    And the first sentence of the article is a massive fucking lie

    Also

    Colonialism, once equated by the West with civilizing progress, became synonymous with iniquity.

    No it just got rebranded as “development” to depoliticize assimilation and genocide

    Then

    Israel as a colonial enterprise is “a significant category error.” It cannot apply to a conflict involving “two indigenous peoples.” It is misplaced given that the 20th-century influx of persecuted European Jews came from a historically indigenous “population of refugees not sent by any empire.”

    “Israel’s creation was endorsed by the United Nations.”

    In other words people love to play dumb about the UN and the international order.
