(50,254 posts)they need to stop displaying what always sounds to Palestinian ears as a colonialist mindset...they need to stop with the "we're civilized and you're barbaric" memes, and with the idea that Zionism is there to bring modern life to a backward hellhole. Now that we live in the era in which "peace through victory" is impossible everywhere, it's not possible for one side to make peace with its opponents if it insists on treating its opponents as culturally inferior.
Don't want Zionism to be taken as imperialist? Tell the Israelis to stop sounding like Bwana.
Admit that Palestinians do have a real culture and that they have worked the land and created an identity for themselves(also, admit that the place was never "a land without people" . How hard is that?
