Yes, I was surprised this morning to learn that the Saudi suspect in the horrific and tragic Christmas market terrorist act was a far-right, ANTI-Islam terrorist rather than a terrorist on Team Globalize-the-Intifada.
I would have been much less surprised if he was a white far-right terrorist or if he was a Saudi Globalizing the Intifada.
I was surprised but not overly surprised.
Because I'm seeing more and more when it comes to world drama, people don't fit nicely into little boxes.
For example....
There are vocal Jewish anti-Zionists.
There are vocal Muslim/Arab Zionists.
There was a debate at Oxford in November where people voted on whether Israel is doing apartheid and genocide.
Two of the people arguing against Israel were Jewish.
Two of the people arguing for Israel were Arab.
Sample quote from one of the Jews: "What happened on October 7th was not terrorism — these were acts of heroism of a people who were oppressed".
Sample quote from one of the Arabs: "Palestinians are the most pathetic people on planet Earth".
