Part 2/8:
The narrative begins with a group of activists from the United States, Canada, and Europe who aimed to stage a provocative march into Gaza, inspired by their support for Palestinian rights. Financed by a web of organizations reportedly linked to George Soros's Open Society Foundations, these activists, largely aligned with extreme left ideology, seemed to disregard critical political and social nuances in the region. Front organizations such as Code Pink and the Palestinian Youth Movement were at the forefront of this effort, representing a kind of performative activism that many viewed as misguided and naive.
