This is a really good point. As the confirmation of combatant deaths in Gaza continues to rise, as the fantasy academic papers about 100s of 1000s of dead get proved wrong, as S Africa beg for more ICJ time, their genocide narrative falls apart, so they must escalate.
Worth noting that Mehdi Hasan’s recent hate binge and rhetorical escalation are also a sign that his cause is losing its sway over the Western public and a bid for in-group cohesion. He’s had to attack Seinfeld, John Cleese, Bari Weiss, and Mark Dubowitz in the span of the last 24 hours alone to do damage control within his cohorts, which are losing steam and legitimacy. It’s incendiary and not to be taken lightly, but the doubling down seems to stem from realizing his narratives are unwinding and need defending.
