The next time you encounter someone who says they are pro-Palestinian and that their group supports peace, ask them to answer one of these questions:
1. Should Palestinians, if they want, become citizens of Arab countries they have been residing in? Or must they remain stateless until they have a "right of return" to Israel?
For seven decades, Arabs have been resisting implementing UN conventions against statelessness with the very poor excuse that Palestinians want to remain stateless until they "return." This is clearly not true because every time some have had the opportunity to become citizens - of Egypt, Lebanon or Jordan - they flocked to take advantage of it.
If you don't support Palestinians becoming citizens of the lands they were born in, you aren't pro-Palestinian. You simply want to use them as pawns to help destroy Israel.
2. What have you done to fight Palestinian laws that discriminate against women or gays, or that prohibit free speech?
There are many NGOs and activist groups that pretend to care about Palestinian rights, but when those rights are being withheld by the Palestinian leadership itself, suddenly Palestinian rights aren't so important. When have they held vigils against the significant human rights violations of Hamas or the Palestinian Authority? They never have - only against Israel.
3. Do you support peace between Israel and Arab states independent of the Palestinian issue?
Many of these groups have the word "peace" in their names. Israel has improved its relations with many Arab and Muslim-majority states in recent years. Is this something they celebrate or oppose?
Every time these people are cornered into exposing their hate, see how fast they try to fall back to "whataboutism."
Because they know they are hypocrites.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
