THREAD #Auspol 🖤💛❤️ The parallel btwn Israel, USA & Australia lies in what scholars call the "Logic of Elimination." Unlike traditional colonialism, where a mother country extracts resources from a colony, settler-colonialism seeks to replace the indigenous population with a new settler society.

This framework creates a specific form of exterminationist racism that makes peace historically difficult to achieve. 1. The Logic of Elimination In all 3 cases, the settler society views the indigenous population not as a labor force to be exploited, but as an obstacle to be removed. #Auspol 🖤💛❤️
2. Dehumanization as a State Tool To justify physical destruction, the state must first categorize the indigenous group as "sub-human" or "existentially dangerous." #Auspol 🖤💛❤️
3. Why This Prevents Peace The inherent nature of settler-colonial racism creates structural barriers to a peaceful resolution: #Auspol 🖤💛❤️
The transition from racism to exterminationism occurs when the settler state determines that "management" of the indigenous pop. is no longer ok so physical removal or destruction is the only way to ensure state "purity" or "security." #Auspol 🖤💛❤️
IDF's & USA's use of disproportionate force & deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure cause's such extreme suffering to sentient beings. IDF's intentional and systematic destruction of homes and neighborhoods to make an area uninhabitable is part of IDF Dahiya Doctrine. #Auspol 🖤💛❤️
Structural Barriers to Peace This "exterminationist" logic creates a terminal obstacle to peace for several reasons: #Auspol 🖤💛❤️
