Are the pro-Palestinian crowds angry in streets morally obtuse ?
The mainstream news media's slant on the pro-Palestinian crowds angry in the streets is that they are somehow morally obtuse. Here we see the oppressors preaching right conduct to both the oppressed and the supporters of the oppressed. American imperialism and Israeli Zionism offer the example of Martin Luther King to suffering wretches of APARTHEID Israel!
For nearly two centuries Marxist revolutionaries have preached SOLIDARITY with the oppressed. Whatever the state of their leadership - for example , if guilty of over the top terrorism ,this is always an internal affair, no excuse to go over to the class enemy. Real revolutionaries always distinguish between the oppressors and the oppressed.
No accident that BOTH Martin Luther King and the more " dangerous " Malcolm X were assassinated by ruling class intrigue.
Bourgeois philistine journalists have been quite indifferent to the plight of the oppressed Palestinians for years. Always slobbering over " our special relationship with Israel ". When mass frustration produces terrorist leaders the CLASS ENEMY preachers of " morality " and " compromise " become more unctuously eloquent. Supporters of the Palestinian struggle must be EVIL themselves , even pro-Holocaust !
The great Russian revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky explained this view very well in an essay titled " Their Morals and Ours ". There could be no concessions to the hypocritical moral ideology of the ruling class. The CLASS STRUGGLE in capitalist society dictates its own morality.
