I'm reading An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States and I'm struck with how basically identical US settlers and Israeli settlers are - it's very clear they're both part of the same joint imperial project when you look at the behavior of 1800s settlers.
It's like Israelis are time travelers, it's really incredible how similar they are in their language and behavior and actions.
Yeh. They've very self-consciously a european settler-colonial movement. They've always been very open and clear about that going all the way back to Herzl.
Half of the "anti Zionism is anti semitism" arguments basically boils down to "all these other nations got to do what we are doing and no one stopped them, why do you care now?"
Its true, settler-colonialism isn't new and has been successful in the past. But how Zionists ignore 200 years of historical and political development is truely astounding, not to mention all of the ethical qualms that they somehow justified to themselves. I guess they think they can just force back the clock on this one genocide with the US hegemon's support.
