    Why do Zionists act like Isreal was "carved out of the desert" from nothing? Palestine has been inhabited by people for thousands of years. Some of the oldest continously inhabited cites are in the Levant.

    I mean i get its there nonsense propaganda, but it's so ignorant of just obvious things - like you know thousand year old cities

      It is part of the dehumanization of the native population. "They were all primitive and savage and now look how we've civilized the place." To propagate the myth of a land without a people, just the same as the Native American or the Native Australian populations who have been conveniently ignored so you could displace and/or kill them.

      The whole project is anchored around delusional worldbuilding, the point is to erase thousands of years of history and construct a simulacra dreamt up in the fever dreams of 19th century European orientalists

      Palestine was fertile olive groves and wheat fields since antiquity. Is Italy a desert as well?

      Its like euro settlers in the americas calling native civilizations “a vast empty wilderness”
