Israel is a passenger train hurtling off a cliff driven by an insane evil train conductor as many of the passengers attempt to scramble to the front and defeat the evil train conductor so they can speed the train's hurtling trajectory off the cliff up, what a living nightmare.
The vast majority of Israeli society support the ethnic cleansings, they aren't trying to stop it
Its spelled 'genocide' dear. 'Ethnic cleansing' is whitewashing weaselspeak marketing language to excuse genocide.
I'm talking about every aspect of ethnic cleansing used by Zionism since the early 1900's, that includes genocide. The books by Ilan Pappe, Nur Masalha, Rashid Khalidi, and even Sara M. Roy
You're thinking of genocide denial, such as when people say Israel 'may have committed war crimes' if even acknowledging it at all instead of calling each and every victim 'Hamas' as if that's some ultimate justification
Oh shit, you quoted Wikipedia. Guess I can't argue.
The correct word is genocide.
Stop being pedantic. I'm talking about every aspect of the settler colonialist project, from economic to eradication.
Acting like Ilan Pappe was whitewashing history in his book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, when he details the Nakba, is fucking ridiculous.
I haven't read it, know nothing about the author or their intent. Maybe they used a term they expected to get past censors; maybe they're a shitlib at heart, maybe the publisher changed it and they were mad as fuck. Plenty of possibilities.
My statement, I believe; stands.
Do you often find yourself standing with your fingers in you ears saying 'bla bla bla I can't hear you' when confronted with a slightly different view point?
It is a genocide, my point is that the Zionist project's goal of forced expulsion is far more encompassing, both in methods and timeframe. Which historians have gone into much detail about within their decades of works.
No, but then I wouldn't know if it did; I wouldn't be able to hear.
Fair point
It's almost as if English doesn't have multiple terms for just about everything.
With different connotation etymology fdeep meanings precise contours,yeah!
Israel isn't at risk of destruction, and most of the people in Israel are fine with the direction they're headed.
Who says this is a literal cliff and not a metaphorical precipice of inhumanity?
Verb tense and publication century.
Are... Are the passengers that are trying to stop the train in the room with us right now? ?
Also they're all either rapusing prisoners or training puppies to rape prisonwrs, while trying to crash the train
