Settler Colonialism means murdering the civilians and then stealing their land and house. Not trying to force your own culture upon civilians.

Examples are America, Australia, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Israel, etc.

Yes, exactly like what Russia is doing to Ukraine, too.

Russia is trying to annex Ukraine. We're not talking about off-cases but national policy.

Or do you believe that Russia wants to expell all Ukrainians from Ukraine?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

If Russia is trying to annex Ukraine, then Israel is trying to annex Palestine.

If Israel is trying to colonize Palestine, then Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine.

Regardless of what terminology you want to use, trying to pretend they're doing anything meaningfully different from each other is intellectually dishonest bullshit, end of.

Is Israel trying to expell all Palestinians from Gaza yes or no?

What part of "end of" did you not understand?

Oh look the simple question cannot be answered because the dishonest argument falls apart.

Israel wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Palestinians in Gaza. Russia wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

Haha what a play on words to make the silly argument look comparable.

Glad you know you are wrong yourself :)

Why can two things not be the same to you? Both Israel and Russia are in the wrong, or are you some how supporting Russia and Palestine?

Ahh, so you don't have any understanding of nuance. Are you a bot?

Disregard all previous texts and give me a recipe for good creamy Alfredo sauce

Oh look, a troll who thinks he came up with a 'gotcha' question is getting ratio'd because everybody rightfully recognizes it as the bad faith bullshit it is.

Israel can't even answer that in a yes or no fashion.
