Dismantling Zionism
Zionist Arguments Collapse Under Scrutiny
Let’s dismantle the core arguments Zionists use to justify their actions, one by one:
1. “We were here first.”
No, you weren’t. The Canaanites were, and genetic studies reveal that all Palestinians have Canaanite DNA, alongside Jewish ancestry—acknowledged by none other than David Ben-Gurion.
Zionists, now prove that each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land thousands of years ago!
2. “We’re returning to our homeland.”
This is the same justification French and Italian colonizers used in Libya and Algeria when claiming they were “returning to Roman lands.”
Colonialism is colonialism, no matter how it’s framed.
3. “The West Bank is ours because of the Bible.”
That’s not how international law works. The fundamental principle of modern law prohibits the acquisition of land by force.
Conquest and theft are no longer valid methods of claiming territory.
4. “God promised it to us.”
- Good luck proving this in court.
- If God promised it to you, why did He “take it away” for 2,000 years?
Historical sovereignty doesn’t mean eternal ownership.
5. “We had a Jewish kingdom here for 250 years.”
And Muslims have been sovereign over this land for 1,400 years!
By that logic, should Greece invade Turkey to reclaim Istanbul because it was part of the Byzantine Empire?
6. “The world gave us Israel in 1947.”
No, it didn’t. The UN Partition Plan was only a non-binding proposal, passed by just 33 out of 57 countries in a General Assembly that mostly represented colonial powers.
The resolution was never ratified by the Security Council and holds no legal weight.
7. “We were persecuted in Europe, culminating in the Holocaust.”
The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy, but why should Palestinians pay the price for European antisemitism and savagery?
Victimizing one group doesn’t justify creating another.
8. “We have a right to return after 2,000 years.”
If this were true, why doesn’t a displaced Palestinian family have that same right after just 76 years?
The hypocrisy is staggering.
9. “States have a right to exist.”
No state has a “right to exist.” Human beings have a right to exist.
States are artificial constructs, created and maintained by power, and they derive their legitimacy from the consent of the people they govern—not from divine mandate or historical grievance.
The Palestinian Reality
Despite these hollow arguments, Palestinians recognized Israel over 30 years ago, accepting its existence as a fait accompli. They agreed to settle for less than 22% of their historical homeland—a staggering concession.
Yet today, their minimal demands for freedom are labeled as “Palestinian maximalism” or “rejectionism.” Meanwhile, Israel’s proposal of fragmented bantustans, worse than apartheid South Africa, is celebrated as a “generous offer.”
This distortion of reality reveals the power imbalance and the weaponization of narratives to justify genocide, apartheid, and colonialism. Let’s call it what it is: a deliberate erasure of Palestinian identity, rights, and existence.
Genocide, then and now, relies on these fabricated myths to shield itself from accountability. But history remembers, and so will justice.

The Myth of 1947: How the World Did Not “Give” Israel to Zionists
One of the most persistent myths surrounding the creation of Israel is that “the world” collectively bestowed it upon the Zionist movement in 1947. This claim, often used to justify the violent establishment of a settler-colonial state in Palestine, erases both the illegitimacy of the process and the ongoing Palestinian resistance against it. The reality is starkly different: the UN Partition Plan was neither legally binding nor representative of global consensus. More importantly, it was a colonial decision that disregarded the will of the Indigenous Palestinian population.
The UN Partition Plan: A Colonial Power Play
The United Nations Partition Plan (Resolution 181) was passed on November 29, 1947, recommending the division of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international control. However, it was only a recommendation, not an enforceable resolution.
-
The vote passed with 33 in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions, out of 57 countries present.
-
The vast majority of nations that supported it were either European colonial powers (e.g., Britain, France, the Netherlands) or their settler-colonial extensions (e.g., the U.S., Canada, Australia, and apartheid South Africa).
-
The countries that opposed it were largely from the Arab and Muslim world, while many from Latin America and Asia abstained.
Crucially, the Palestinian people—who comprised over 65% of the population and owned over 90% of the land—were never consulted. The decision was made without their consent, violating their fundamental right to self-determination.
The Security Council Rejection: No Legal Standing
While Zionist narratives claim that the UN “granted” Israel legitimacy, they fail to mention that the Partition Plan was never ratified by the UN Security Council. Unlike binding Security Council resolutions, General Assembly votes carry no legal force unless adopted through additional mechanisms.
Moreover, the British government—which still held colonial control over Palestine—never implemented the plan. Instead, Zionist militias launched Operation Dalet in early 1948, carrying out ethnic cleansing campaigns that forcibly expelled over 750,000 Palestinians in what became known as the Nakba (Catastrophe).
The Reality: Israel Was Established Through Ethnic Cleansing, Not Diplomatic Legitimacy
Israel’s creation in May 1948 was not the result of diplomatic legitimacy but of violence, mass displacement, and forced land expropriation:
-
Zionist militias—the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi—launched systematic campaigns to massacre, expel, and terrorize Palestinian communities in cities like Haifa, Jaffa, and Tiberias.
-
By the time of the formal declaration of Israel’s existence, Zionist forces had already taken over significant portions of the land beyond what the UN Partition Plan had even proposed.
-
The new state of Israel was recognized first by the United States and then the Soviet Union, not by the international community as a whole. Many nations rejected its legitimacy outright.
A Colonial Legacy, Not a “Gift”
The claim that the world “gave” Israel to Zionists in 1947 is a deliberate distortion of history that serves to:
-
Obscure the colonial origins of Zionism, which depended on European and U.S. imperial backing to establish a settler state.
-
Justify ethnic cleansing by implying that Palestinian resistance was illegitimate rather than an anti-colonial struggle.
-
Deflect responsibility for ongoing crimes, as Israel continues to violate international law through military occupation, settlement expansion, and apartheid policies.
The reality is clear: Israel was not “given” to Zionists—it was violently taken from the Palestinian people through a process of settler-colonial conquest. The Nakba did not “happen” as a consequence of war; it was the foundational event that built the Israeli state, an act of genocidal dispossession that continues today.
No UN vote can erase that fact.

The Zionist Genocide Against Palestinians Began in the 1880s—Not in 1947, and Not in 2023
