Ever since October 7, anti-Palestinian racism has been rampant in the media. However, since Gaza solidarity encampments began springing up on campuses around North America, virulent racist columns have become all but normalized. Supporters of Israel's apartheid regime feel the pressure, and they are lashing out.

Writing in the National Post, Rahim Mohamed crosses lines that are even shocking for that paper.
- Rahim Mohamed claims that the “Palestinian liberation movement” is now a “genocidal death cult.”
- After arguing that Yasser Arafat was little more than a terrorist mastermind, Mohamed asserts that anyone wearing a Keffiyeh is “endorsing Arafat’s well-documented legacy of carnage and destruction.”
- He writes that the Keffiyeh is a “symbol of violence and intolerance.”
- He tries to demean the Keffiyeh by comparing it to a “Che Guevara T-shirt” worn by “low-information activists.”
