But I thought it’s anti-semitic to suggest Israel and the Israeli populace are unqiuely evil?

[–] Malkhodr@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, they aren't uniquely evil. I'm sure if you polled US white frontier settlers at the times if expansion, you'd see a similiar overwhelming support for the wars on Mexico.

Similarly you'd probably see German settlers in Poland and Eastern Europe demonstrate this trend aa well.

Settlers in the process of expanding their settler colony are most likely all distinctly despicable.

Exactly. My read of it is, the main difference is how publicized the genocide is in progress this time around, which plays into a narrative that israel is some kind of anomaly - but in actuality, they're following the same general playbook as earlier colonialism but with some modernization to the tactics. So, as you say, it's despicable (to say the least) but it's not unique at all. Their material interests as settlers point them straight toward dehumanization and genocide; they are in a place they don't belong that wasn't offered to them and are trying to make it theirs on a large scale, which means they have to manufacture a worldview that says it somehow is theirs and that they deserve to have it, even if by force (in this case, zionism). Doesn't make it the least bit okay, but that's the kind of system they're immersed in.
