Modern Israel has a verifiable forensic history defined as a settler colonial enterprise facilitated by the U.S. and Britain, as a result of the horrific systematic European purge of Jews between 1933-1945. The Israeli military forces during the 1948 Nakba and War of Independence were overwhelmingly of European origin, consisting of both European immigrants who had arrived before the war and newly arrived Holocaust survivors. 750,000 indigenous Palestinians were massacred or driven out, which is a textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. Anyone who claims today that Palestine never existed or wasnʻt a real country, have been brainwashed by settler colonial propaganda against an indigenous population, and those European Israelis who chose the same violence that drove them to Palestine in the first place are just terrible human beings. What we’re witnessing is the wholesale normalization of holocausting indigenous people in the Levant for the settler colonial death march called “Greater Israel”

Glad the world is finally waking up to what Israel is. ☘️ Ireland has stood with Palestine and against Israeli racism, war crimes, and land theft for decades and now stands with Lebanon too. FREE PALESTINE 💪

We have to expose this for all it’s worth. The entire history of Zionism and Israel is an anti Jewish lie. I’m a Jewish anti Zionist and I don’t blame Protestants, but religious myth making which all religions build into their doctrines. Zionism is a result of this. An ideology built on lies

"Through repetition..." you dare to represent yourself as some kind of authority?

Same thing with the term “the chosen people.” This is very much a Protestant thing that got absorbed into the thinking of assimilated Jews.

One of the oldest Zionist apologetic arguments you'll hear is that the Jews were somehow "the original inhabitants" or Palestine and, thereby, Jerusalem. But, historically, the Jews never held Jerusalem for any significant amount of time compared to all the other nations that lived and ruled there. For roughly 3500 years --Yes, say that figure out loud: THREE THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS-- in what is called the Proto-Canaanite period, Jerusalem belonged to the Canaanites who worshipped many gods and godesses. It wasn't until 2000BC do scholars find a reference that debatably refers to Jerusalem. The word is "Rusalimum" in texts of Egypt's Middle Kingdom. Scholars believe that the name is a consecration to "Shalim" a Canaanite deity of the netherworld from Ugaritic scriptures. The territory passed from the Canaanites to the Egyptians, ultimately. So here we have Egyptians and Canaanites being the original inhabitants of Jerusalem for 3,500 years before the Jews ever conquered it. Jerusalem was taken by King David in 1010BC and lost to the Egyptians in 925BC. Jehoash of Israel briefly recaptured it in 786BC but then lost it to the Assyrians in 740BC. That's just 131 years, just about as long as the Crusaders' rule of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages. The Jewish Hasmoneans re-took it in 140BC under Simon Thassi but then lost it to the Persian Seleucides in 134. That's 6 more years of Jewish rule. Due to a Seleucid civil war, Judeah incidentally became independent in the chaos in 116BC. In 87BC the Jewish Hasmonean king executed 800 Jews for sedition. In 47BC they lost Jerusalem again, this time to the Romans. That's 69 years of rule. In total, off and on the Jews ruled Jerusalem for MAYBE 206 years. The Pre-Constantine Romans ruled it for 250 years. The Christian Byzantines ruled it for 304 years. The Muslims ruled it under the Rashidun, Umayyad and Abbasid Empires for 332 years. The Muslim Fatimids ruled it for 129 years. The Crusaders took it from the Muslims and held it for 88 years. The Muslim ruler Saladin conquered it in 1187 and his descendents held it for 63 years. The Muslim Mamluk Empire ruled it for 236 years. The Ottomans rule

Palestinians are the descendents of ancient Israelites, not east European AshkeNazis

Archaeology can never justify colonialism. It doesn’t matter how many coins they find, how much evidence they collect from our ancestors, it will never give us the right to oppress the Indigenous peoples of Palestine.
