@MarshaWildhaber [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : Far from being a harmless #woke myth, the fallacy about Jews stealing land doesn’t merely enable slander; it is the foundation on which most forms of anti-Semitic hate, delegitimization and terrorism rest. Jews are indigenous to #Israel. Anti-Zionism = #Antisemitism. [URL redacted]

Context #NewspaperILOnlineTheTimesOfIsraelTOIRafiGassel [Muckrack] [Wikipedia] "Both Palestinians and Jews have thousands of years of history in the Levant region, this is an objectively true historical fact that is often denied by advocates of the Jewish and Palestinian people in order to try to win points for their case. This however does a great disservice to both groups and makes solving the Israeli Palestinian conflict impossible. However, I would posit that accepting these facts, that both people are in fact indigenous to the same land is the key to being able to unravel one of history's most complex conflicts." https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/israelis-and-palestinians-are-both-indigenous-and-why-that-matters/ #ToponymMediterraneanEasternLevant [Wikipedia]
#AdvocacyUSAntiDefamationLeagueADL "Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel. The vast majority of Jews around the world feel a connection or kinship with Israel, whether or not they explicitly identify as Zionists, and regardless of their opinions on the policies of the Israeli government. ... Being a Zionist is distinct from supporting the policies of the government of Israel. Zionism is a big tent movement that includes those across the spectrum from progressives, moderates and conservatives and those who are apolitical. There are Zionists who are critical of Israeli policies, just as there are Zionists who rarely voice disagreement with the Israeli government. There are diverse views among Zionists about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, about how to promote peace, whether to support a two-state solution, and about approaches to Israeli settlements. Being critical of Israeli policies is no more anti-Zionist than being critical of American policies is anti-American. Zionism does not preclude support for Palestinian self-determination and statehood. For some Zionists, support for a two-state solution is the realization of self-determination for Jews and Palestinians alike." [Anti-Defamation League] #NarrativeUtopiaHomeland
Supplementary "the expansion of the Israeli settlements in the OPT, which has been declared as a 'flagrant violation of international law' by Security Council #OrgIntlUNSecurityCouncil resolution 2334 (23 December 2016), disrupts the peace process and threatens the Palestinian State formation process" https://unctad.org/topic/palestinian-people/The-question-of-Palestine i.e. #PhenomnColonialismSettler
Addendum the "Jews are indigenous to Israel" claim made here appears exclusionary as a form of #PoliticsNationalismEthno - where Jews have rights, which are exclusive to them and therefore nullify claims made by all other group who might have similar rights.
#ReasoningFallacyFalseEquivalence i.e. conflating Jews with Israel (when the former denotes a culture and religion and the latter a sovereign state) i.e. being critical of Israel doesn't assume criticism of Jewish people (of whom only some are Israelis). This statement is also a #ReasoningFallacyFormalNonSequitur through claiming that criticism of Israel; presumably of its #PhenomnPolicyForeign in relation to #ToponymEastMiddlePalestineOPT etc. legitimises terrorism.

Context #NMQAAlJazeeraHamidDabashi "Right now, in their eyes, 'CRT' is profanity, a curse word. It represents the latest attack on their sense of self, their 'homeland'. Now, what exactly is Critical Race Theory? It does not really matter. It means what Donald Trump told them it means. It means a bad thing. It means white people are in danger. It means if Americans do not re-elect Trump, or another equally reactionary and racist Republican, then Black people, Latinx, feminists, Marxists, Jews, Muslims, gays, transgender people and all those godless commies will come and take over their country. Critical Race Theory - a school of thought that holds that major institutions in the US are inherently racist and constructed by their nature to perpetuate white supremacy - would have remained an entirely obscure academic preoccupation were it not for Trump and his all-out bigoted warfare to win a second term. Today, Critical Race Theory is a discussion topic in the US only because Trump decided to attack it for exposing his and his supporters' incurable racism." https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/6/29/what-is-critical-race-theory-and-why-are-racists-afraid-of-it #PhenomnColonialismSettler #NarrativeUtopiaHomeland #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #SlurWhiteSupremacy

Over the past year, it has morphed from an obscure academic discussion point on the left into a political rallying cry on the right. Yet, even those who condemn or seek to ban critical race theory in schools often struggle to define what it is. Real-world examples of students being indoctrinated in its principles are difficult to find." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/so-much-buzz-but-what-is-critical-race-theory #HandleFacebookStandUpVirginia [forum]

Addendum I'd be curious to know exactly who 'they' are in this scenario as the person tweeting here clearly imagines that colonisation was some else's project (and that they therefore have no historical responsibility for its consequences or obligations to its #IdentityFirstNations - despite likely benefiting through #PhenomnColonialismSettler [Wikipedia] colonisation). #PhenomnResponsibilityHistorical #NarrativeFrontierManifestDestiny #TheoryDeterminismHistoricalPresentism [Wikipedia]

Supplementary #OrgUSMIJimCrowMuseumOfRacistMemorabilia [Wikipedia] "A common belief in the contemporary United States, often unspoken and unconscious, implies that everyone has a right to use Indians as they see fit; everyone owns them. Indianness is a national heritage; it is a fount for commercial enterprise; it is a costume one can put on for a party, a youth activity, or a sporting event. This sense of entitlement, this expression of white privilege, has a long history, manifesting itself in national narratives, popular entertainments, marketing schemes, sporting worlds, and self-improvement regimes." https://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/native/homepage.htm [pop culture wiki] Also: Nancy J.

Context #WebsiteTheConversationHunterKnight "Conservative leader Erin O'Toole issued a public apology in December: 'I said that the residential school system was intended to try and 'provide education.' It was not. The system was intended to remove children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures.' He was referring to comments he made in a meeting with a Conservative club at Ryerson University, where he defended Egerton Ryerson in response to substantial debate and protest surrounding Ryerson's legacy. O'Toole's apology gives us an opportunity to think about Ryerson's understanding of education and the purposes of schooling in a settler colonial society. As critics rightly noted, it is true that the primary objectives of residential schools were not to educate children. It is also true that these institutions were part of Ryerson's broader conception of schooling as key to what he foresaw as the evolution of Canada into a 'civilized' white and culturally British nation." https://theconversation.com/egerton-ryerson-racist-philosophy-of-residential-schools-also-shaped-public-education-143039 #IRLHistoricalFigureEgertonRyerson [Wikipedia] #PhenomnColonialismSettler #LiteralSchoolResidential #ToponymAmericaNorthCanada #IdentityFirstNations #OrgClassifPPCAConservativePartyCPCErinOToole [Wikipedia] #PhenomnCulturalAdjustmentCulturalAssimilation [Wikipedia] #PhenomnCulturalAdjustmentAcculturation [Wikipedia]
