Debunking the 3 D's of Israeli hasbara - distortions, diversions & defamations

"First, the Palestinian narrative doesn’t “portray the Jews as colonial occupiers of Arab land”, it portrays the Zionists (not THE Jews) as settler colonial occupiers of Arab land. For a paper that claims to be opposed to anti-Semitism, conflating all Jews with Zionism and putting the ills of Zionism on the shoulders of all Jews is a dangerous slide into anti-Semitism. Second, there is no legitimacy (not ancient nor modern) for Zionist claims to a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Period." (thanks Amir)
