In reply to the discussion: BDS is a Settler Colonial Ideology [View all]Little Tich
(6,171 posts)12. Have you even read the OP?
In fact, the Muslim conquerors who replaced the indigenous Jewish and other populations are the settlers who colonized the area. Zionism is the liberation movement of the indigenous People of the region. That many centuries have passed since Arabs from Arabia and northern Africa settled the area through force does not change the fact that they are not the indigenous Peoples.
That passage is a blatant racist lie!

The term "indigenous" is a vague concept that seems to have lost its original meaning.

It seems as if you're trying to avoid saying that you think that Palestinians are not indigenous

Perhaps we could dispense with the customary insults and provide evidence for our claims instead?

Criticizing settlements is fine but calling it colonialism as if Jews don't belong....

I don't have a problem with legit criticism of settlements, but colonialism goes too far.

I'm not sure they're against the existence of Israel within the pre-1967 lines.
