I understand supporting Palestinians as a reaction to Jews always championing minorities against the European majority but much of the anti Zionist right wing rhetoric I see comes across like the same type of altruism for foreign people we see from white Leftists.

There is nothing wrong with sympathizing with other groups of people. The problem is when this altruism is weaponized into hating yourself and acting against your own interests, as it has been done by so many "fellow whites" on what now passes for the left.

The propaganda used against the Palestinians is similar to what is used against whites, and its spread by many of the same people. Just look at media coverage of these recent events there and you see the same gaslighting.

When I looked at a newsfeed the first thing I saw was a headline from a mainstream "news" organization that said 'Hamas bombs Israel: 20 people killed, including 9 children in Israel'. That headline was literally fake news, Israel were the ones who bombed the Palestinians and killed 20 people, including the 9 children. Another headline read 'the death toll mounts on both sides as rockets rain down on Israel'. The mounting death toll was almost exclusively on the Palestinian side, and the whole mess was clearly set off by the Israelis who pointlessly physically attacked Palestinians in their own place of worship.

I dont have to agree with the Palestinians on everything to point out that what the media does to them on this issue is basically the same thing they have now been doing to people they've targeted in America and the broader west. It's part of a long pattern that goes back way before the media manufactured 'capital insurrection', or 'mostly peaceful protests', or 'Iraqi WMD'.

exactly, not all altruism is pathological, no one who supports the Palestinians (on our side) wants them to mass migrate, reparations, or given a privileged status in European countries. Defending a people who are being systematically replaced and wanting UNESCO world heritage sites to not be destroyed is moral.

I searched up the Al-Asqa mosque attack and US capitol protests and they describe the US capitol protestors (more commonly called the US capitol riot, insurrection, coup d'etat, siege, and the storming against "the house of sacred democracy") with much more vehemence, it just sounds like a force of nature that Al-Asqa was burning, a behavior we associate with ISIS.
