      Centering everything about this on Jews vs Palestinians actually is fucked up. It is white settler colonialism just like it has always been. Furthermore centering the topic of Jewishness only serves to absolve white anglos of the uncomfortable truth that they are simply witnessing what they did for centuries now live streamed in real time.

      Apparently way too many people are not ready for that conversation and that this is just mask off white supremacy. Zionists are just another new facet of white supremacy and the only reason to specify Judaism in this discussion is to deflect from one’s own position as a colonizing factor.

        It literally is Jews vs Palestinians. Fucking white people on the internet centering their own understanding of an issue over what people all over SWANA have been experiencing for 80 years.

        They can literally say god promised them this land, god also allows them to rape and murder non-jews, and you’d still be parroting liberal zionist tropes about how it isn’t jewish supremacy and point at the holocaust like that gives jews around the world a free pass to be literal nazis because WHITE LIBERALS dont value arab lives for SHIT.

        It is white settler colonialism

        This is an appealing escape hatch but it doesn’t hold up. Half the Jews in Israel aren’t white but from countries like Morocco and Iraq. Israel doesn’t run on white-supremacy. It runs on Jewish supremacy. You can’t move into a Palestinian home by being white. You can by being Jewish.

          An escape hatch from what? Agreeing with you that Jews as an entire group deserve collective responsibility for the actions of Israel? Do we hold Americans to the same standard? Only half of the US is white, is it any less white supremacist? Do Israelis treat non-white Jews as equal? The answer to all of these is of course absolutely not, and if the point you are driving at is that we must to the first part to be truly anti-Zionist idk what to tell you except you are no comrade of mine.
