Anti-Hamas protests erupt in Gaza. Where are our pro-Palestine ‘allies’ now? | Opinion.

…Last week’s protests were a watershed moment for Gazans, when so many in Gaza finally understood the true meaning of fake solidarity ‒ that to the Western “pro-Palestine” movement, Palestinians are not seen as real people with real struggles but as tools to be used in their ideological battles.

Not only were the protests ignored by “allies” in the West, but so were the lives of the protesters and all they represent.

Hamas wasted no time in going after the leaders of the protests, threatening, torturing and even killing them. The family of Oday Nasser Al Rabay, 22, says the protester was tortured to death by Hamas simply for demanding a free Gaza ‒ free from Hamas and free from war.

Where was the outrage from the “pro-Palestine movement” activists? Where were the protests in Western capitals for Oday? Nowhere. Because he did not fit into their ideological framework because his killing was not useful and too inconvenient to their narrative.

Meanwhile, when a protester with a distinctly different profile ‒ Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student ‒ finds himself detained in the United States, the pro-Palestinian activists who claim to advocate for the oppressed wasted no time in flooding Western streets with protests calling for his release. His arrest became an emblem of resistance, sparking global campaigns to bring him home.

But what about the young Palestinian from Gaza who, without the protection of international institutions, was tortured to death for his dissent? Oday was left to rot in obscurity, his brutal murder by Hamas nothing more than an inconvenient fact for the same movement that fervently defended Mahmoud.

This stark contrast is not only a failure of solidarity ‒ it’s also an indictment of the hollow, opportunistic nature of the so-called pro-Palestine movement. Mahmoud, a student in the West, was elevated to the status of martyr. Oday, a young man from Gaza, was left to die at the hands of the very regime that Western allies refuse to confront. The hypocrisy is staggering.

If this is the solidarity these “allies” offer, then it is an insult to the struggle for justice, an empty gesture that does nothing to advance the cause of true liberation.

A Palestinian’s Brutal Murder in Gaza.
Deafening silence on America’s college campuses.

A Palestinian’s brutal murder in Gaza will prompt no campus protests in America.  Why?  Because Hamas committed the murder.  America’s pro-Hamas heroes will, therefore, ignore it because it doesn’t fit their anti-Israel agenda.

Though you would not know from the establishment media’s comparative lack of coverage, there have been recent anti-Hamas protests by Palestinians in Gaza.  Of course, despite exemplifying resistance to oppressive rule and repressive force, these do not fit the one-sided narrative on the situation there.

Among the unreported heroes of this true Palestinian resistance was Oday Nasser Al Rabay.  He was just 22 years old, roughly the same age as those who populate the so-called pro-Palestinian protests on America’s elite college campuses.

Al Rabay’s offense was attending one of the growing numbers of an anti-Hamas rallies in Gaza.  For it, he was tortured for four hours, beaten to death, and then, with a rope around his body’s neck, his corpse was dragged back to the door of his family’s house.  Said an officer of Gaza’s opposition Fatah party; his family was told, “This is the punishment for those who complain about Hamas.”

There are stark contrasts between this sickening event in Gaza and what will be a nonevent on America’s elite college campuses.

Dozens attended Al Rabay’s funeral. They shouted, “Hamas out!”  Don’t expect similar protests on elite college campuses like Columbia or Harvard (where the administration is reviewing billions in federal funding over anti-Semitism claims). America will do the same.  In Gaza, Hamas is losing support, just as it is losing the war it brought on Gaza with its terrorism.  On America’s elite college campuses, support for Hamas is seemingly as strong as ever. There, Hamas tortures a young man to death to intimidate others, not to oppose its oppression.  Here, protestors tear up their college diplomas in a courage-less, costless display.  There, a real martyr died; here, protestors fight the extradition of anti-Semites that they would make into martyrs.

America should force itself to look at the death of this young Palestinian man at the bloody hands of Hamas; it should also reexamine what it sees all too often on its elite college campuses.

America should see Hamas for what it is, what it was, and what it ever will be: Terrorists.

Hamas subjects to terror all unfortunate enough to come into contact with it—Palestinians, Israelis, Al Rabay.  For now, approaching two years, it still holds Israeli hostages. It parades the bodies of dead hostages. It embeds its terrorists among Palestinian civilians. In indiscriminate terrorist attacks, it fires homemade rockets into Israel, rockets that often fall equally indiscriminately among Palestinians. It is willing to fight to the last Palestinian in hopes of killing another Israeli.

America should see the anti-Israeli protests on elite college campuses for what they are. Naked anti-Semitism. To call these protestors who will ignore Al Rabay’s death “hypocrites” is too generous. They are ideologues of the Left. Warped by an ideology of hate, they ignore what doesn’t fit their framework of oppression. They do because they are not opposed to oppression; they are only opposed to those they deem to be oppressors. Suppose the action does not come from those they deem oppressors. In that case, it is not oppression—despite it being perpetrated against the same group (a Palestinian man) under horrific circumstances (torture).
