omnicause

noun /ˌɒmnɪˈkɔːz/

  1. The hypothesised relation of major political causes and issues, especially in the context of such relatedness being false or inessential.

    Palestinians have attained this status: as a group, they tick a great many intersectional victim boxes, while Omnicause adherents have long viewed Israel’s behaviour as a metonym for American oppression, both internally (racism, slavery) and externally (global imperial hegemony).

Where it comes from

From omni- + cause. Coined in 2023 during the Israel–Hamas war protests. Compare omnishambles.
