>> #Nakba IS an ethnic cleansing
You gave a Wikipedia link. I quoted a well-researched serious essay by a University lecturer who traced the origin of the usage of the word. Did you read it? It’s not “#Nazi-inspired #bigotry.”
#Syrian intellectual Constantin #Zureiq published a passionate #lament of the #Arab failure to defeat #Israel, The Meaning of the Disaster [#Nakba], giving birth to the word that would be used from as a shorthand for the traumatic #Arab defeat in that war.

>> #Zionism is predicated on hate
That is #projection and #HolocaustEnvy .
Zionism is a movement to find home for #Jews who faced #ForcedDisplacement MULTIPLE times ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111494007586354401
>> assuming people deserve mistreatment
NO, people don’t deserve mistreatment. But people also don’t deserve to be targets of surprise rocket launches and suicide bombings on civilians.
>> Displacing people doesn't make you righteous
It doesn’t. #Displacement is not uniquely Palestinian

>> rewrite of "the Jew cries out as he strikes you"
#HolocaustDenial and #HolocaustInversion
You decry #Israel’s defense as aggression while denying #Hamas #Oct7 attacks on civilians.
#Nakba literally means #catastrophe. The meaning evolved from catastrophe of #Arab defeat to catastrophe of #Palestinian #displacement
This is a story of #Arab-#Palestinian aggression not #victimhood.
