what with all these white jewish people in the imperial core who suddenly just NEED to go live in the middle east and commit war crimes and genocide along the way? Just… go buy a house in Arizona or something if you REALLY want to live in the desert? These people who are moving into Israel presumably had a place to live before moving across the planet. Why do they specifically need to move to Israel of all places? Who the fuck is waking up in the morning thinking “I need to murder brown children so I can live in that very specific bit of desert on the other side of the world”?
So instead of going after the underlying issue of why a genocide was being committed against a (generally) unprotected minority group, they just shifted some shit around on the pecking order and now the same thing is give or take happening with some roles reversed?
Yeah basically. There was already prior political pressure from the Zionist movement before WW2, and when the UK decided to get the fuck out of Mandatory Palestine they signed off on Zionists’ plans there. The UN was then quite generous to Israel in the partition plan, and hoped that they could live in harmony with the Arab in an economic union with equal rights and everything. But then Israel, with it’s population and army swelling from post-war immigration, realized that there would basically be no consequences if they just took more Palestinian land by force (insert “it’s free real estate” meme). And well, Israel has been trying to ethnically cleanse the territory ever since.
