Essay:Dear Liberals: When Did "Free Tibet" Become "Free Palestine?"

This essay is an original work. Please comment only on the talk page.

When did, "Free Tibet," become, "Free Palestine," liberals? It seems to me that the only liberal who continues to advocate for Tibetan independence is Lisa Simpson.

When did liberals start supporting blatant anti-Semitism, a fictional entity, and the destruction of the State of Israel, the only Jewish State? Why do we no longer hear calls by liberals for the Communist, authoritarian government of China to end the occupation of Tibet? What happened to calls for justice for the estranged Dalai Lama?

Now they scream a slogan and support a movement which is also supported by neo-Nazis like the Aryan Guard, and Islamic terrorists like Hamas. Why? What happened?

The liberals of the 2010s are not the same liberals as those of the 1990s. Perhaps compassion and intersectionality have gone too far. And leftists have started to dominate, rather than run-of-the-mill classical liberals.

According to the progressive Left, Islamists are much more marginalized than Jews (even though the situation is in fact exactly the opposite of this), and "Palestinians" are not only more marginalized than, but are "oppressed" by Israelis. Progressive leftists also associate Israelis with Jews, which is a common anti-Semitic trope hand-in-hand with the "dual loyalty" canard.

Dear liberals, stop with the anti-Semitic scapegoats, canards, and anti-Zionism. Return to advocating for Tibetan independence, which is a cause we can all support. Say what you want about Bill Maher, at least he opposes Islam and "Palestinian" terrorists.
