Gaza Is a Springboard for Anti-American Activism
(Commentary) Seth Mandel - The activist class in the West needs the flame of Gaza to burn in perpetuity because it powers a global anti-West and anti-democratic movement that has nothing to do with the Palestinians. A perfect demonstration of this was the People's Conference for Palestine in Detroit on Aug. 29-31, where conference speakers were crystal clear that Gaza is a mere springboard to anti-American and anti-Western activism. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib thundered against "the decaying halls of the empire in Washington, D.C." No one in Gaza is going to be helped by a U.S. congresswoman promoting the collapse of her own country. Sachin Peddada, a research coordinator at Progressive International, said, "the state of Israel is a carbon copy of the United States. Therefore, the thing to do is to destroy the idea of America in Americans' heads."
