Palestinian media: Jews promote the myth of Jewish supremacy - by promoting the myth of Jewish victimhood. Huh?

The idea of victimhood as a virtue has only taken hold in the past half century or so. For most of world history, no one wanted to be seen as victims; now everyone is fighting over the honor of being the most oppressed people because, in this bizarre worldview, being oppressed is the surest sign of moral superiority.

Naturally, Palestinians have taken to this viewpoint like flies to rotten meat. They have positioned themselves as the worst victims in the history of history, and of course their oppressors the Jews are the worst victimizers in the world since the dinosaurs.

A new article in Al Quds al Arabi, against the Abraham Accords, manages to contradict itself in only two sentences;

The UAE-Israeli normalization represents a model embodying a Zionist vision of so-called “economic peace” with neighboring countries, aimed at bypassing the Palestinian issue, consolidating Israeli hegemony in the region, and expanding its global influence. The Zionist dream has always been more than just establishing a state for the Jews. The call for a Jewish nation-state was a means of reviving a forgotten history and penetrating the national liberation movements that arose from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire during its disintegration. With this return to the flow of history, the Zionist dream was to recreate the myth of the superior Jew. While the revival of this myth aimed at influence and control, the path to achieving it lay in creating the myth of the “Jewish victim,” which developed during a period of turbulent relations between Jews and the societies of Russia and Eastern Europe since before World War I, culminating in the great clash under Nazi Germany.

Projection explains so much of the Palestinian mentality. Jews don't want to be victims; being pitied has never gotten them anywhere. But the current victimhood cult that Palestinians have adopted means that they cannot tell the difference between victimhood and winning. Victimhood is victory!

That's how the two "myths" that Palestinians believe Jews believe can co-exist. Jews neither made up the "myth" of being victims nor do Jews think of themselves as superior. Palestinians believe Jews simultaneously push both contradictory myths.

According to this viewpoint, Jews made up the entire history of being persecuted in order to gain a state where they can persecute others.

The only way to reconcile the two is to understand how much Palestinians try to own the very idea of victimhood: This only makes sense if it is the Palestinian playbook! They want to leverage victimhood into becoming a nation that can treat Jews like second class citizens, at best, if not one to put them on boats to Europe.

There really are two myths - that Palestinians are systematically persecuted by Jews, and that they ever wanted a state that would be side by side with Israel. None of those were ever true, and in this case both myths do work together - the first myth is intended to make the second myth of a Palestinian state to replace Israel come true.

And they are counting on the world canonizing them as the most persecuted people in history, to reward them with a state whose only purpose has only been to destroy the Jewish state.
