Unfortunately the occurence of double standards has multiplied, even in Europe. I came up with the following explanation straight from the Woke ideology. Since 1964, the birth of the PLO, the muslim narrative has successfully presented the « Palestinians » as the victims of the colonizing by the West. And victims are necessary good people that deserve your sympathy and your help. It is a good cause to fight for. According to this narrative, Hamas fight is a fight for national liberation. and those who take their defence in the West are necessarily « good people » on the right side of history. So even if they transgress the laws, it is for a good cause and they should be forgiven . I believe this is why there is a double standard . It is the eternal epitomizing of the opposition between the laws and the ethics.

The PLO in 1964 already called for the « liberation of Palestine ». But what did they mean? At the time, there were no « territories occupied by Israel ». There was just tiny Israel. Cisjordania had been swalled in 1948 by Jordania and Gaza by Egypt. Clearly then , the only « liberation » they possibly could have in mind was the liberation from the presence of the minuscule Israel that had been granted 22000 km2 from its historical homeland by the international community.

This massive misunderstanding of the nature of the war waged by Hamas against Israel is one of the reasons why Hamas has attracted sympathy around the world expressed by tsunamis of hatred against the jews, epitomizing as usual the evil in the world , and in this case the colonizing evil. But this war is fundamentally the war of Iran on the West and the war in Gaza is just the top of this hidden iceberg, which aims at islamisation of our democracies by force. Hamas leaders clearly say so. They clearly say they are not interested in a two states solution. They want to eradicate Israel from the map and all Iran’s leaders have clearly said so, before turning against the democratic societies. The real question is why nobody listen to what they say ?
