Israel and “settler colonialism”

from the Arab lands arrived in Israel as refugees, most carrying the 1 suitcase they'd been given 24 hours to pack after millennia of residence, the opposite of a ‘white’ ‘European’ ‘racist’ ‘colonialism’. To apply those labels to that trauma is obscene. (9/10)

The 4th difference is that the int. comm. birthed Israel. The ‘settler colonialism’ paradigm erases the mandates that nurtured the Jewish state into being, just as was happening for Arab peoples, same time, same region. Again, utterly unlike the ‘settler colonial’ socs. (10/10)

    Excellent analysis; historically accurate.
    But, here’s the big “but”. What about the 7 million non-Jewish Arab/Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Isreal? (that’s almost as many people as the 7.5 million Jewish population of Isreal) Perhaps some, possibly many, of those Arab/Palestinians can claim descent from the original Canaanites (just like Jews; perhaps they are related) and/or can claim they have been forced from land long occupied by their ancestors.
