I feel like they should stop calling them “settlers”. “Settler” implies the little villagers in Civ or Catan, pioneering untamed lands.
These people are invaders. They’re invading someone else’s land. I don’t know where this “settler” word came from but it doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t like it.

Same goes for the “IDF”. In reality they’re the Israeli Occupation Forces, so IOF is much more fitting

Settlers is just the white washed euphemism for colonizers.

I mean no historically settlers are murderers.

Calling them “settlers” is a major part of how all of MSM is complicit in the genocide.
They are terrorists who force people from homes and steal their land.

I agree, but i also wonder if settler was never a good word, and we just thought it was.
