Is Far-Left Support Leading the Palestinian Cause Astray?

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants infiltrated Israel from Gaza, leading to the deaths of over a thousand Israelis and the abduction of more than 200 individuals. This marked the most heinous attack on Jews since the Holocaust. In the aftermath, far-left social justice factions organized demonstrations advocating for the "Palestinian cause," echoing phrases calling for the dissolution of Israel. Black Lives Matter endorsed “Palestine” online, while some academics controversially equated Hamas’s actions with historic uprisings, revealing a troubling romanticization of violence in their narratives.
