sure do love reading posts about how zionism is a special, different kind of colonization that makes it actually fine and okay :)

like there were a LOT of antizionist jews in the early 20th century. there are a lot of us now. and it’s not because we just don’t Understand the Complexities of the israeli political situation. it’s because all forms of zionism, from their inception and to this day, have all always been morally wrong. israel was founded with a massive act of ethnic cleansing and murder because there is no other possible way to move large amounts of people into a place where other people already live that ensures the people arriving have all the political power. there was never a Good israel and there was never a Good zionism. it was rotten from its inception and it cannot be fixed or repaired or cleansed of the blood it demands.

you can dress up your explanations in lots of long paragraphs but the actual definition of all zionism is simply “we get to force everyone who was already living in this place to leave or be subservient to us or simply be killed.” there is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

#palestine #zionism #i also love israelis lecturing me about how jews needed israel to be safe after the holocaust #y’all’s country has ALWAYS been openly contemptuous of holocaust survivors. your founders loathed them.#israel was founded to give the west more control in the middle east and secondarily as a white supremacist project #that’s IT that’s ALL #israel has exactly as much legitimacy as white rule in south africa did #god it drives me absolutely batshit when israeli zionists make long posts ‘explaining’ the details of the different factions #you are either against apartheid or for it. you either support the murder and displacement of indigenous people or you oppose it.#nobody gives a shit about the minute details of your political spectrum because every point on the spectrum is ‘well it’s ours now :)’#like oh some of us think it’s all ours except these small areas so we’re more reasonable than the ones who think it’s ALL ours period #THOSE ARE THE SAME.#‘oh well this survey says 20% of people lean left’ THERE IS AN ACTIVE GENOCIDE #why the FUCK do you care about ANYTHING except making it stop???
