    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.
