It’s maddening to find out that the scholar who first developed the idea that “Zionism is Settler Colonialism”, Fayez Sayegh, was a member of the Syrian Nazi Party during and immediately after the Holocaust, was an active participant in the Red Scare, using it to demonize Israel as a manifestation of a Global Communist Threat™️ through the height of the Cold War (true to his Nazi roots, accusing Israel of Judeo-Bolshevism) before switching to a Colonialism narrative when Post-Colonialism came in vogue in the 60s. And yet, the people I hear parroting the talking points of this anti-Communist, Ultranationalist Fascist-turned-scholar are the people who are constantly talking about how Liberal Progressives aren’t Communist enough and actually enemies because “Liberals will always side with Fascists”. Maddening.
If you’ve ever noticed how the “Zionism = Settler Colonialism” narrative eerily shares the core components of the far right’s Replacement Theory (that there are 1. Jews 2. conspiring to invade a given place and 3. replace the population with Jews), this is why; it’s because the idea that Zionism is Settler Colonialism came from a literal Nazi.
Amit Gabay z"l, 17 years old, was murdered by Hamas terrorists in his home in Kibbutz Re'im, in the brutal attack on the Israeli south on October 7, 2023. Amit was a beloved son, brother, grandson, friend. May he rest in peace.
עמית גבאי ז''ל (28.10.2005-7.10.2023) נרצח בביתו בקיבוץ רעים על ידי מחבלי חמאס ב7 באוקטובר, כ''ב תשרי, תשפ''ד. עמית השאיר אחריו הורים, עדי ונועם, אחות, עופרי, אח, עומר, סבים וחברים. יהי זכרו ברוך. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.
His close friend, Liam Or, was kidnapped that same day, and freed on November 29. After he was released, he found out that Gabay had been killed. “Gabay, my brother, we’ve been neighbors and best friends since age 0,” Or wrote on social media. “You accompanied me my entire life, from the baby house to kindergarten, school, high school, we were always brothers, there’s no other word.”
You became a political blog because you want to live out your dystopian fantasy. I became a political blog to defend my right to belong in the spaces that you’ve been desecrating with your absolutely disgusting antisemitism. We are not the same.
Shay Davidai has more guts (& integrity) in his pinky toe than all those american propali (Pro-Hamas Pro-Violence PRO-TERRORISM) radical leftist protesters COMBINED have ever had in their entire lives. Pathetic, Racist, VIOLENT Losers.
it’s insane to me that people are painting the protestors at columbia and yale as “anti-war.” in fact they are very much pro-war! they have cheered for iranian missiles and hamas rockets, shouted “october 7th will be every day” and “burn tel aviv to the ground.” they don’t want the war to end, they just want the side they support to succeed in killing more jews. absent that, they themselves are happy to harass and physically assault local jews that they can get their hands on.
