This chapter explores the historical and ideological connections between the woke left and their support for Hamas, tracing the origins of the term 'liberation' and its association with communist movements. It delves into the injection of romantic, nationalistic idealism into the Arab world by the Nazis, their deliberate propaganda push, and the influence of French and German thought in the region. The chapter also discusses the similarities between the ideals of the Zionist project and left-wing movements, exploring the reasons why the left-wing side has supported Palestine while the Israeli cause was not championed.
