This absolutely blew me away. Is this common knowledge? I thought they were wayyy more densely populated. 20% of those are Arabs, by the way, so the Jewish population is less than 8 million. O_O

Israel is based on Zionism, a fascist ideology focused on settler colonialism

Ilan Pappe is an Israeli historian that has written extensively on the subject, I highly recommend his works if you're interested in learning more

    Thanks!

    Hmm, link doesn't work. I can do my own due diligence of course, but if you have another link it'd be appreciated.

    Edit: Oh shit! I already knew about Pappe, I have seen his talks before! Good to know I'm actually not a complete uninformed doofus.

    That's odd, it seems to work for me so I'm not sure how to fix the link. But I put together a list of works a while back, some have links but they may not all be active. Libgen or Anna's Archive have reliable copies tho.

    While less formal, https://decolonizepalestine.com/ has an incredibly comprehensive collection of info. Everything I've tried to fact check on there has come up true at least.

    All right then, that'll do, thank you. Yeah I remember seeing talks by this guy, they very very rewarding and informative. Shit, maybe worth their own posts somewhere here on the fediverse.
