    That isn’t antisemetic, that’s anti-settler. Jewish immigration into Palestine was not a peaceful process, and 20 years before the PLO charter, 700,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed by Zionist militias. You can’t seriously be saying that the PLO was antisemetic because it didn’t think settlers were palestinian.

      I’m saying a massive amount of the Jews in Israel were also ethnically cleansed by largely the same people who ran the war in ‘48. It’s hard to take you seriously that you are concerned about ethnic cleansing when you’re overlooking that a huge amount of the Jews were displaced into Israel by the exact same event as the catastrophe. Saying they have no right to be there and they need to leave is just as much calling for a genocide as if Israel told all of Gaza “this isn’t your land and if you stay here, you die”

      Also, note that they’re not telling all settlers to go. Only Jewish settlers.

      C. S. Jarvis, Governor of the Sinai from 1923-1936, noted: ‘This illegal immigration was not only going on from the Sinai, but also from Trans-Jordan and Syria and it is very difficult to make a case out for the misery of the Arabs if at the same time their compatriots from adjoining States could not be kept from going in to share that misery.’
