Arab and BDS Alliance Against Israel

The green-red octopus: The alliance between extreme Islamic organizations and the radical left against Israel

Since the 1960s, a connection between European radical leftist organizations and secular Palestinian terrorist organizations was formed in order to fight together against the State of Israel. 

The worldview that united the organizations was based on a concept that views Zionism as an imperialist and colonialist act that must be eradicated. In order to realize and promote this worldview, collaborations were created between radical leftist and anti-imperialist organizations and Palestinian terrorist organizations, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and of course the PLO. 

This connection took an interesting turn before the beginning of the 2000s when a Boycott (BDS) and delegitimization campaign against the State of Israel, led by Islamic organizations alongside secular Palestinian terrorist organizations and international radical leftist organizations. The Islamic organizations were mainly identified with the "Muslim Brotherhood" movement, whose influence has been growing in Europe since the late 1980s, in parallel to the growth of the terrorist organization Hamas, which was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza in those years.
