I’m using Google Translate to read your text, so I apologize for any miscommunication.
This conflict is territorial, religious, cultural and ethnic. To diminish the Zionist side of it to colonialism is a disservice to history, and ignores the history of antisemitism and nationalistic trends in 19th century in Europe, which influenced prominent Jewish leaders of the time.
This is just an example of the simplification I mentioned earlier.
@ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine [jo també utilitzo un traductor, hi ha força llengües al món més enllà de les hegemòniques (ergo: colonialistes)]
Per remarcar un detall de la teva aportació: els palestins són semites. No sé a què treu cap parlar d’antisemitisme pel què està succeint pròpiament a #Palestina.
Per cert, aviat no quedaran masses palestins, simplement per inanició, i no caldrà fer compendre al món tanta complexitat. Aviat serem més feliços, oi?

In 19th century Europe, antisemitism manifested mainly in the persecution of Jews. If Arabs lived there, I’m sure they would’ve suffered the same fate as their Semite brothers.
AFAIK there were almost 2 million Israeli-Arabs and nearly 3 million Palestinians living in the west bank, so they’re not going anywhere soon.
Personally, it brings me no joy when another human suffers, and I pray that the endless violence will cease ASAP 🙏
@ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine jo només entendre la justícia si es restitueix #Palestina i és Palestina qui decideix com s’ha de viure a Palestina –a més de deixar d’assassinar, destruir i ocupar (són fets abastament repetits) amb tot d’excuses “complexes”–.
Ara no és moment dels jocs de màscares. Ja no.
