<p>Daily Wire host Michael Knowles eviscerated the Left’s misinterpretation of the history and motivations behind Hamas’ October 7 attack in a speech on Monday night.</p>
<p>Knowles <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UCa-8jKddw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> at the University of California, Berkeley, which marked the anniversary of the terrorist group&#8217;s attack against Israel. In his speech, he called out the Left for claiming that Israel is occupying Palestinian land and missing the religious motivations behind Hamas’ attack.</p>
<p>Knowles said that leftist student protesters chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” are ignorant of the history of the Holy Land.</p>
<p>“There has never been a nation-state known as Palestine, even if there had been, Palestinian Arabs would not be the indigenous heirs to the Levant, which was Byzantine before Muslim Arabs invaded and conquered the land in the 7th century,” Knowles said.</p>
<p>“Jews had lived as a nation in the Levant, eventually becoming incorporated into the Roman Empire until the Jewish-Roman wars of the first and second centuries,” he added. “That is a deeper historical tie than the Muslim Arabs can claim.”</p>
<p>The Daily Wire host argued that “all indigenous arguments” for the right to certain areas “fall flat,” saying that pointing to “historical occupation” is not sufficient to claim the Holy Land “as a nation-state for the Arabs, or the Byzantines or the Romans or the Jews or the Caananites or the Hittites for that matter.”</p>
<p>“None of whom, by the way, even conceived of the modern nation-state before it appeared in the 17th century as a way to restore political order to Europe, which had been embroiled in more than a century of war following the Protestant revolution,” Knowles said.</p>
<p>“The more sophisticated campus protesters make arguments that go deeper than the land and the sea,” he added. “They will argue that Palestinian Muslims must have a nation-state in order to protect some vague notion of human rights.”</p>

<p>But even this argument from leftists relies on Western tradition and Christianity.</p>
<p>“What is ironic about leftist protesters’ babble about human rights with regard to Arab nationalism in Palestine is that the Muslims entirely reject the supposed rights that the leftists exalt,” Knowles said. “If a queer for Palestine ever actually traveled to Gaza, he would be thrown off of a rooftop.”</p>
<p>“The campus babble about human rights is silly, but it is more sophisticated than the argument about the river and the sea because it at least approaches the real key to the October 7 attack, which is religion,” he added.</p>
