Palestinians: How would you integrate Israelis into a binational state?




She hesitated stated the Israelis and Jews should live together but stated the State will be “ for the Palestinians “. When asked his to live together she mentioned stopping checkpoints but didn’t mention the decision to prevent Jews from praying at the Western Wall. Every time you post I get a good laugh. It’s better then watching TV.

Why Palestine Matters: The Struggle to End Colonialism
edited by Noushin Darya Framke and Susan Landau, Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA) (2018)

Why Palestine Matters: The Struggle to End Colonialism, a new study guide distributed by the Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA), represents a significant breakthrough for faith-based groups acting as advocates for Palestinian rights. The guide pinpoints settler colonialism as the underlying basis for Israeli apartheid while also advocating vigorously for an intersectional approach to unify struggles for human rights.

Why does a focus on colonialism matter? For one, it undermines the seemingly “common sense” narrative of Israel as the savior of the Jewish people following the Holocaust during World War II and instead places the largely Western support for the fledgling state in the context of empire.

The history of settler-colonial societies illustrates a pattern of controlling the land and expelling or eliminating the indigenous population. This study guide shows how the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians that began in 1948 and continues today is part of that pattern. That the original imprimatur for the state of Israel came from British colonialism’s Balfour Declaration of 1917 is hardly coincidental.

Right?! And after a few hundred years you can even pretend that the indigenous peoples didn't exist or no longer exist or aren't "really" what they say they are. Even when they are right there in front of you. Sooner or later, if you work the story long enough and hard enough, the colonizers even become an indigenous peoples. Because they have been there for a really really really long time. And built a shrine over someone else's holy places and historical places.
