Interesting take by Vijay here. I think I agree with him, although not surprised to hear him say that he had pushback from others.
He was asked what he thinks of settler-colonialism as a framework and how, or whether, it can be theoretically combined with imperialism.
His answer was that settler-colonialism is not useful. In the case of Israel, he thinks it is better addressed as a supremacist ethnostate and should be dismantled on that basis. If the issue is compressed into a settler-colonial model, then the implication is that the solution is to remove all Israelis from the land, which he finds objectionable. Furthermore he doesn’t want “a world of Israels”, a world of ethnically defined nations who are entitled to resist intrusion by other groups. Vijay instead argues that the end goal needs to be plurinational states that can tolerate diversity.
Vijay is usually spot on, but in this case he’s being naive, the line has been crossed, every single Israeli in the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Height and Negev should be deported immediately for the physical safety of Palestinians living in those areas and the rest of Israel placed under military occupation no different from the one Germany was placed under
Social experiments in harmony can take place between Israelis that renounce fascism and decide to stay and a United Palestine, but before that can ever happen, any possibility of a repeat of Israeli fascism and genocidal intentions towards Palestinians has to be excised completely
Eh there are at least some amount of people with Israeli citizenship who have always been staunch supporters of Palestine and can probably stay, a lot of orthodox for example, and maybe Ethiopian, mizrahi, Sephardic, etc. By and large I agree though, since the genocidal culture is so ingrained in many Israelis, they would probably need to be deported back to US and Europe purely because they are incapable/rejecting of remaining without doing harm to the people around them.
Edit : just realizing you were specific enough with the areas you mentioned that the types of people living there in general are probably not the ones I’m talking about
