How Elias Rodriguez Gave the Game Away by Yelling ‘Free Palestine’

These fanatics don’t care about freeing Palestine, they want to kill Jews, which is just what this evil person did.

David Suissa writes at Jewish Journal:

How Elias Rodriguez Exposed the Hoax of “Free Palestine”Elias Rodriguez could have yelled words like “genocide” and “apartheid” after he murdered two young Israelis in Washington last week. Instead, he uttered the “Free, free Palestine” chant that has inundated college campuses and city streets since the Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023.Why did he go for “free Palestine” rather than more lethal accusations? After all, if he was hoping to justify his monstrous act, shouldn’t he try to make Israel look like a genocidal monster?“Free Palestine” does none of that, but it may be more lethal.We can use facts to debunk libelous claims like “genocide” and “apartheid.” Debunking “free Palestine,” however, is more difficult because it’s emotional and sounds reasonable. Who doesn’t deserve freedom?“Free Palestine” gives a patina of nobility to a movement driven not by liberating Palestinians but by annihilating the Jewish state. That’s precisely why if we must debunk anything in the defense of Israel, “free Palestine” should be on top of the list.The anti-Israel DNA among Israel’s neighbors has been around for a long time. Years before anyone heard of an occupation, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin had this to say in a 1947 speech:“For the Jews, the principle was the creation of a sovereign Jewish state. For the Arabs, the principle was to resist, to the last, the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine.”
