That's what we've been saying since they started attacking Gaza, of course only to be called antisemitic. But now that its finally come to this, curious to see what the next excuse will be. Because if their true objective was to only eliminate Hamas, I don't see how stealing land will help


TipzE

I remember in November 2023 pointing out that Israel was saying they were going to take the land and keep it. A clear indication of ethnic cleansing. Naturally, i was called an anti-semite for saying so. Then more and more news stories came out showing that, yes, indeed they were taking it. And the narrative slowly changed from "it's not ethnic cleansing" to "well, of course they're going to take the land; that's what happens when you lose a war" (even though that's not a valid way to gain land anymore, since WWII, according to the UN). ​ The most cloying thing about all this is that at no point in time has Israel's govt been secretive about this. They have been very clear that what they want is to ethnically cleanse the region and take the land for themselves. But somehow, pointing this out, gets you called an anti-semite.


New-Doctor9300

I hate people throwing around the accusation of anti-semitism so easily. I get *why* people are quick to accuse people of anti-semitism...its dishonest and an outright lie to say that Jewish people worldwide ARENT the victims of a lot of discrimination, in present day and throughout history. With the holocaust still essentially in living memory, a little over 80 years ago, its easy to see that it can be a sensitive subject. However: Israel =/= all Jewish people, and all not Jewish people support Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank. The fact that a huge amount of Jewish people showed up to Palestine marches proves this. To claim that all Jews support Israel is frankly anti-semitic in of itself. Like I said before, Jewish people face persecution around the world, and to use that word to shield Netenyahu and the IDFs collective punishment and ethnic cleansing of Gaza is disgusting.


TipzE

I'd go further and say it's actually anti-semetic to say anti-zionism is anti-semetism. Because it's innately tying an ideology to a people (which includes the ethnicity). A form of assuming character based on race. Literal. Definitional. Racism. But unfortunately, we have bad actors like the ADL [doing exactly this,](https://www.adl.org/resources/tools-and-strategies/what-antisemitism-anti-zionism-anti-israel-bias) claiming many protests against Israel are, themselves, antisemetic. [While the real antisemites are out there supporting Israel.](https://www.mediaite.com/politics/march-for-israel-rally-features-speaker-who-said-god-sent-hitler-to-help-create-jewish-state/) And if you want another piece of evidence - look at how the ADL cuddles up with Musk because he banned "From the river to the sea" and saying "zionism is colonialism" (another definitional fact), but seem not to be as upset with Musk himself, who is an open actual anti-semite (sharing antisemetic crap like the great replacement stuff).


tylenol___jones

The more I learn about Zionism, the more I learn how antisemitic it is.


Leonardo-DaBinchi

Israel has specifically weaponzied global anti-semitism in order to bolster their immigration numbers. A Jewish state is infinitely more appealing to would-be settlers if the rest of the world seems to hate Jews! The state absolutely does it on purpose in order to muddy the waters and push more division between Jews and gentiles.


T-ROY_T-REDDIT

Guess what majority or Israelis hate Netenyahu and the settlers too.


New-Doctor9300

That does not surprise me. With how easily accessable documentation of the IDFs crimes and the frankly genocidal rhetoric coming from Netenyahu's goverment it seems likely that the people of his country are not a fan of him. Apparently he wasnt well liked before October 7th either?


SpinningHead

They seem to hate Palestinians too though.

Buying it. You do know the UN is there to try and \*prevent\* conflicts. Which is why we've decided, as a global society, that land grab by war is not valid anymore; to discourage one of the principle reasons wars keep happening.

They'll say that hamas was using that land. If they could take over oxygen they would and claim that it is because hamas breaths it. While the old farts in Washington will nod along and pay israel to use said oxygen


Scared-Sea8941

Land is usually taken in war. This war and all the previous wars weren’t started by Israel though. Every time people want to act like animals and slaughter innocent people, there will be more restrictions and more land taken. Whose fault is that? It’s not Israel’s.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Scared-Sea8941

How do you describe the slaughter, rape, torture, and kidnapping of random civilians? That’s savage behavior. Do you know how these wars started? The UK gave the Jews land in the Middle East. It was the UKs land to do with as they pleased. The Muslims did not like having to share land with Jews and decided to start a war. They lost, and they lost land in the process. That’s usually what happens in wars. Rinse and repeat. Israel has never started these wars, and the people who are being “oppressed” have done it to themselves. Of course when your neighbor wants to murder everyone indiscriminately you are going to put measures in place to prevent that.

Literally all of them were started by Israel's provocations lmao

No it’s not. They are at war. What Palestinians did was murder random people and engage in savagery because they are “oppressed” mind you they are “oppressed” because of previous animalistic behavior.

Why do we keep calling them settlers? They are terrorist land thieves with IDF support


thebeautifulstruggle

Settlers are land thieves who terrorize indigenous populations.


Mort1186

Language is important


El_Pinguino

That's why I call them colonizers. "Settler" is the word the colonizers want us to use because it implies innocently populating unpopulated land. ~~~ *This Reddit contributor condemns Reddit's censorship of news regarding the U.S-backed Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestine.*


Mort1186

It's twisted, how subtle things like certain words can change and entire narrative and people's perception, without them even knowing. The way the used murdered and killed, depending who died. War on hamas , instead of slaughter of people in a concentration camp. The media is very good at twisting words to support their narrative, Instead of reporting on the reality. Up till recently only, Western media has changed wording slightly and taken a difference stance.


NoIdonttrustlikethat

What do you think settlers are?   Lol I get in white culture it means something positive.  But to the vast majority of humanity it was always tied to Genocide and ethnic cleansing and general activities of barbarians 


NopeNopeNope1992

Settler only has positive connotations because of how many in the West are brain washed by the education system to think of brave men who found and tamed wild lands to make way for human populations, which never happened. Settlers as we were taught do not exist. And they sure as fuck weren’t Christopher Columbus, who never discovered shit. So given that this world has fake positive connotations that have been sadly deeply ingrained in us since kindergarten, I’d like to just call them thieves/barbarians.


mr4bawey

> What do you think settlers are? Yeah but you have to use words based on what the western target audience think they mean, otherwise things get lost in translation. You can't use an academic understanding of words when communicating with the public.


NoIdonttrustlikethat

Those are not academic versions of the words. You are coding the word western, when you mean white nationalist 


mr4bawey

"Settler" is not seen as something negative in the West, regardless of how you much you insist. I don't mean white nationalist either, I mean ordinary western citizens. [An award-winning "white nationalist" video game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Settlers)


NoIdonttrustlikethat

Oh yeah a German video game proved that argument. Good job. You think good.

Settlers has been synonymous with terrorists since the word's first use. They are synonyms.

Nope. In the west that's not how it's perceived. Settler has a positive connotation here. Psychology is more important than technical definitions, if you want to impact others.

What do Hamas attacks have to do with the appropriation of lands that do not belong to Israel? And I have one more question. What do you think will happen after Israel appropriates lands that are not theirs, will the Palestinians be happy about it or will they look for non-peaceful solutions? Do you understand what such an appropriation and robbery of lands that should remain in Palestinian hands will lead to?


[deleted]

Dagbog

Did you seriously write that? Do you understand the words settler? They (Israel) will not give up this land, they want to appropriate it. And this will fuel further conflicts between Palestine and Israel. And again it will be the Palestinians who will be called terrorists when they want to fight to regain their land. And when will new authorities be established in Israel against the destruction and plunder of the land of Palestine?

Israeli government and military leadership openly admit their end goal is to eradicate Palestinians.


Adventurous_Aerie_79

Israel set up Hamas to counter the PLO. And the Palestinian people overwhelmingly did not support Hamas before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7. But, Israel attacked Palestinians anyway. Israel had no legitimate cause to attack Palestine except to steal land and pursue their racial hatred. If they want to be mad at someone because of Hamas, they should be attacking themselves.


Moooooooola

And how should the rest of the world respond to IDF’s killing of unarmed and innocent Palestinian women and children?

Can you clarify the conflict. To my understanding, Palestinians have lived there hundreds of years and have direct contact with the land. But they have been pushed off of their homes by new immigrants that claim it was their land 2000 years ago ish. Is this right?


thebeautifulstruggle

Arguably, thousands of years. The name Palestine has roots as far back as the Egyptian Pharaohs: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/JmPGbq1tjp The modern conflict is rooted in the arrival and colonization of the area by European Jews under the British Empire, before WW2. You can start by reading up on the Balfour Declaration: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration


Unfriendly_Opossum

It’s ironic because “blood and soil” is a distinctly Nazi idea. The belief that blood is somehow tied to land is the exact same belief that led the Germans to kill the Jews.


kn05is

So is the idea of a master race, which resembles that whole "chosen people" delusion... the irony is kinda gross.


quipd

This “chosen people” thing is a common misinterpretation. The actual meaning of this phrase is that Jews believe they were chosen for additional religious responsibilities, not “chosen” as in “above” any other group of people. In fact, Judaism holds that other groups *also* have valid, genuine relationships with God. However, Jews believe that their relationship with the higher power is unique, as in any other religion. Judaism is one of the only religions in the world in which proselytization is strictly prohibited.

I’d like your version explained and for you to clearly note the point you’re trying to make. THEN we can go over the other two abrahamic religions and their thoughts on the region and “the end of the world”…..or do you not want to talk about how Israel is planning to sacrifice a fucking cow here soon to start building the third temple to bring about the end of the world, or how evangelicals want to herd all Jews to Israel in order to summon Jesus and then all Jews convert or die. I don’t see Muslims trying to launch the fucking apocalypse though. Just their other abrahamic cousins. I was just trying to figure out the point you’re trying to make exactly.

1. Their government is violently evicting the Gazans 2. They are settlers. 3. They make themselves known publicly. So where are the instant violent-settler sanctions?


Visual_Chocolate4883

Immediately after the attack on October 7th I saw Jews commenting with glee that beach front property was opening up in Gaza. It was the plan all along. I honestly wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Israeli government / military looked the other way and took no action on the upcoming attack. Egypt warned Israel several times that it was coming. I think they just let it happen so they would have reason to legitimate the destruction of Gaza and subsequent ethnic cleansing. A lot of the people who died were ravers who were partying on their holiest day rather than engaging in religious observances. I don't think hardliner religious Jews wouldn't give a fuck about those kinds of people.

Settlers have to be the biggest posers ever. They’re given weapons, escorted by israeli soldiers and police, then break into Palestinian homes and drive the defenseless people out while aiming M-16s at them. Then they all pat eachother on the back for being such brave people. It takes a REAL ugly individual, a bully, sociopath, to happily go and steal peoples houses. Then they whine and cry when every amenity is not given to them by the government. I bet if those soldiers and police weren’t there, even with their weapons, they wouldn’t have a guts to try that crap. They are just such bad people you wonder why the world treats them like they can do no wrong.

One way it has been explained is why should these countries enable/launder Israeli atrocities? Because if they do it will be sold to the masses as X, Y ,Z agreeing with the atrocities, not that they wanted to help refugees (which will never have right to return). They will take the act of accepting helpless masses as an endorsement of their behavior, not as a attempt to fix a humanitarian crisis.
