The Shi'i Jurists & the Palestinian Cause
No one has stood in support of the Palestinian cause as openly and sincerely as the jurists and religious authorities of the Shi'a, from Jabal 'Amel to Najaf to the global climax of the sect's versatile involvement in this righteous struggle after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. The squeaky voices that emerge from within the sect who say otherwise are about as relevant as the voices that emerge from within the Palestinian community denying said support and rejecting it, or accepting a two-state solution: these have no actual weight among the reasonable. Understand that this firm stance is not a personal analysis or political/historical interpretation of the 'situation' in Palestine. That is essentially how it is depicted in the West under the ceiling of free thought, opinion and expression - to excuse treacherous takes. By flawed theory or active policy, excusing treacherous takes causes pure takes to dissolve in the discourse and become equal in value, effectively creating a game where the only players on the floor are the decision-makers of the political class (ironically in democracy's name)! So-called 'tolerant' culture creates this game not to act on some sincere love for intellectual liberty, or to introduce non-confrontational debate as a life-saving alternative for 'war' as a whole. The true aim is 'confiscation of the sword' to enable the wrong actors..
