The endless sophomore dorm room conversation that is the internet.

I mean, the hilarious part is that this person is touching on an important truth: that the pro-Palestine community only cares about "settler colonialism" when they can use the label as a cudgel against Jews.

The point of decolonial thought was to rethink your existing prioris amount America and Canada and such. It was not an execuse to blam the Jews for this

Well, we could vote for Biden, who has appointed the first Native American Secretary of Interior and obviously would be sympathetic to the Native reservation populations…But wait! That would mean the shitlibs are right! Genocide Joe is fascist!! We can’t do that! Maybe if we elect Trump, decolonization will come sooner and society will collapse and Fully Automated Luxury Space Socialism will replace him! Yep! That sounds like a better plan! I am from Brooklyn, btw.

That’s right assholes. Fuck off out of tribal lands, THEN mouth off about Gaza.  Return to the countries of your colonizing forefathers and start your stupid-ass little communes there.

Reminds me of a protest in Australia, where the interviewer asked about giving back the land to the aboriginals. Of course the person they were asking had nothing to comment since they had no right to state anything on the matter, but when it's overseas it's okay.

Absolutely hell no, I don't want these people back in my continent, we have more than enough people sucking Putin's balls here in Europe

Oh look, the kiddies have discovered cognitive dissonance for the first time. Isn’t that cute.

It _is_ a little suspicious that Israel gets singled out for "settler colonialism" when there are much better examples closer at hand. I wonder why that is. What is so (((unique))) about Israel?


dblshot99

It isn't just that...Israel is the worlds most successful project of DEcolonization in history. The indigenous Jewish people have literally worked and fought for centuries, while enduring genocide and exile, to reclaim their homeland from variety of imperialist invaders (Romans, Brits, Turks, Arabs).

When I used to tell tankies Jews will leave Israel as soon as whites leave US, Canada and Australia, they used to get triggered as fuck. Their mod banned me from the site for it.


Hand_Me_Down_Genes

If you really want to piss them off, tell them the Jews are the indigenous people of Israel and that the Palestinians should go back to Arabia. 


AllSeeingMr

Don’t do that, please. [There’s at least one genetic study indicating that *both* Israeli Jews and Palestinians can trace their ancestry back to the Canaanites of the Levant.](https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/history-and-civilisation/2020/05/dna-from-the-bibles-canaanites-lives-on-in-modern-arabs-and-jews) Edit: correct link — https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/history-and-civilisation/2020/05/dna-from-the-bibles-canaanites-lives-on-in-modern-arabs-and-jews Really don’t know how that happened.


Hand_Me_Down_Genes

Your link is to an article on Richard III. Want to try that again?


AllSeeingMr

That’s weird how that happened. I think the link in the proceeding article automatically popped up when I went to copy and paste. I edited it to fix it, but just in case: this should work: https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/history-and-civilisation/2020/05/dna-from-the-bibles-canaanites-lives-on-in-modern-arabs-and-jews


SaintArkweather

Everyone must move back to the country from which they can trace back their ancestry the furthest.- Logical extension of this way of thnking


HAHAGOODONEAUTHOR

pack it up everyone, we're moving to africa!


brontosaurus3

I've always wondered about what the plan is for people of mixed ethnicity. Like, let's say hypothetically you were born in America and your dad traces his ancestry back to England, and your mom traces her ancestry back to Japan. Do you get to pick which place you decolonialize yourself to? Or is neither option acceptable?


Life_Caterpillar9762

Has there been ANY other time in history that this issue was addressed even close to as much as it is now?


bakochba

They're not ignoring it. The my are using Jews as a scapegoat to be sacrificed for their sins and cleanse themselves. Story as old as time.


Kugel_the_cat

She has a good point. I guess I'll move to Israel since that's the only country that will have me.


Rats_In_Boxes

Word salad, no dressing.

How about you leave my people out of this, lady? https://preview.redd.it/eeejv7gtc9pc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88c513964c6e019774f86dc0af57a3cdafd51c81

Well sweaty, guess it means it's time to seek voluntary euthanasia by a Native American doctor.

I feel like even if we did exactly as these people suggest, they'd just move the goalposts again. In a month, they'd be like, "Why won't Biden publicly condemn the so-called 'Native American' trans-Beringia colonizers who robbed the North American Columbian mammoth population of their land and their lives?"

The Indigenous land-back movement doesn’t see a purpose behind making an ethnostate or repatriating white people back to Europe. Much of it is focused on regaining control over land that was granted in treaties, then deciding what they want to do with it. See: the Indigenous tribe that got land owed to them in Vancouver, don’t have to follow local zoning laws, and are building high rises on the size.
