"The great German socialist thinker August Bebel famously said that antisemitism is “the socialism of fools,” since antisemites tend to scapegoat cabals of “Jewish bankers” for the problems of an entire economic system. To tweak Bebel’s observation a bit, this kind of rhetoric about all Israelis being “settlers” whose presence in their country is illegitimate represents the anti-Zionism of fools."
What the fuck is this liberal zionist bullshit.
Silly, once settler-colonialism lasts for longer than a generation, the settlers can no longer be settlers nor colonizers. "Ugly rhetoric." Anger leads Native Americans to indulge in ugly rhetoric about how the white population, many of whom were born in the country, are "settlers."
As if succeeding at a genocidal project somehow makes the outcome just. Would people also write articles defending the rights of the descendants of Nazis living in the lebensraum after all the Slavs were transported east of the Urals in an alternate history? Who am I kidding, of course they would. You can't even get this people to agree to stop the genocide happening right now, the idea that you might inconvenience one group of people who were born in those lands to give some modicum of justice to another group who were also born in those exact same lands... well, that's just unthinkable apparently.
