The World's Favorite Victims Suddenly Became Human Butchers
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) David Suissa - What do you do when you spend a lifetime fighting for the Palestinian cause, and then, overnight, they become associated with the butchering, beheading, raping and mutilating of 1400 people, including infants, babies, women, rave dancers, families and the elderly? How do you spin that? For half a century, Palestinians have managed to charm the global elite with the seductive narrative of glorious, helpless victimhood. They became the forever oppressed. 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 in Africa, or millions of oppressed in China, or millions of refugees in Syria - it doesn't matter: no group of victims has been able to dislodge the Palestinians from the top of the victim food chain. Have you noticed that we rarely hear about Palestinian refugees who live in much worse conditions in Jordan and Lebanon? Why should we? There are no Jews involved. October 7 introduced 1400 complications. Suddenly, Jews were the oppressed and Palestinians the oppressors. October 7 was so horrific that it threatened to ambush the Palestinian cause.
