Israeli academics? Believe it or not, Hamas!

It takes literally 5 minutes navigation "Israel" history to find out it is a genocide based project. They literally calling to build "Jew state" on a land where other people lives. And the more you read the more fucked up it gets. So academic should be doing better ! This been going for 2 years, and the pretend the plan wasn't genocide since British Christian Zionist came up with the idea as early as 1580..

The anticipation of Jews returning to Palestine and making it their national homeland was first heard among self-identified Christian groups in the 1580s, particularly those aligned with Puritanism, a Reformed branch of Christianity that gave rise to the Congregationalist denomination.

Like you can't even imagine this shit..

In 1844, George Bush, a professor of Hebrew at New York University and the cousin of an ancestor of the Presidents Bush, published a book titled The Valley of Vision; or, The Dry Bones of Israel Revived. In it he denounced "the thralldom and oppression which has so long ground them (the Jews) to the dust," and called for "elevating" the Jews "to a rank of honorable repute among the nations of the earth" by allowing restoring the Jews to the land of Israel where the bulk would be converted to Christianity.[57] This, according to Bush, would benefit not only the Jews, but all of mankind, forming a "link of communication" between humanity and God. "It will blaze in notoriety ...". "It will flash a splendid demonstration upon all kindreds and tongues of the truth."

Look it really doesn't matter what some crazy people thought in 1580 or 1844. Trying to condemn the entire modern-day nation of Israel and its inhabitants is on par with calling all of Gaza terrorists.

I'm not saying Israel doesn't have deeply rooted colonialism nor that we shouldn't study its history, but making blanket judgements about entire peoples based on random historical nitpicks, is the weapon of the enemy.

Making blanket judgements about entire peoples based on random historical nitpicks,

Is not random nitpicks, it is the root of what we see today and what we will see tomorrow. If this is the root of why European pushed Jew from their land in Europe, then indoctrinate them slowly over the years to believe this is their land and they can "kill every human, animal, and trees" then no wonder we have estimated 80% of the population support the genocide of the Palestinian people.

It does because it add context to the reason why occupation and genocide is still happening

You attempting to erase the history of a racial supremacist movement is part of the problem.

ALL MODERN DAY ZIONISM is the belif in a racially pure jewish ethnostate in control of the holy land.

Until ZIONIST idology is shamed out of public society, until ZIONIST politicians are barred from power, they will keep committing the same atrocities.

after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - ben gurion first israeli prime minister before arab decided to attack

Wonder if Palestine academics are secretly against Hamas too

[–] NewDark 2 points 1 week ago

Everyone in Palestine is Hamas to Israelis. You can tell because they're trying to final solution them all as we speak.
