British-Palestinian journalist John Aziz posted a picture on X today. It showed a curious collage. It was obviously political, but knowing its ludicrousness he asked tongue in cheek: “What ideology is this?”

It showed a Hamas terrorist, his face hidden by a keffiyeh, finger pointing in divine lecture, over a red Communist hammer and sickle flag, decorated with an LGBTQ rainbow banner.

From what I’ve read of John on X, he’s a well-published peace advocate searching for a Two-State Solution with Israel. He’s pro-Zionist and anti-Hamas; a supporter of Israel’s response to October 7 2023 though not so much its ferocity. Yet, he recognises that Israel could not have sat still that day.

Looking at the picture, it’s clear that it is intended to play on the pro-Hamas angst seen on the streets of Europe, UK, Canada, Ireland and Australia since the terror group murdered 1,200 people in southern Israel and kidnapped 251 more.

But that’s too simple.

These marches have been a tragic joke, and that’s the clue. We’ve seen LGBTQers and white apologists joining communists and black de-colonisers, elderly socialist bourgeoisie joining TikTok teen anarchists, psychosis sufferers joining myriad narcissists, and curious law abiders joining misogynistic illegal immigrant thugs. From this circus have come the cries of Queers for Palestine, Fatties for Palestine and 12-hour hunger strikers for Palestine all of whom would be killed by Islamists if ever in Gaza.

Overtly then, this picture is an attempt at keeping antisemitism flowing on the basis of an eclectic solidarity. But that’s not an answer.

Where is the ideology this solidarity supposedly speaks? Does this picture represent anything concrete at all?

I believe it does. It’s just not what you think it might be. So, here’s the reply I gave him.

The answer

Its ideology is not Communism, Socialism, LGBTQ nor Islam. It’s not a political cause at all.

It’s mere Corruption.

It’s the ideology of a private business called Palestine Inc. It has nothing to do with a Free Palestine.

Its business model is “chaos through jihad”. Its goal is making money, and its dividend is misogyny for the male masses.

Now let’s try to refine this concept of jihad I’ve used

Today’s manifestation of jihad in the West is not “Islamic holy war” per se—though in the Hamas Covenant it indeed calls for the death of Israel, Jews and non-believers.

Rather, here it is a marketing term for “anarchy”.

It is Jihad ™, a highly manipulated fishing net for every sucker seeking “purpose through narcissism”—and in using this massive protest base incorporating: Gen “TikTok”, white “freedom fighters”, black “lives matter”, queers “for Palestine”, celebrity “has-beens” and old salt leftist “journalists” across mainstream media—it is a powerful PR tool for hiding a massive international financial rort.

That its existence comes with the UN, ICJ and NGO imprimatur is all part of its mafia. But its danger of course is that it is inherently unstable.

Its size means that this PR version of jihad can spawn actual jihad. And we’re already witnessing it in the form of Western incivility, felony, murder and acts of Islamist terror.

Narcissism—especially when indoctrinated—is a dangerous beast.

And there we have it. As contentious as Trump’s closure of USAID, for example, has been the revelation of multi-billions of dollars potentially siphoned off Palestinian aid as grift makes it impossible not to see Palestine Inc. as much of the same.

How else did a dishevelled Yasser Arafat die worth USD $4 billion? How did Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, and Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah die worth fortunes too?

How in their alleged struggles for Palestine did they manage to accumulate wealth while the banners of their communist freedom fighters flew?

The business of Palestine is the answer.

What ideology does this flag represent? The ideology of sacrificing people for money. Corruption is its single word summary. It represents crime.

A gay Imam was killed in South Africa yesterday for welcoming LGBTQ Muslims into his mosque. Make no mistake. When Palestine Inc. talks of jihad, it also means it too.
