      You inserted brackets “[the Jews]”, but the text refers to Zionists. This is not the same. One could be interpreted as anti colonial, while your edits implies it’s against an ethnicity

        OP copy pasted from Wikipedia, your point is valid. Just wanted to point out it’s not OP who inserted brackets, someone else is to blame.

        I mean it could have the same implied or real meaning. Did they mean to imply that they’d drive all Jews to the sea or would some Jews have been allowed to stay?

      Two nitpicks:

      • that was said by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, who is Egyptian, not Palestinian
      • there’s a huge difference between a threatened expulsion of some colonizers (words) and actual genocide of the indigenous population (actions)

        Oh they tried, what do you think would have happened if Israel lost their first war?

          You’ve already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn’t, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.

      Arab leaders being bad does neither make the Palestinian People bad nor does it make “the west” better.

      That is scary but also Israel is a Christo-fascist white colonial settler project to establish a base of operations and influence in the strategically important middle east.

      It may not be an individual citizen’s responsibility, just like a Canadian citizen isn’t responsible for the 60s Scoop, or an Americans for Manifest Destiny. But no progress can ever be made unless those of us who are settlers acknowledge the sins of the past, and how we perpetuate them today.
