As far as I can tell, an equivalent would be more like if (a few) BLM protesters were saying “fuck Europeans” and then someone is making an argument that doing so may not be a productive way of dealing with the oppression and systemic violence beyond the basics of recognizing that yes, what is now considered “white” settlers came over from Europe to what is now called “The United States”.

In reference to Water Bowl Slime’s post, I am curious though for an analysis that investigates how exactly diaspora Jewish culture reproduces zionism and enforces it in Jewish circles. Within israel itself, I’m assuming most of the reproduction of it is stuff that is standard for settler colonialism with some Jewish characteristics overlaid, but that could be wrong. It’s also worth noting that Jewish diaspora in the US have allies to be found in settler-colonialism who are not Jewish and likely have learned things from them, in terms of how to reproduce it and enforce it in the culture. But again, a detailed investigation into the how may prove enlightening. One reason I see to make sure we’re emphasizing the contribution of settler-colonialism itself as a broader read of history, is to avoid aiding the narrative that the US is somehow “taken over” by AIPAC, as if its support for israel is beyond the control even of its power brokers. When the reality is that two settler-colonial entities working together makes perfect sense and we should tear at the fakery of liberalism whenever it tries to pretend like some decorum and lip service means the US has moved past colonialism.
