The “Free Palestine” movement isn’t a moral crusade. It’s a demoralization campaign - and it’s working brilliantly. What started as « woke » on the fringes of radical politics has crept into the mainstream, powered by Qatari money, Soviet-era tactics, and a sea of credulous activists who can chant slogans but couldn’t pass a basic history quiz if their lives depended on it. Let’s be honest: the movement thrives not on facts, but on ignorance dressed up as virtue. The useful idiots - well-meaning but uninformed - have become the perfect foot soldiers. Trans activists, climate campaigners, BLM organizers, students with $80k gender studies degrees… all proudly waving flags for a cause they don’t remotely understand. They chant “from the river to the sea” with the zeal of revolutionaries, unaware they’re echoing the slogans of Islamist theocrats who would strip them of every right they claim to defend. It’s almost comedic: they shout about “decolonization” while backing a movement funded by an Islamist colonial power, parroting lies that collapse under the weight of a single decent history book. The Arab migration to the area took place largely under Ottoman and British colonial rule - not some mythical ancient indigeneity. Meanwhile, Palestinians themselves say one thing to Western audiences (“liberation, human rights”) and something very different to their own (“jihad, annihilation”). The fact that Western activists can’t be bothered to check primary sources - or even notice Hamas’s own charter - is proof of how slogans have replaced thinking. This isn’t a coincidence. The PLO was born as a KGB destabilization tool, designed to weaken pro-Western Arab states like Jordan and Lebanon and turn anti-Zionism into a revolutionary export. Soviet archives and defectors like Vasili Mitrokhin exposed how Palestinian factions were trained, armed, and politically shaped by Moscow. That same playbook - destabilize, divide, demoralize - is now being executed in the West, with hashtags instead of Kalashnikovs. And the results are unmistakable: Wherever this movement takes root, you see riots, violence, flag burnings, antisemitism, and attacks on free speech - not “dialogue” or “justice.” It’s a terror-supporting revolutionary movement, not a civil rights campaign. And every time a government rewards it - by recognizing a Palestinian state or indulging the lies - it feeds a beast designed to erode Judeo-Christian values, fracture democratic societies, and undermine the West from within. The saddest part? Many of these activists truly believe they’re “doing good.” In reality, they’re being used - not to build a better world, but to advance the goals of regimes and movements that laugh at their naivety. They’re not liberators; they’re pawns. Just like the same leftists were when the Islamist ayatollahs regime took over Iran, and executed the same activists supporting it. This is why governments must stop treating this as a benign moral cause and start recognizing it as a strategic threat. Because appeasing a movement built on lies, historical amnesia, and ideological manipulation doesn’t bring peace. It brings rot and eventually demise. teapawt.net/destinationXIX/status/…
