Journalist Laments That ‘You Can’t Hijack Planes’ in Protest Anymore

Mohammed El-Kurd, a celebrated Palestinian poet and The Nation‘s Palestine correspondent, wistfully lamented that “you can’t hijack planes” and therefore “just can’t be” anymore on X Monday.

“You can’t protest peacefully. You can’t boycott. You can’t hunger strike. You can’t hijack planes. You can’t block traffic. You can’t throw Molotovs. You can’t self-immolate. You can’t heckle politicians. You can’t march. You can’t riot. You can’t dissent. You just can’t be,” wrote el-Kurd.

In addition to his advocacy on behalf of would-be hijackers, El-Kurd has has argued that “Zionism is apartheid, it’s genocide, it’s murder” and even a “death cult.” Last fall, El-Kurd reacted to the October 7 terrorist attack in southern Israel by suggesting it was morally justified and mocking those who condemned it.

“The siege is the provocation. Forcing people to live in an open-air prison is an escalation. Occupation, colonization, and land-theft are the root cause of the ‘conflict.’ Everything else is retaliation,” he argued in one post.

It really sucks that you can't hijack planes in protest anymore...


I note he didn't mention rape and murder.
Oh wait, he did:

Occupation, colonization, and land-theft are the root cause of the ‘conflict.’ Everything else is retaliation

3. In S Fla hijackers and airline bombers are celebrated.

As long as they are the beloved Cuban exiles.

They even get streets named after them or they become the Grand Master of Miami's Three Kings parade on Calle Ocho.

4. Who is stopping him from a hunger strike? Of course, they can still hijack planes.

The fun just isn't there anymore...

If you can't hijack planes, you truly have a first world problem..
