The Palestinian movement is fundamentally compromised. After October 7, it was imperative that as many Palestinians as possible denounce Hamas to make it clear that Hamas doesn’t represent them.
Unfortunately this didn’t happen. Sure a few people here and there said a few words against what Hamas did. But it’s not the consensus among pro-Palestinian groups that what Hamas did was wrong.
This means that Hamas is currently inseparable from the Palestinian movement. Which means the Palestinian movement is not a non-violent resistance movement. At almost every protest you can see people cosplaying as Hamas. There are some even saying October 7 was justified. It is a violent movement which tolerates genocide, as long as it’s their side doing the genocide.
The Palestinian movement simply doesn’t have the moral high ground. It’s now mostly about rationalizing why the genocide that occurred on October 7 was justified by claiming Israel is committing genocide and using “both sides” style logic. If both sides were actually committing genocide then a rational person wouldn’t support either side. But we see pro Palestinian groups rationalizing the genocide Hamas committed which makes their false claims of Israel committing genocide a moot point. Even if Israel were committing genocide it doesn’t make the nature of the present day Palestinian movement any better because Hamas committed genocide and Palestinians are unwilling to abandon Hamas.
It’s largely a hate movement now. Hatred makes people feel strong, but in reality it just makes people stupid. It’s why these movements ultimately fail. Too blinded by hatred to to make rational decisions about what’s in the movement’s best interests. Do you think the movement becoming more antisemitic every day is going to make it successful? Do you think denying the antisemitism will convince anyone outside this group? Nope. Stupid things are being done in hatred by the Palestinian movement right now.
And that’s why the Palestinian movement will fail. Too much hatred making people act stupid. Even if there were a Palestinian state tomorrow it would be a failed state. Too much hatred and therefore too much stupidity to make things work.
I hope someday Palestinians can see what their hatred is doing to them. Then a Palestinian state could work. But I don’t have much hope that it will happen in this generation. It doesn’t matter if the hatred is justified or not. Hatred will always make people stupid and stupidity will always result in failure.

Please listen to the victims of the genocide.
