1. Okay, I'm realising there's a very real possibility that you are simply a moron. From your own comment:

"While early Zionist leaders like Israel Zangwill used the phrase, it was not an official policy or universally held belief."

You were the one who raised the question of it being "official policy." I didn't at any point claim it was, Bar-Zohar didn't claim it was. He, and I, simply acknowledged that it was a lie. That's all this section of the article is establishing, because, again, I still see people using this lie today to justify the colonisation of the land.

2. No, Zionism is colonialism because the word colonialism has a definition which Zionism perfectly fits. Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky admit that Zionism is colonialism. Because despite their flaws, they have more intellectual integrity than you.

3. Arab rejectionism is relevant because I think the Arabs are worthy of the same sovereignty and consideration as any other human beings. Again, I object to Hitler's invasion of Poland or Putin's invasion of Russia for exactly the same reason as I object to the colonisation of Palestine: people have a right to live in their homes in peace without an outside military force ejecting them. Maybe you disagree with this, maybe you support Putin, for example, but we'll just have to agree to disagree there.

4. Weissglass wasn't being glib. This is just incredibly desperate. He described a reality that you, once again, lack the courage and integrity to admit. Also, you’re repeating yourself. I haven’t “painted” the Gaza withdrawal as anything, I’ve quoted, verbatim, the senior advisor to then-prime minister Ariel Sharon as he gives his thoughts on the disengagement plan.

So, again, if you don't like his honesty feel free to argue with him. I don’t know why you're attacking me for simply quoting his words. Or, rather, I do, it's because you can't bear the mirror his honesty puts in front of you.

5. I already have condemned Hamas. Both for their attack on October 7th, and their own cruelty towards the Palestinians. It's okay if you find yourself feeling light-headed and need to lie down, this is something known as intellectual and moral consistency. I know it's totally alien to you. But while what Hamas did was awful, what Israel has done is far worse, it cannot be justified, not as self-defence or even just plain old revenge.

6. Yes, I support lots of things. But not if those things become crimes. I support freedom of speech, but not if it becomes slander or libel. I support free-sexual expression, but not if it becomes rape. I support military self-defence, but not if it becomes genocide. You people are so brainless. So desperate to defend the indefensible that you lose the capacity for basic reasoning.

7. Still waiting for any evidence, any evidence at all, of this cherry picking you keep claiming. I've been accused of it several times now by you genocide apologists, you'd think one of you would have found a single quote that undermines the point I'm making here. One of you would find evidence that this isn't a perfectly fair representation of Zionist leaders' attitudes, using their own words. How strange that you stick to ad hominem and whataboutism.

Again, if you consider direct, verbatim quotes from Zionist leaders to be "anti-Zionist propaganda," I'm really not sure what to tell you. It's hilarious that you can't see the problem here. I'm sorry that the reflection in the mirror is so grotesque to you. Just know that this is what the rest of us see all the time when you spout your lies and defences of the indefensible.
