What a disgusting article, so many weasel words and dancing around genocide.
On the Israeli claim to Palestine:
and an intense emotional attachment that, by 1946, had led large numbers of Jews to flee centuries of persecution and Hitler’s annihilation “solution” in Europe to head to Palestine. Jews generally tried their best to overlook the indigenous Arab presence and viewed their own indigenous claim as equally valid.
Zionists did this, not Jews. In any case, how exactly did the situation progress in say 47-48 when the contradiction between "overlooking" a people that exists came to a head, Mr Cohen? Fucking euphemistic coward.
It is misplaced given that the 20th-century influx of persecuted European Jews came from a historically indigenous “population of refugees not sent by any empire.”
Pure lies, early Zionist settlers specifically came to Israel because they were pushed by the British and other allied powers who's rampant antisemitism was so strong that even the Holocaust didn't cause them to go "maybe we should make our societies safe places for Jewish people". They were armed, aided and abetted by the British empire specifically as a geopolitical proxy because Jews were less important to the British than "true" Englishmen, but the brits nevertheless had plausible deniability about it being a tool of the empire.
