> Also, in what upside-down universe is a forcibly expelled indigenous people returning home 'colonial'?

Because they weren't forcibly expelled from Palestine!

If I get unlawfully evicted from my new apartment that doesn't give me the right to go take my old apartment by force.

By your logic I can use my 23 and me to prove the whole world belongs to me (excluding Australia and Antartica). That's not how this works.

  • I do not normally swear, but what the fuck? We absolutely were expelled (genocided, really).

    Or what else would you call the Romans banning us from our holy city Jerusalem (and renaming it, just like they renamed the whole region to try to deny our indigenousness, and also bulldozing our temple--you can go see it today, it's underneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque) and selling us as slaves around the empire and subsequent rulers forbidding us to return!?

    • 1. Romans didn't just wake up one day and decide to banish ancient israelites from Jerusalem, they responded to the brutal and murderous revolt where local roman government was murdered.

      2. DNA analysis showed that european jews (especially secular zionists) have no connection to the land of Palestine, it is Palestinians, Jordanian Christians, and Samaritans who are native.

      3. Slavery is bad, a lot of people were sold as slaves throughout the history. Lets talk about who owned all trans-atlantic slave trade to America? Who brought all slaves in Caribbeans and American south ?

      It was Dutch Jewish slave traders who were leading the slave trade

      Now can we talk about reparations for slavery from Israel to all the Black Americans and mixed race people who are descendants of slaves?
