Hijacking Solidarity: Antisemites Exploit Ukraine’s Suffering

Totally shameless. The Jew-hating and antisemitic Left never saw a crisis that it did not hijack to attack the Jews. According to the pro-Israel advocacy group “Stand with Us” online antisemitic content has increased by 1280% since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Watch below.

Hijacking Solidarity: anti-Israel activists exploit Ukraine’s suffering

The international community has expressed overwhelming support for Ukraine, however, radical anti-Israel activists saw fit to seize the poignant show of solidarity to target Israel instead

By Jerusalem Post, March 9, 2022

The onslaught launched by Russia against Ukraine intensified in recent days when President Vladimir Putin began redirecting the assault towards highly populated cities, killing hundreds of innocent civilians and displacing over 1 million others. Though the international community has expressed overwhelming support for Ukraine, radical anti-Israel activists on social media saw fit to seize the poignant show of solidarity to target Israel instead. In doing so, they used their tried-and-true tactic of hijacking solidarity from other movements or struggles.

On Twitter, countless users flooded social media with posts decrying the world’s lack of attention to the Palestinians. For example, British rapper Lowkey lamented that Google and YouTube blocked state-owned Russian news outlets, but not Israel’s. Likewise, a post by a pseudo-anonymous account called “tala” that disparaged European countries for allegedly helping Ukrainians and not Palestinians garnered almost 13,000 retweets.

The Palestinian leadership itself addressed the issue and went so far as to claim that the “international community is being hypocritical and racist by being more sympathetic towards the Ukrainians because of their color, religion and race.”

Even more nefarious than their attempts to conjure up faux western double standards, numerous activists hitched a ride on the viral #UkraineRussiaWar hashtag to promote their propaganda by attaching it to anti-Israel content utterly unrelated to the Ukraine crisis.

The selfish yet unsurprising push to co-opt the Ukrainian struggle is the standard M.O. of anti-Israel activists who struggle with the knowledge that – heaven forbid – groups of people somewhere on the planet unrelated to the Palestinian cause can suffer tragedy.

In recent years, this cohort of activists has hijacked solidarity from several other movements, notably indigenous Native Americans, the American Black community, and Blacks who lived through apartheid in South Africa.

Needless to say, there is no legitimate comparison between Palestinians and the experiences of the above communities.

Palestinians are not victims of genocide akin to Native Americans. In fact, their population has multiplied since the establishment of Israel. Nor are they victims of an institutionalized regime of racial segregation, à la South Africa or Jim Crow America, since all differences in terms of rights granted by the Israeli government stem from differences in citizenship, not ethnicity or race. Indeed, Arab Israelis enjoy equal rights as Jewish Israelis and serve at the highest levels of the country’s parliament, government, judiciary, and military.

We may never truly understand the source of their pathological need to employ such dishonest tactics. Perhaps these activists have been so profoundly corrupted by their visceral disdain for the Jewish state that they have truly lost their moral compass.

Or maybe they know deep down that the Palestinian movement does not warrant the degree of international attention it receives, and so the only way to keep it in the headlines is to piggyback off others. After all, as Seth Frantzman of the Jerusalem Post pointed out, “the eviction of one or two families in Sheikh Jarrah compared with 300,000 Ukrainians driven from their homes in five days of fighting” do not deserve equal levels of media attention, especially considering the endless sympathetic coverage Palestinians have enjoyed for over 70 years.
