"The pro-Palestine movement is ... the tip of the spear for a movement that’s coming for us from within."


"And then there’s the ... useful idiots, almost exclusively from the political left. These are people who probably know very little about the particulars of the conflict. Various videos have exposed that. Students in the US, for example, were asked which sea was being referred to in the chant, ‘From the river to the sea.’ Answers varied from the Caribbean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.
    "In another example, protesters were asked on video about how they felt when Hamas launched their attack on 7 October. And their response was: ‘When Hamas did what?’ These are people who see heartbreaking images of Palestinian suffering on TV and think that the Jews must be to blame.   
"[A]pologism for Hamas been so common on the political left [because w]hen it comes to the bigger picture, it’s all part of a movement that’s undermining [Western liberal society] from within. 
    "The Palestinian protesters don’t just protest about Palestine, after all. The hardcore among them also protest in favour of Black Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil. They belong to a ‘progressive’ worldview that’s antithetical towards the values of liberalism, tolerance and free speech ... on which our society is built. Fundamentally, this isn’t just about Jews – they are simply the first in the firing line. The trajectory is to take down Western liberal society. And that’s what the pro-Palestine movement has functioned as recently. It’s acted as the tip of the spear for a movement that’s coming for us from within."
~ Jake Wallis Simons, from his interview 'The left has become Hamas’s useful idiots'
