(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - The smug sea-farers of the Gaza flotilla pose as peace activists, like Mother Teresa in a keffiyeh. Yet behind the humanitarian pantomime there lurks a brutish neo-colonial urge to rally the mighty nations of the West against the uppity little state of Israel. I don't want anything to happen to the people on these boats. It is not a crime to be an incalculably vain white savior so high on your own sanctimony that you have convinced yourself you can stop a war. Yet if Israel views this flotilla as a problem, can we blame it? It is a rancid double standard so typical of Israelophobia to expect Israel and Israel alone to be chill about such a conceited incursion into its sovereign territory. Israelophobia, the fashionable rage of the activist class, dresses itself up as "anti-war" but it positively pulsates with a warlike loathing for one tiny nation. This isn't peace activism - it's a moralistic crusade fueled by a rank Western chauvinism that views Israel as an uncivilized blot on our planet. 2025-10-05 00:00:00Full Article
