The narrative of an Israel constantly offering its hand out in peace is a revisionist fantasy. Time and time again, Israel chose to reject regional peace offers with the goal of maximizing its territorial expansion.

Attempts to justify the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by claiming Palestinians are Arabs who arrived in the 7th century are not only despicable, but reveal a shocking ignorance about the history of the Middle East.

The argument that Palestinians would have had a state had they accepted the 1947 partition plan shows a complete disregard for history, and attempts to shift blame onto the natives for refusing their colonization.

Israel's self-defense narrative of the 1967 war is convenient, but revisionist nonsense. The political and diplomatic record at the time show each of its pretexts for launching a sneak attack on Egypt had no basis in reality.

Unfortunately for Zionists, the biggest obstacle to rebranding Zionism from a colonial ideology into a movement for self-determination is that the writings of Zionist founders are easily accessible.

It is often claimed by Israel apologists that certain politicians, such as Netanyahu, are the problem with Israeli politics today. This claim completely ignores how Israeli politics have always been fascist and colonial towards Palestinians.

The arcanization of Palestine serves to obfuscate the reality on the ground. It treats Palestine as 'exceptional' in an attempt to justify things you would never condone in different contexts under the guise of 'nuance'.

Israeli settler colonialism cannot be justified or tolerated, regardless of whatever historical claims are made. Boiling the history of Palestine down into a refutation of modern ethno-nationalist claims does a disservice to our real and multifaceted history.

The idea that Palestinians sabotaged the "peace process" by rejecting Israeli offers is propaganda designed to stop you from asking about the content of said offers.
