The Palestinian Cause and Its Place in The Leftist-Islamist Alliance

The Palestinian terrorist cause is a central issue where leftists and Islamists are united. Islamists hate Israel because, not only is it a non-Muslim state [Islamists seek to subjugate the non-Muslim world to their form of Islam], but it’s also a non-Muslim state on the lands of Islam [to radical Muslims, that's land that at least was under Islamic rule before in history like Spain and land that, to the Islamists, therefore can't go back to being under non-Muslim rule], and to Islamists, it’s also an outpost of Dar al-Harb [House of War] right in Dar al-Islam [House of Islam]. Radical Muslims view Dar al-Harb as land currently under non-Muslim control and Dar al-Islam to be land currently under Muslim control. Islamists hate the US because it promotes the antithesis of radical Islam. The US seeks to spread freedom and democracy around the world [that is until after Obama was elected since he seeks to appease dictators and terrorists]. To radical Muslims, America’s society is sinful to Allah and Israel is a base of America and the west in spreading what’s sinful to Allah. Radical Muslims view the war on terror as a war on Islam and see Israel as a base in what they see as the war on Islam. To radical Muslims, Israel is a base in spreading what they see as sinful to Allah to the Muslim world and believe that it is their duty to spread “true” Islam around the world. Radical Muslims view American society as the antithesis to Allah’s principles.

Leftists also hate Israel because they hate everything America stands for. To leftists, America is full of Capitalist exploitation. Until Obama was elected, America spread Capitalism, which leftists see as exploiting the workers. Leftists attack corporations, which they see as Capitalists exploiting the working class. Since Israel is an ally of America, leftists hate Israel. Leftists also support the Palestinian cause because Palestinian terrorists managed to twist the Arab-Israeli conflict on its head. Palestinian terrorists managed to portray the conflict where Israel is not the victim of a genocidal war of extermination, but where the Palestinians are fighting a war of national liberation against the “illegal” and “brutal” Israeli “occupiers” that are backed by the left’s hated enemy America. In fact, according to David Meir Levi, it was Communists who trained Arafat to portray his terror war on Israel, not as a genocidal war of extermination, but as a war of national liberation against the “brutal” and “illegal” Israeli “occupiers”. David Meir Levi documented that it was North Vietnamese, the Soviets, as well as the Algerians, that told Arafat to reinvent the conflict where Israel is the bad guy and where the Palestinians are innocent victims who are courageously fighting for their land that Israel “stole” from them. Also, Yasser Arafat and the PLO were useful instruments of the Soviet Union. The PLO formed close ties with and trained many left-wing revolutionary terrorist groups including the Rad Army Faction [RAF] and the Sandinistas, the latter of which leftists seek to portray as innocent victims of US “aggression”. The PLO was a useful instrument of the Soviet Union in the USSR’s war to bring down the democratic west. The PLO terror attacks included not just terrorist attacks on Jews and Israelis, but also terrorist attacks on Americans like on the US ambassador to Sudan Cleo Noel. The terrorists who killed him just acted on Arafat’s orders. It’s well-known that the Arab League created the PLO in 1964 [three years before Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Six Day War]. But according to Ion Mahai Pacepa [as mentioned in the source of the first hyperlink of the column], the Soviets created the PLO as another instrument in fighting the west, at a time when the Soviets created “national liberation” movements. Communists were good at twisting conflicts around where they’re portrayed as the victims like in the Vietnam war and in Latin America. In the Vietnam War, North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam. Yet they managed to get many “progressives” in the west to be eating out of their hands. Same is true about Latin America, where Castro, Che Guevara and the Sandinistas are portrayed as heroes who fought for the poor while America is portrayed as the big bad guy.
