Pennie Quinton‘s CiF piece on April 16, Vale Vittorio Arrigoni, ‘hero of Palestine, expresses a near maudlin anguish over the death of Arrigoni, lionizing the pro-Hamas activist as a “hero” of Palestine and “peace activist”, and contained this simply draw dropping line about Arrigoni’s brutal murder at the hands of an Al-Qaeda affiliated group in Gaza.
“Writing as someone who has spent a great deal of time in the West Bank over the years, these events seem alien to the Palestinian culture of resistance I have come to know and respect” [emphasis mine]
The murder of Arrigoni is “alien to the culture of resistance”?!
Given that the word “resistance” is typically understood as a thinly veiled euphemism for acts of terror against Israelis, it seems the only thing which shocks Quinton is the fact that Islamist terrorists had no moral concerns with murdering a non-Israeli – a Westerner who was not only pro-Palestinian, but affiliated with ISM and aligned politically with Hamas.
