I feel like they should stop calling them “settlers”. “Settler” implies the little villagers in Civ or Catan, pioneering untamed lands.
These people are invaders. They’re invading someone else’s land. I don’t know where this “settler” word came from but it doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t like it.
Settlers is just the white washed euphemism for colonizers. Same thing but hiding the colon fucking part.
I mean no historically settlers are murderers.
Same goes for the “IDF”. In reality they’re the Israeli Occupation Forces, so IOF is much more fitting
Calling them “settlers” is a major part of how all of MSM is complicit in the genocide.
They are state-sanctioned terrorists, who violently force Palestinians from their homes to steal and colonize their land.
“Barbarian horde” backed by a foreign empire
I agree, but i also wonder if settler was never a good word, and we just thought it was.
