News24 host James Macpherson argues the pro-Palestine cause has become a vehicle for failed ideologies and global scapegoating of Israel. “Having watched anti-Israel protests over the past few years, I've concluded that the pro-Palestine cause is the dumping ground where failed ideologies go to be reborn,” Mr Macpherson said. “Palestine here is not so much a cause as a stage. And Israel is simply the convenient villain around which the performance can be organised. “Seems to me like we're watching scapegoating, on a global scale.”
