Europeans and Western liberals want to capture the Palestinian Cause.

In today’s geopolitical landscape, it is essential to understand the real dynamics sustaining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Much is said about “anti-Zionism” in the liberal West, especially around media figures like Greta Thunberg, but little analysis is given to the actual function this discourse plays on the strategic chessboard. The reality is that Israeli Zionism and Western liberal anti-Zionism are interdependent. In practice, they feed off each other, serving as complementary elements in a logic that perpetuates the genocide in Gaza and the status quo of impunity for Israel.

The current case of the “Freedom Flotilla,” which is at this moment sailing toward the Gaza Strip, illustrates this symbiosis perfectly. Supported by Greta Thunberg — one of the main puppets of the Euro-Atlantic globalist agenda — the initiative presents itself as a humanitarian gesture intended to break the illegal siege imposed by Tel Aviv. However, the vessel is being pursued by Israeli drones, revealing the absolute contempt of Netanyahu and his cabinet for so-called peaceful initiatives and for the symbolic figures of the “progressive” West. Netanyahu, however, refuses — or at least carefully hesitates – to kill the “sailors,” after all, they are Europeans, not Palestinians.

Nevertheless, it is important to note that initiatives like this do not actually threaten the foundations of the Zionist regime. On the contrary, they provide it with the ideal alibi. Israeli Zionism is sustained not only by its war machine but also by its machinery of victimization and symbolic manipulation. Every attempt at “harmless” humanitarian protest, every Eurocentric speech about “universal values,” every well-intentioned young European activist who puts themselves forward as the face of the Palestinian cause serves, in practice, to depoliticize the resistance and prevent it from connecting with its only real path to salvation: the armed and sovereign struggle of the Iran-led Resistance Axis.

Israel knows this all too well. That is why it allows voices like Greta’s to exist. It is possible that Israel will escalate further and lose patience with its controlled opposition. The possibility that Greta and her European partners could become real targets is not just rhetorical. With Netanyahu in the throes of a messianic crusade, convinced of his own historical and moral impunity, even the death of globalist celebrities could be incorporated into strategy. The political cost would be easily turned into propaganda: a regrettable mistake, an “excess” of self-defense, a recycled narrative already widely accepted by the vassals of Washington and Brussels. Nonetheless, none of this would bring any real damage to Tel Aviv, nor would it have any impact on the genocide. Whether Greta lives or dies, whether the “Flotilla” reaches Gaza or not, everything will remain exactly the same.

In a perverse way, Zionism needs this kind of opposition: sanitized, apolitical, infantilized, sentimentalist, and functionally harmless. This is the dialectic of maintenance. European liberalism pretends to oppose Israel through symbolic initiatives that never touch the material structures of occupation or the interests that sustain them — such as the military-industrial complex and bilateral weapons and technology agreements. The ideological and spiritual foundations — the terrorist messianism and its apocalyptic cult — are also ignored. In exchange, Israel can continue its extermination campaign in Gaza, knowing it will never face a systemic break with the West.

Meanwhile, the only force that truly threatens the Zionist project is the Resistance Axis, spearheaded by Iran and now driven almost exclusively by relentless Yemeni operations. Ignored by the Western press, criminalized by European diplomacy, this political-military movement is also the largest real supplier of food, medicine, and logistical support to the besieged population of Gaza. Its convoys bear no UN seal, no celebrity tweets, but they bring effectiveness and material commitment. Tehran, alongside the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Palestinian brigades, represents the only plausible path to the collapse of Israeli colonialism.

The West, by projecting a false alternative through figures like Greta, not only infantilizes the Palestinian resistance — reduced to an abstract humanitarian appeal — but also sabotages any possibility of real rupture. And, paradoxically, reinforces the very regime it claims to denounce. The tragedy is twofold: Zionism survives not despite its liberal critics, but precisely because of them.

If Israel does in fact attack the flotilla and assassinate Greta Thunberg, the world will be outraged — for three days. Then, it will return to normal. But the genocide will continue. Because its end will not come with boats and songs of peace, nor with fiery speeches in the European Parliament. It will come only with the military and strategic resolve of the Resistance Axis — the only unconditional ally of Gaza and the Palestinian people.
