As I have mentioned before, some of these columns just write themselves. Ain’t easy on my nausea levels, but what can you do.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph comments that one of the larger segments of Western society has finally taken a side on the horrible, interminable, etc. conflict in the Middle East. Yes, it has come to the attention of one of the largest groups around – maybe adding our voices to the chorus of opinion, we can put some real pressure on all those fanatical Jooz and Raghedz to\u00a0 stop mucking about. I refer, or course, to the fat.<\/p>\n

This is the brainchild of Hannah Moushabeck (see above – ed.)\u00a0 a Palestinian American author and activist, in collaboration with designer Phoebe Wahl and a lifestyle blog called Fat Girl Flow. Essentially, it looks like a t-shirt design with pretensions to being a political movement.<\/p>\n

For $39 you can get your hands on a standard or a cropped tee, emblazoned with \u201cFatties for a Free Palestine\u2019, surrounded by flowers, watermelons and cutesy cartoon figures. If you\u2019re on the larger side of plus-size, you might want to hurry, though. The 4X, 5X and 6X cropped versions are already sold out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please, PLEASE, dear God use the brain bleach – get the image of a 6X CROP TOP (purportedly posted with pro-palestinian propaganda) out of my my mind. 6X? Gawd, rolls and flabby rolls, with a detailed contour map of the Negev Desert writ large in stretch marks…<\/p>\n

Alongside raising funds for Gaza, Moushabeck says she also wants to tackle \u201ca lack of protest garments for those in larger bodies\u201d. Sure, you can go on the marches and chant all the questionable slogans, but if you can\u2019t flaunt your views in an IG snap, are you really pro-Palestine? Woke politics and fashion are now indistinguishable.<\/p>\n

The narcissism doesn\u2019t end there. The desperation of Western activists to make every cause about their own identity has provided some grim comic relief during this war. Who could forget the rise of Queers for Palestine, or Chickens for KFC as critics have dubbed it \u2013 given the murderous homophobia of Hamas-run Gaza?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chickens for KFC…love it. Larger bodies? As in “field dressed to 20 stone” larger? I am guessing she and her ilk don’t need aid shipments.<\/p>\n

Now the fat activists \u2013 yes, this is apparently a thing \u2013 are getting in on the act. Fat activism is a subculture of wokedom that sees fat people as both an oppressed group in their own right and as a blast against supposedly \u201cwhite\u201d, Western ideals of beauty. Essentially, being overweight and having the right opinions is radical now \u2013 particularly if you are wearing one of those t-shirts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To everyone else, of course, all of this looks patently ridiculous \u2013 as ridiculous as Gingers for Palestine or IBS Sufferers for Palestine would be. Identity politics has taken the most superficial, unimportant things about us and turned them into opportunities to attention-seek.<\/p>\n

But given this is about Gaza and Israel, Fatties for a Free Palestine isn\u2019t just a joke. You don\u2019t have to go far down its dedicated Instagram page before you encounter bilious anti-Semitism, including an activist waving a placard railing against \u201cZio scum\u201d \u2013 an anti-Semitic slur. \u00a0\u00a0 The Telegraph<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You get better alliteration with Porkers for Palestine, by the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
