This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

Yeah, like, the Book of Joshua is literally all about the Israelites invading Canaan and exterminating the indigenous people to settle the land because Yahweh promised the land to them and the Canaanites are infidels who don't matter to him.
Which we now know to be bullshit through archaeological evidence confirming that Israelite culture was already indigenous to the region and there was neither a period of slavery in Egypt, nor an Exodus from Egypt, nor a conquest of Canaan as they were already there.
Yet this story has been used to justify not just Zionist genocide, imperialism, and settler-colonialism but also Christian genocide, imperialism, and settler-colonialism.
I'd say this is a little inaccurate - the Israelite culture is an offshoot of the Canaanite culture from some 400 years after Israel was founded, based on the Canaanite scripture but with YHWH in place of El, and while there wasn't a period of slavery or exodus in Egypt, there does seem to have been one in Babylon after the Babylonian conquest.
The real issue of the both histories is that only about 20% of the population of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judea were enslaved, the other 80% stayed and after 2 millennia of cultural exchange ended up as Palestinians.
