    Not really. Zionists are doing what they’ve done since the first Crusade, because that’s where the roots of settler colonialism come from and what the function of Israel actually is for white Christians. Bronze age conquest was very different, when you got conquered by Greeks the only thing that really changed was who you pay taxes to, what trading markets you participate in, and whose laws you follow. The genocidal settler project is actually more modern.

    This attempt to root Zionism in ancient history is actually Zionist historical revisionism.
