You misspelled nazis
I don't get why so many people on here think "settlers" is a benign word.
During colonization settlers were responsible for genocidal massacres and land theft in Australia, Canada, US, Brazil, New Zealand, and elsewhere. Including some pretty famous ones like Trail of Tears.
What we are seeing in Palestine is what Settlers look like during the active colonization phase.
"settlers" is the perfect word to describe their social role. Far better than "Nazi" or "fascist" which ditch precision for emotional weight.
They are behaving as genocidal maniacs because of their social role within settler colonialism, not because each person believes in fascism or because they're just behaving "fascistly" or whatever.
They may be indistinguishable at times, but the word "settlers" paints quite an accurate picture of what is happening: Manifest Destiny or Lebensraum.
100$ Haaretz is going to publish a piece in 9~18 months showing how the missing kid either committed suicide, was killed by another settlers for some petty bullshit, or was killed in a false flag operation.
Ah, so that's why they keep calling them "settlers".
Cuz they're setting Gaza on fire.
I can only assume the 'L' is a typo.
It's also that this is literally colonialism. They are literally settlers. This is what settlers did in the colonial era.
Iran does a retaliatory attack against Israel, killing no one: international scandal.
Israeli mobs kills innocent Palestinians trying to get with their lives: nothing to see here.
You forgot to mention the soldiers protecting the mob too! If that isn't the definition of state sponsored terrorism I don't know what is.
Do you condemn Hamas! Say it! /s
Kind of sounds like why and how the prosperous black neighborhood in Tulsa was burned down. The Tulsa Race Massacre. Y'know, an atrocity?
They're not settlers they're Raiders
Same thing really.
Zionists are just nazis
Wait... You're telling me a movement based on building a nationalist ethnostate via displacement and genocide is fascist? It cannot be!
And they have the full support of Joe Biden.
Savages...
