Arab colonialism generally adheres to the same blueprint of land theft, displacement, and genocidal violence. When Islam plants a mosque somewhere, it believes this is conquered land and it's theirs forever, no matter what Temple or Church it builds on top of.
What sets it apart, however, is that it also attempts to project its own abuses onto its victims.
Rather than acknowledge their glaringly obvious 1400-year uber-colonial history, they will invert perceptions of history and reality in an attempt to self-indigenize.
They then usurp the cultures, stories, and legacies of indigenous peoples for themselves (but only the convenient parts - you'll never see Palestinians claim Judas) and disenfranchise the people they stole it from.
They will furiously deny that their ancestors were, in fact, colonizers who conquered their way on land on which they now occupy. Instead, they will frame themselves as native peoples who simply embraced Arab identity/converted to Islam, while the actual indigenous peoples are framed as nothing more than a pathetic band of rejects and cosplayers whose ancestors either never lived on the land to begin with, or were rightfully cast out (or have been cast out for so long that they have lost all right to return).
I can think of few other colonizers that do this. And because this behavior deviates from what we typically understand as "baseline colonialism", it becomes immeasurably harder to identify and more complex to counter.
One year ago, Hamas animals attacked innocent Israeli teenagers and children. They were doing nothing more than dancing and singing at a music festival, like teenagers all over the world. This attack was sinister and unprovoked. Hamas terrorists followed with more kidnapping, rape, torture and executions in the days October 7th. Know the truth.
It’s really depressing that people hate Jews more than they hate r@pists, murderers, and kidnappers.
That’s really depressing.
Israel is winning. Bombing campaigns work, for better or worse. They worked against the Nazis. They worked against ISIS. And they are working against Hamas and their ability to shoot rockets by the thousands at innocent Israeli chilren in civilian population centers.
