A serious question for those calling Jews “European colonizers”: What European flag were they planting? Colonies exist on behalf of an outside empire. Israel wasn’t founded as a colony of Britain, France, Germany, or any other European power. If there was no mother country, in what sense is it colonialism?

"Almost every single modern border on Earth was drawn with a sword and cemented in blood."

Yeah, almost. The Levant's borders were drawn instead with tea, crumpets, and baguettes.

Fuck the Brits, and fuck the French. That's me being polite.

We have to be proud and educated in our rich Jewish heritage

Thank you, Melissa, for stating what I have been thinking about colonization! Remember this saying: “the sun never sets on the British Empire”? Great Britain had colonized so much land throughout the earth that this was a literal statement.

The special thing about Israel is that God Himself promised the land to Abraham and his offspring as an eternal possession (Genesis 17:8). The promise was repeated to Isaac and to Jacob.

I believe this is why so many people are focused on that tiny sliver of land. These people hate God, and they hate God’s people. But God hasn’t forgotten His promise to Abraham, and this is why Israel exists today!

Projection, pure and simple: As nasty and craven and hypocritical as that. The Jewish People are Othered by Elements of The State here in The West so our property can be stolen, in acts of cruel sadism in the service of Avarice of a corrupting Elite. Monitors here in Europe have documented the whole Process in the minutest detail. I quote directly, ‘I no longer ask ‘why’, only ‘how’’, said directly to me. And I no longer even resent this. Am I normalised to the Program? Quite possibly. Hundreds of us have been treated in this way. I personally was sexually attacked in the worst possible way by the Services at the age of six, having had my head juiced at the age of two years old… all admitted and documented. But delegitimising Israel in the face of this is no longer acceptable, and is not successful this time either, now the Truth is fully known. So now you know. We need Israel, and in fact so does the West to prevent Nazism. Am Israel Chai.

And one would be hard put to find a place, other than Israel, where the newcomers expelled the inhabitants. They may have overwhelmed them, subjugated them, intermarried with them, but didn't throw them out.

I think your comment oversimplifies the history in two ways. First, describing Jews simply as 'newcomers' overlooks their historical origin and continuous presence in the land. Second, it's not historically accurate to suggest Israel is uniquely difficult to compare. History contains many examples of populations being expelled or forcibly displaced during wars and the creation of new states. The 1947–49 refugee crisis itself wasn't the result of one uniform policy or one single cause—it varied considerably from place to place

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear: I wasn't describing the Jews as the newcomers. I meant the external warriors who defeated Israel , occupied the land, and expelled the Jews. See the Roman captivity, for example. The Romans didn't expel the Germanic tribes or the Anglo-Saxon ones. Much less erase their names.
