “Palestine,” as promoted by its leaders and loudest activists, is not a cause for progressives to champion. It has become a banner for terror, a justification for chaos, and a direct assault on the very values of civilization and self-preservation. To support it now is to be willfully blind.
The Lie: A Noble Cause Betrayed by a Few
They want you to believe that the Palestinian cause is a beautiful, righteous movement for self-determination, merely tainted by a few extremists. They whisper that Hamas is a separate entity, that the chants of violence are not representative, that the global support network is built on pure human rights advocacy.
This is a deliberate, malicious deception.
Look at the evidence. When the UK government officially designated the group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization for its campaign of criminal damage and intimidation, who rushed to their defense? The movement’s celebrated cultural ambassadors. The band Kneecap, championed by the liberal elite, publicly celebrated the proscribed terror group, solidifying a direct link between the mainstream face of the cause and legally defined terrorism. This isn't a fringe element; it's the official soundtrack.
Look at their public gatherings. At Glastonbury, the pinnacle of liberal culture, the cause’s true voice echoed not with calls for peace, but with shrieks of “Death to the IDF.” It was so vile that even the festival organizers and the BBC had to condemn it for what it was: “hate speech” and “incitement to violence.” The movement is so toxic it forces its own potential sympathizers to denounce it in public.
And what of the media that props up this lie? We now know, thanks to whistleblowers at the BBC, that a pro-Palestine faction of journalists rages not at war, but at the enforcement of basic journalistic ethics. They are furious at the idea of vetting their sources for connections to Hamas. Their goal is not truth; it is activism. They are not reporters; they are propagandists for a cause whose claims cannot withstand basic scrutiny.
The Truth: A Movement Incapable of Life
The most damning indictment of the Palestinian national project comes not from its enemies, but from its own mouthpieces. They have unwittingly painted a picture of a society so broken, so fundamentally dysfunctional, that the argument for statehood collapses under the weight of its own evidence.
In a moment of breathtaking honesty, an Al Jazeera op-ed described aid distribution in Gaza as a horrifying “Hunger Games” of “chaos and death.” This is their own assessment. If a society cannot manage the simple, vital task of feeding its own people without descending into a deadly free-for-all, how can it possibly be expected to manage the complex machinery of a state? They are making the case against their own capacity for self-governance more effectively than anyone else could. The narrative isn't one of a nation-in-waiting; it's one of a society in a state of self-inflicted collapse.
This dysfunction is a direct result of its leadership. While the world begs for a ceasefire, who stands in the way? Reporting, even in sympathetic outlets, consistently identifies Hamas’s insane demand for a permanent end to the war—a guarantee to rearm and repeat October 7th—as the “main point of contention.” The suffering of the Gazan people is not a tragic byproduct of conflict; it is a strategic asset being deliberately prolonged by their own rulers. Hamas chooses war over peace, martyrdom over life, every single time.
Their own media even validates Israel’s entire military strategy. They boast that “Hamas still maintains key leadership, organized forces, and operational control.” They are admitting that the war is not against a civilian population, but against an entrenched, organized terror army that continues to operate. They are confessing that the job is not done.
The Moral Contrast: Progress vs. Militant Nihilism
This is not a complicated moral equation. On one side, you have a vision of society that, however flawed, builds, creates, and seeks to integrate. On the other, a movement that seeks only to disrupt, intimidate, and destroy—even its own potential allies.
Consider the spectacle of so-called “pro-Palestine” activists using what they themselves call “militant” tactics to disrupt a Pride festival in Denver. They showed up not to build bridges, but to hijack a space dedicated to another marginalized community, screaming their demands and alienating the very progressives they claim to represent. This is not allyship; it is narcissistic fanaticism. It reveals a worldview where only their grievance matters, and all other struggles for liberation are merely platforms to be stormed and used.
This is the ultimate moral contrast. One side builds universities, hospitals, and tech companies. The other side celebrates terror groups, disrupts Pride parades, and glorifies a massacre of civilians as a step toward nationhood. One side’s journalists struggle with complex ethical realities; the other’s rage when asked to not use a terrorist group as a primary source. The line has been drawn not in sand, but in concrete.
The Strategic Imperative: Stop Rewarding Terror
We are at a precipice. To continue to legitimize this movement, to speak of a “Palestinian state” born from the ideology of October 7th, is not just naive—it is strategically insane. It is to announce to the world that terrorism works. It is to declare that slaughtering families, inciting hatred, and holding your own population hostage is a viable path to international recognition.
To grant statehood to a political entity whose own media describes it as a chaotic “Hunger Games,” whose leaders intentionally prolong war for political gain, and whose global activists celebrate terror, would be to create a permanent, funded, and internationally sanctioned terror state on Israel’s border. It would be an eternal monument to the success of nihilistic violence.
The historical claim to the “entire land of Israel” was never a negotiation tactic. It was a statement of intent. The October 7th massacre was not a desperate cry for help. It was the ultimate expression of that intent. The choice before us is not between two competing nationalisms. It is between a future of possible coexistence and a future dominated by a death cult that we chose to legitimize.
We must stop lying to ourselves. The brand of “Palestine” being sold today is poison.
The choice is clear. So what can you do?
- Share this truth. Do not let the fiction of a noble struggle stand. Challenge the narrative online, with your friends, and in your community.
- Demand clarity from your elected officials. Ask them if they stand with the movement that celebrates terrorism and incites hatred, or with the principles of democratic civilization.
- Do not be silent. Your silence is consent. Your voice is a weapon against the normalization of terror. Use it now.
