I feel like they should stop calling them "settlers". "Settler" implies the little villagers in Civ or Catan, pioneering untamed lands.
These people are invaders. They're invading someone else's land. I don't know where this "settler" word came from but it doesn't make sense to me and I don't like it.
Same goes for the "IDF". In reality they're the Israeli Occupation Forces, so IOF is much more fitting
Calling them "settlers" is a major part of how all of MSM is complicit in the genocide.
They are state-sanctioned terrorists, who violently force Palestinians from their homes to steal and colonize their land.
Settlers is just the white washed euphemism for colonizers. Same thing but hiding the colon fucking part.
I mean no historically settlers are murderers.
“Barbarian horde” backed by a foreign empire
I agree, but i also wonder if settler was never a good word, and we just thought it was.
