The World is Freaking Out Because Its Favorite Victims Suddenly Became Human Butchers<\/a>.<\/p>\n October 7 was so horrific it threatened to ambush the Palestinian cause. So they did what people have done for centuries: They changed the subject and blamed the Jews. That always works.<\/p>\n What do you do when a cause you deeply cherish betrays you?<\/p>\n What do you do when you spend a lifetime fighting for the Palestinian cause, and then, overnight, it becomes associated with the butchering, beheading, raping and mutilating of 1400 people, including\u00a0 infants, babies, women, rave dancers, families and the elderly?<\/p>\n How do you spin\u00a0that<\/em>?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You might try to deny and downplay, but with all the graphic and gruesome videos out there, that\u2019s not easy. And as much as you\u2019d love to erase the word Palestinian next to the word Hamas, you know the connection is a fact.<\/p>\n No, the only real option is to make so much noise that you drown out the horrible news about the mass murder of Jews.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why immediately after October 7, we saw global protests against Israel and in support of Palestinians. This was\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0Israel launched its counterattacks. And naturally, when Israel did go after Hamas, the attacks against Jews have only accelerated. On streets around the world and across college campuses, Jew haters are now out in full force. The slaughtering of 1400 Jews is all but forgotten; now it\u2019s all about Israel\u2019s\u00a0reaction<\/em>\u00a0to the massacres.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s the media jumping to (falsely) blame Israel for the bombing of a Gaza hospital, or the global cries for a \u201cceasefire\u201d before Israel has even entered Gaza to eliminate the terrorists and deter future attacks, the world is doing all it can to downplay the narrative of \u201cPalestinians as butchers.\u201d<\/p>\n The world\u2019s most popular victims, after all, cannot be allowed to be butchers.<\/p>\n For half a century, Palestinians have managed to charm the global elite with the seductive narrative of glorious, helpless victimhood. In a world that worships the oppressed, especially when they\u2019re not white or western,\u00a0 Palestinians became the forever oppressed.<\/p>\n The influential Palestinian scholar-activist Edward Said\u2019s 1978 book, \u201cOrientalism,\u201d which portrayed the West\u2019s view of the East as demeaning and ignorant, helped shape and popularize the Palestinian narrative. As a revisionist movement began to associate the West strictly with the sins of colonialism, imperialism, racism and capitalist abuse, Palestinians became the Swiss army knife of causes for the virtue signaling set. Accurate or not, they had it all.<\/p>\n Amazingly, Palestinians have managed to hold on to their elite victim status despite decades of terror attacks against Israel. No matter how many Jews they killed, victimhood has defined them. You could have millions of genocide victims somewhere in Africa, or millions of oppressed slaves in China, or millions of refugees in Syria\u2013 no group of victims has been able to dislodge the Palestinians from the top of the victim food chain.<\/p>\n Of course, the Palestinians have always had an ace in the hole: the Jews. As long as their enemy was Jewish, Palestinians knew they would continue to have the world\u2019s undivided attention. Have you noticed that we rarely hear about those millions of other Palestinians who live in much worse conditions in Jordan and Lebanon? Why should we? There are no Jews involved.<\/p>\n The world\u2019s oldest hatred, in short, has fueled the remarkable run of the world\u2019s most coddled victims.<\/p>\n October 7 introduced 1400 complications.<\/p>\n Suddenly, for one gruesome day, Jews were the oppressed and Palestinians were the oppressors. This was no garden variety Palestinian attack where a few Jews get killed, or a few hundred Hamas rockets are neutralized by Iron Dome and bomb shelters. We\u2019ve gotten used to those. No, this was the mass slaughter of Jews by Palestinians in the most barbaric way possible. This was evil in concentrated form.<\/p>\n Put it this way: In Israel, when one Jew dies from a terror attack, the whole nation mourns that one life.<\/p>\n Now go to October 7 and do the math.<\/p>\n October 7 has become the biggest wake-up call in modern Jewish history because the level of horror reached unimaginable proportions. It\u2019s the worse of the worse of the worse. It\u2019s impossible to find words in the English dictionary that would go too far to describe the horrors.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I\u2019ve seen Jews from the left who usually instinctively take the Palestinian side go eerily quiet. Like many of us, they\u2019re numb. They\u2019re dizzy. They\u2019re disgusted. As a friend says, it\u2019s Jewish primordial rage.<\/p>\n Fox News war correspondent Trey Yingst was so repulsed by a video of the bloodbath he couldn\u2019t share details with the audience.<\/p>\n The furious backlash we\u2019ve seen against university presidents, Hollywood celebrities, politicians and many others, including Jews, who have failed to unequivocally condemn the atrocities of October 7, or, worse, joined the anti-Israel brigades, is due precisely to the unspeakable nature of the atrocities.<\/p>\n How could any human being\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0condemn the ghoulish, intentional slaughtering of 1400 human beings? The need to even ask that question is why so many Jews these days have such a short fuse.<\/p>\n Indeed, October 7 was so horrific it threatened to ambush the Palestinian cause itself. These activists are not stupid. They\u2019ve seen the videos. They know what happened. Because the savagery was done in the name of Palestinians, they saw the danger that their cherished cause could be forever contaminated.<\/p>\n So what did they do to save the world\u2019s most popular victims? They did what people have done for centuries: They changed the subject and blamed the Jews.
