“78 years of ongoing Nakba,” declared the “State of Palestine” on X, along with a video presumably meant to illustrate that nakba—the narrative that portrays Israel’s establishment as a “catastrophe” that depended on Palestinians’ “erasure” by Israeli “occupiers.” The problem? It was full of lies.
It’s extremely dispiriting that, with all Max Hastings’ erudition, he nonetheless succumbed to mind-numbingly banal cliches and ahistorical arguments about the root cause of violence and instability in the Middle East.
Anti-Israel activists call for a “globalized intifada.” But what exactly is an intifada?
It’s not complicated. It’s history. Intifadas are terror campaigns targeting civilians, and calls to “globalize the intifada” fuel attacks against Jews around the globe.
