there are a lot of goyim esp from other Marginalised backgrounds that are taking the wrong lessons away from the fact that it turns out that a group of primarily socialist/communist people from an extremely oppressed cultural group with deep ties to an area are in fact more than capable of founding a regional settler colonial ethnostate in that area, a state that was capable of the mass dislocation and then intergenerational imprisonment of hundreds of thousands and then millions of people, and that while many non Jews feel morally pure and free of this ideology, the reality of the situation should terrify everyone

#Like a lot of you would have gotten into it #I have a longer post in me about how tziyonut is probably the colonial ideology most reflected in a bunch of decolonial circles tha #That consider themselves free of this ideology #But if there’s anything I’ve learned in the last week it’s that people take ethnic signposting #Over actual considerations of ideology #Like I think a lot of the weirdness around tziyonut is the fact that people see it as the ultimate big bad in violent ideologies and als #And also something wierd and jewy?#They can feel comfy decrying an ideology that isn’t *theres*#But digging into the ideology and history that is the profound moral tragedy of how a specific plan put forward for the liberation of on #Oppressed people ended up in the mass oppression and displacement of another #Yields a situation that is much more morally taxing and uncomfortable for everyone #I’m seeing stuff about how an oppressed people has right to limitless force and there are no civillians in the enemey #That would have done absolute numbers with the haganah #Like. It’s that I would never -#You don’t know what you would do actually #In those situations. You don’t know #And furthermore the signposting over ideology means that the same people who feel the need to harass every Jew they know are often r #Reblogging stuff ripped out of the logic book or the exact ideology they claim to revile once removed #From a Jewish context
