And again I find myself wondering by what purported authority it is that Israel "approves" the construction of settlements on someone else's land.
That'd be like reading that the Mexican government had "approved" the construction of Mexican settlements in Texas.
That's what the entirety of the State of Israel is: settlements on someone else's land.
It's also what the countries comprising the "New World" are as well, of course - from the Americas to Oceania. But it also describes Israel, and their colonization is ongoing today.
Fuck, I welcome them with open arms. Every immigrant, migrant, or "illegal" resident I've met has been magnitudes better than most every selfish conservative person continuing to ruin my ability to enjoy Texas. My family has been here for 3 generations and we do not recognize this state anymore.
The difference is that Mexican immigrants in the US aren’t trying to genocide existing residents and steal the entirety of their land. They just want to have a good life and coexist. That isn’t enough for Zionists though.
No, but that does describe how Americans treated Native Americans - they genocided them and stole their land.
It's no surprise then that the United States supports Israel doing the same in Palestine. The West has a long history of unrepentant colonialism - Israel is just a continuation of that legacy
