  Where did I deny colonialism? I acknowledge the fact that Israel is occupying (and colonising) the West Bank and Gaza, I firmly believe they should be pushed out and forced to pay reparations for the decades of stealing land and killing Palestinians.

  Is this “colonialism denial” to you?

  Yeah, it’s all just colonialism denial. You are a genocidal colonialism supporter. No amount of calling “Israelis” “Israelites” to pretend they’re native to the region and not colonizers will make it true.

  Israelis vs Israelites might come from language barrier. English is not my native language.

  But saying they’re not native to the region when we have archaeological and historical evidence of them being there over 3000 years ago is either extreme ignorance, or fundamentalist extremism.

    You literally deny colonialism in the sentence after asking where you deny it. “Israel” is a settler colony in its entirety. Once again, Ben Gurion, who committed the Nakba, was very clear about this. So was Herzl, the main forefather of the “Israeli” state.

    “Israelis” are the modern day settlers. “Israelites” are the ancient people. “Israelis” are not native to the region. They are mainly europeans, as well as Arab Jews from elsewhere in West Asian and North Africa. Palestinians are native to the region and are descendants of the Israelites who never left.

      It’s like you don’t even read my comments, just default to “wah, wah, wah, you’re a colonialism denier, wah, wah, wah!”

      There’s no reason to continue this conversation in this context.

        I read your comments denying genocide, that’s why I reply by calling you a genocide denier. I have explained over and over, but you don’t believe colonialism is genocidal because you are a genocide denier. It seems you also don’t even believe colonialism is colonialism.

        I agree, I’m not sure why I even bothered to reply to an obvious genocidal zionist for so long.

    No you don’t. You believe it would be nice if Israel volunteered to do that willingly, but that anybody trying to force them should be condemned.
