They call Jews “colonizers” because in the Western progressive imagination, Jews are simply filed under “white,” and “white” automatically means oppressor. That framing erases Mizrahi Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Yemenite Jews, Sephardic Jews, and even the Middle Eastern roots of Ashkenazi Jews. It is propaganda by simplification: reduce Jews to “white Europeans,” reduce Israel to “colonialism,” and then every fact that complicates the story disappears.
And you’re right: the Marxist-Islamist alliance has made inversion into an art form. They turn indigenous Jews into colonizers, terrorists into resistance fighters, and Jewish self-defense into aggression. Meanwhile, our side keeps answering slogans with footnotes. Until Jews learn to fight the propaganda war with clear, repeated, emotionally powerful truths, the facts will keep losing to the slogans.
Any argument or explanation is dismissed by our enemies as “hasbara lies”. And their arguments shapeshift: for example, one day they may say that today’s Jews aren’t the real Jews of antiquity or that “Palestinians” are actually the real Jews and that even Jesus was “Palestinian”.
" for the context of Zionism, many Jews shared a 'desire to be under the same government' based on their “common sympathies” and in response to the deprivations of statelessness."
Observation is accurate insofar as it applies to National Zionism. There is also Revisionist Zionism, Political Zionism, Religious Zionism, Labour Zionism to name some of its most obvious recent iterations.
However, Zion as homeland goes back millennia as evidenced in Psalm 137:1 "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion" which transcends the later factional developments.
Zionism, in essence is and has always been what all indigenous peoples claim as the source for their foundational identities: intimate connection between the Divine, Peoplehood, and Land. For Jews, this identity finds its quintessential expression in The Covenant.
Thanks so much for so much interesting data that was unknown to me.
It is impossible to keep reciting Muslim/ Arab mind-boggling self-contradictions, which they thoughtlessly and maliciously employ to justify their gruesome theft, and to keep " explaining" ourselves.
It begins with the Hebrew Bible, ravaged by both Christianity and Islam. Islam recognizes that Abraham fathered two nations. However savagely Ishmael's descendants are described, they and Israel belong in the vast Middle Eastern land. The Quran acknowledges that the land of Israel belongs to Israel.
And after that, even whilst acknowledging that the territory was conquered by the sword by Islam, and that other civilizations were obliterated or forced into Islam, the perennial subconscious knowledge of the primeval theft obscures and distorts reasoning, producing all the denials of Israel's origins, world history itself and Jews' right to the land.
The same need to justify a false identity crafted on the fraud committed against Israel is present in Christianity. In both cases, these appropriations and the need to constantly justify them by the trespassing impostors themselves and the mental exertions and elucubrations manifest in denying Israel, are the root cause of the idiotic pretexts for justifying their dispossession of the Jews.
Our conundrum is a case of thefts, tribal identities, religious superiority and supremacism, hoaxes, fraud, impersonation, appropriation and subsequent persecution of the original owners, to displace or eliminate them. The only difference between this scenario and so many similar ones in history, of one culture displacing another, is that the Jews survived, never forgot and never gave up. They are stronger today, in spite of all that happened to them.
Therefore, given such an intolerable sui-generis reality, and the loss of pride, dominion and image it causes Muslims and Christians, any pretext for undermining the Jews and Israel will be zealously pursued. Robbers attempting to make the owners disappear. A true historic millenarian crime. A common occurrence ,the plot of many thrillers, with the exceptional twists of millenarian macro extension and the miracle of Jewish survival and memory.
Look no further.
The original sin of both our " daughter" religions is matricide/parricide. The rest is incoherent, composed of savagely murderous pretexts and intellectual perversions to cover up the original misdeed.
Yes they are, and while pedo Mo was trying to win over the Jews to become a part of his tribe and recognize him as a prophet, Jews were good and deserving, but when the leaders of the Jewish people proved he was a charlatan and not a prophet at all, his attitude towards the Jews changed from one of kindness to one of "Jews Bad, kill them all", it can be seen throughout the Quran, and as he dictated it it went from praising and protecting the people of the book to kill them all on sight or he cannot return as their redeemer, the death of every Jew on the planet is his final command to all of his followers so if you think for even one moment there can be peace between Jews and islamists, I have a bridge I would love to sell you.
To be accurate, per Google: "A Semite is a member of any of various ancient and modern peoples originating in southwestern Asia, including Hebrews, Arabs, Akkadians, and Phoenicians. The term historically refers to speakers of Semitic languages and is derived from Shem, one of the sons of Noah. Today, it is largely used to refer to Jewish or Arab people." In this context, Anti-Semites are those hostile to distinct "races" while antisemites are those driven by Judeomesia, that is, Jew-hatred.
Modern usage are like modern interpretations of International Law, Customary International Law, and UN Charter, retooled for political expediency and adopted by the world at large when it fits their biases and prejudices.
by leftist standards, the Muslim Arab imperial conquest of the MId East, the "genocide", erasing of existing identies, faith, culture, language and Arabizing and Islamisizing, the resulting Muslim hegemony, the replacement of indigenous peoples with foreign N African, Egypitian, Balkan, Caucasus Muslims....is racist domination and should be opposed. Benny Morris once the anti Israel poster boy writes in an Australian journal that thanks to the above imperialism there are at last count 22 "Arab" nations. Or 23 as"Palestine" is listed everywhere as an existing nation, while East Turkmenistan, Kurdistan, Tibet are not. And "Arab" as a descriptive for the peoples from Mauratania to even within the border of current Iran is 20th century racial theorizing. Arabic speakers for most of their history since the imperialistic conquest were "Muslims" and part of the Muslim Ummah..... not some invented "Arab nation."

Fabulous and informative. Thank you!
So good. All of us blue-eyed Jews with tons of gingers in the family thank you!

Such a pity you have to defend yourself along these lines. It is good to be prepared, however, for whatever in the future.
Thanks for the gingers in Syria. That knowledge will help in my arguments.

Where is Freud when we need him?
The Children of Israel or Bani Israel are mentioned many times in the Quran:
