Every 50 bison they killed they celebrated a bisontennial.

The official reason was the Bison herds were capable of destroying the fields of entire farms. We never stopped to ask if we should have been farming there in the first place.

They also throw in God's name to get the religious rubes on board.

If I thought some other place would take me, I would.

Go back to Ireland/Scotland? Sure. I need to bring news of what fun things Americans can do with potatoes back to the homeland anyways.

It's kind of disingenuous.

It portrays Orthodox Jewishness as being responsible for genocidal Zionism when Orthodox Jewishness has pretty much always been vehemently critical of both Zionism and the creation of Israel.

The Jewish Zionists that perpetrated the Nakba looked no different than their fellow Europeans.

that was a fun watch

I am kind of annoyed by the ismnisms lately.

Which hardly matters when people are taking the homes of people living there currently and killing them. What difference does it make if some of someone's ancestors centuries ago lived in that general part of the world?

You could justify European colonialism in Africa under similar logic, on the grounds that since humans evolved there before spreading out to the rest of the world, all Europeans have ancestors that lived on that continent at some point in the past and would merely be "reclaiming" it.

Some did, but the whole point of Israel was a place for European countries to send their Jewish populations.

People who even if they were also ethnically Semitic, were descended from people who voluntarily left the area generations ago.

They could have immigrated there, instead European governments just declared it was theirs now.

Like, imagine if every American with Irish heritage were granted birthright citizenship there and the people who never left are shoved down into an ever shrinking slice of land. That's what's happening

Jews did live in Palestine/ Middle East

Look up the history of the Beta Israelis / Ethiopian Jews and their treatment in the reconstituted state of Israel.

Compare that to the treatment of Afrikaner Israeli converts emigrating from South Africa and Russian/Ukrainian Jews fleeing violence in the current Russo-Ukraine War.

You'll notice one of the groups was targeted for mandatory sterilization and it wasn't the white folks.

The Jewish settlers didn't live in Palestine, they lived in Europe and then moved to Palestine to steal the land. They're white.

Just because one ancestor a dozen generations ago lived somewhere doesn't mean you have a right to evict the actual people living on that land.

Pretty sure modern Israel was founded by western powers as a place to send Jews after WWII.

Anyone mentioning the phrase "3000" years ago is saying it. The Zionist movement is less than 150 years old. The rest of that history is made up.

Yep, it was the only habitable parcel of land in the world with zero inhabitants until 1832. Jewish people and Palestinians both saw this weird chunk of land and realized they could just move there since no one else was there.

Why is that relevant?

He's a Trump fanboy from the US who gets his kicks masquerading as a far-left liberal.
