Gradual and consequential cultural changes throughout the last decades created a clear shift in American-led global culture from a word-based culture to symbol and image-based culture in which doing politics through symbols is becoming more expedient. American culture is /1
starting to gradually resemble that of the Middle East. As such a shift moves further, Palestinian symbolism will become more intelligible to wider segments of Western societies than arguments for Israel. Pro-Palestinian activists, and even Palestinians, are already /2
capitalizing through the strategic deployment of symbolic values such as the name of George Floyd, or symbolic references such as BLM, equality and so on. If such a trend continues it will be extremely difficult to try to make any empirical or fact based arguments for the/3
rights of a Jewish state. After all, to be Jewish is to be bookish. This is just my very long way of saying, Judaism was right all along to fight paganism off so strongly. If you are pro-Israeli but systematically contribute to the advancement of permissive symbol-based pagan /4
culture in America, you are actually a big part of the problem and I do not support your form of Zionism whatever that is. /5
