Ah yes the other side.

Fueled by imperialist fervor, and backed by western military power, the settlers marched under a perceived promise from the God of the universe as recorded in a book written by men thousands of years ago that they would be the sole inhabitants of a specific piece of dirt that already had other people living in it. Under this banner of heaven the settlers felt justified in the violences documented in this exhibit because they wanted the land that other people had been living on for generations. The animosity toward their fellow man from settlers of the Israeli state continues to this day in much the same fashion: seizing land, beating inhabitants, turning a blind eye to rape and murder, enforcement of an apparteid status, and unceasing propaganda including the delegitimizing of the term "antisemite."

I personally don't understand why sharing that viewpoint would matter, but I guess, go ham.

Also

delegitimizing Jewish self-determination

No it doesn't. Jewish self-determination doesn't grant the right to murder, rape, and steal from people, and documenting the abuses of the settlers does not delegitimizing Jewish self-determination. This is true of all acts of self-determination, and to believe different because it's "Jewish" would be holding Jewish people to a double standard which, I'm sure you all know, the ADL considers antisemitic.
