When Palestinianism becomes a political weapon

The political road to power increasingly runs through pro-Palestinian consensus and voters who glorify Hamas, while seeking to silence those who stand against it.Here is the all-too-simple story of a regional president who quickly became passionate about “Palestine,” built his politics around the issue and chose a predetermined victim because of his courageously asserted connection to Israel.Eugenio Giani, president of Tuscany, the central Italian region whose capital is Florence, has decided not to renew the appointment of Marco Carrai, Israel’s honorary consul in Florence, as president of the Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation.Under Carrai’s presidency, the hospital has been extraordinarily generous in promoting initiatives for all children, including those from Gaza.Giani has chosen a new president, in effect silently accepting the antisemitic criminalization of Israel over the issue of children.This is essentially a continuation of the horrific campaign against Carrai and his entire family, which has included death threats, posters and…

🗞️ In-depth summary

Eugenio Giani, President of Tuscany, has decided not to renew Marco Carrai's appointment as president of the Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation. Carrai is Israel’s honorary consul in Florence and has faced a “horrific campaign” of death threats and harassment due to his connection to Israel. Giani, who initially expressed solidarity with Israel after the October 7th Hamas massacre, shifted his stance to align with a broader coalition that includes pro-Palestinian elements. This political shift is seen as leveraging “Palestinianism” to mobilize voters, as evidenced by the regional council's recognition of Palestine, flying the Palestinian flag, and resolutions critical of Israel. The article highlights similar political weaponization of the Palestinian cause in the United States by figures like former Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, suggesting a broader trend where Palestinianism serves as a political identity and a means of voter mobilization.
