jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months agoWhen do you set the line for it to be considered colonialism? From the Mizrahim perspective the Arab Palestinians are the colonists for example.
And very few population groups can claim to be the original human population of the place they live.
So you need a criteria, and the best one is probably considering if reverting the migration would fit in the definition of genocide, and erasing Israeli with it’s own unique language and religion would definitely fit the definition of genocide. And conversely so would be eliminating Palestine as a country.
From a genetic point of view claims like these become ridiculous.
Christianity was a jewish cult as well as also being right next to the founding of islam. If we count the splinter groups and genetic intermingling, all these claims become but ridiculous powerplays.

Very reactionary position. Thinking like this what lets colonizers do what they’re doing.
Zionism isn’t some centuries old thing. It started in full force only around 70 years ago to serve British military interests in the region. People are literally being displaced and forced out of their homes by military right now.

Reactionary thinking? The commenter’s like “hey what’s the actual actionable way to do this? Any ideas? No? Cause it’s not really possible now that the mistake has been made?” And you’re claiming they’re the reactionaries lol
They’re the only one thinking about how it would actually work, you’re more concerned about the ethics of past events.
