    There is no country called Rhodesia, does that mean every Rhodesian was murdered?

    I keep coming back to Rhodesia because that’s exactly what Israel is.

      From another article shared here in the last day:

      None other than the founding father of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, recognized this elementary fact (that Zionism is inherently racist and colonial). In a 1902 letter to Cecil Rhodes — a diamond magnate and white supremacist British colonialist with oceans of African blood on his hands — Herzl, writing of “the idea of Zionism, which is a colonial idea,” requested help colonizing historic Palestine.

      “It doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor, not Englishmen but Jews… How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial,” Herzl wrote. “I want you to… put the stamp of your authority on the Zionist plan.”
