Jordan Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, recently tweeted a message of support for Israel in the ongoing conflict with Palestine. In his tweet, Peterson wrote, “Give ’em hell @netanyahu Enough is enough.”

Peterson also retweeted a tweet by Victorian Socialists calling for support for Palestine, with the caption “You Murderous Anti-Semitic Rats.”

Peterson’s tweets have been met with widespread criticism, with many accusing him of being insensitive and inflammatory. Some have also pointed out that Peterson’s comments are particularly troubling given his background as a psychologist, as they could be seen as inciting violence.

Peterson ignores the complex history of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. His tweets demonize Palestinians and promote genocide. His call for violence against Palestine is dangerous and could lead to further bloodshed.

Peterson’s tweets are also wrong because they ignore the fact that Israel is the aggressor in the conflict. Israel has been occupying Palestinian land since 1967, and it continues to build settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law. Israel has also imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip, which has created a humanitarian crisis.

Palestinians have a much stronger claim to the land than Israel. Palestinians have lived in Palestine for centuries, and they have a right to self-determination. Israel, on the other hand, is a settler-colonial state that was established in 1948 through the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes.

Minority rights law, indigenous rights law, and law supporting self-determination all support the Palestinian cause.

Minority rights law protects the rights of minorities to maintain their culture, language, and religion. Palestinians are a minority in Israel, and they have the right to their own culture, language, and religion. However, Israel has often violated the rights of Palestinians, including their right to freedom of religion and their right to education in their own language.

Indigenous rights law protects the rights of indigenous peoples to their land and resources. Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine, and they have a right to their land and resources. However, Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian land and built settlements on it. Israel has also confiscated Palestinian resources, such as water.

Law supporting self-determination recognizes the right of all peoples to self-determination. This means that peoples have the right to choose their own government and determine their own political status. Palestinians have the right to self-determination, but Israel has denied them this right by occupying their land and preventing them from establishing their own independent state.

Peterson’s tweets are wrong and dangerous because they ignore the facts and promote violence. He should apologize for his comments and retract his call for violence against Israel.
