THREAD - The term 'pro-Palestinian' is probably the most misused term in the English Language. Hating Israel does not make you 'pro-Palestinian'. More importantly neither does supporting extremist groups that use Palestinian children as human shields.
Standing in solidarity with those who seek conflict rather than peace, want to kill Jews, fly the swastika and commit acts of horrific terrorism is not being 'pro-Palestinian'. Nor does being 'pro-Palestinian' mean you align with those who teach their children to hate.
The normal Palestinian does not need you to support BDS, nor align with the extremists of Hamas. I spent years working with Palestinians and their lives are not bettered when you buy into lies. Extremists are trying to make everything worse - that isn't 'pro-Palestinian' at all
Some people do not want the conflict to end, nor do they want a peace deal to be signed. Spreading lies about 'ethnic cleansing', 'Apartheid' and 'Genocide' is not 'pro-Palestinian'. Anti-Israel activists cannot tell you the truth because the truth does not support them at all.
So the next time someone tells you they are 'pro-Palestinian' think about what they are doing. Think about the hate that drives them, the lies they push and who they align with. You'll see that the term 'pro-Palestinian' is probably the most misused term in the English Language.
