Irish author Sally Rooney, in saying that the “liberation of Palestine represents the liberation of the world” is employing rhetoric straight out of the Nazi playbook
The implications are as deranged as they are terrifying: that the Jews, as a collective, must be disenfranchised & eliminated in order for the world to be “free”
It’s the same thing as “the Jews are our misfortune”
But one cannot solely blame Rooney for her rhetoric, for she exists with a vast ecosystem of hate within both Ireland and the broader literary community, which has succumbed to the darkest impulses of mankind
