Palestinian solidarity weakened as Arab suffering became widespread and universal.

Evidence

A similar fate befell the Palestinian question. Its staid leadership did not appeal to the younger generation of Arabs; it was older bureaucrats who replaced the handsome revolutionary figures of the past century, using outdated slogans and methods. Moreover, in the midst of the turmoil in the region, the plague of the Palestinians seemed less unique. Blood was everywhere, war was everywhere. Advocates of normalization thought the decade of the 2010s was theirs. Israeli leaders felt the moment was ripe for further advances, not only against the Palestinian Authority, but also against Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran. — Youssef Cherif, Neo-pan-Arabism, 47

Categorization

• XREF: Core to the reader’s decay-of-solidarity question: when grievance becomes omnipresent, any single mobilizing cause loses its distinction and emotional pull — echoes the manufactured-enemy thesis from the inversion side.
• DEEPTHINKING: A striking inverse observation: scarcity of victimhood is what made the Palestinian cause uniquely galvanizing; when blood was everywhere it became ordinary. Threat-hardening implies exclusivity of iconic grievance.
