Connor on Israel

 

Connor Tomlinson describes himself as a "reactionary Catholic zoomer" and used to be one of the Lotus Eaters. He has since set up his own independent channel and has made some excellent videos that show a lot of awareness and wisdom for somebody of such tender years. He is also not scared to break through conventions and there are a lot of conventions in the alternative world; and most of all they apply to the Israel vs Palestine conflict. This binary universal division is very difficult to divert. It's a bit like being in Merseyside when Liverpool and Everton are in the FA Cup final; "whose side are you on!?" On the political spectrum support for Israel covers the entire centre ground while the far left is generally pro-Palestine. I know this doesn't count for every country, but in Britain there is a distinct element of the extreme ethnonationalist right who are also Palestinian supporters. Connor beats his own unique path through this controversy. He feels neither fawning admiration for Israel as "the forefront of the battle between civilization and barbarism!" nor hostility to the "Zionist internationalist lobbyists!" He rightly points out a double standard within Israeli politics, that they seem oblivious to the migration crisis in Europe while understanding the necessity to maintain the ethnic prominence of their own citizenship. There are even prominent Israeli politicians who advocate for Gaza war refugees to be relocated to Britain. Why shouldn't we British and other European nations simply desire the same thing Israel has? It's terrible hypocrisy. Some believe that complete ultra-liberalism among the gentiles and the abolition of all our national identities is the only way to stop Jews being persecuted. This, you might think, is a very cynical and misanthropic vision of the non-Jewish world; and deeply unfair, not to mention harmful. I certainly do. There are situations when Jews have indeed been oppressed, such as in Nazi Germany and the Russian Empire, but it is not a global rule. What's more, as Connor says, this will naturally only breed more resentment against the Jewish world. By changing their position and accepting that all people have the same right as Israel, this will heal this bitterness and conflict. It is totally in Israel's interest to take his advice.

Personally I don't know what the right and wrongs of the Israel-Palestine conflict are and I know that if I expressed an opinion to the wrong ears they would simply tell me I'm not qualified to comment because of A, B and C. I feel a lot of sympathy for the innocent people in both Israel and Gaza who are caught up in this. I see both Hamas and the Netanyahu regime as enemies of their nation and people. It's good to see thinkers seeing through the "mainstream alternative" the way Connor has. He seems curious, intelligent and open-minded enough to work his way out of more moral mazes in which the rest of the dissident community are currently lost. Hopefully he'll show them how to find the exit.
