False accusations of anti-semitism are all Israel and its defenders have left. Once the “But Hamas!” and “But Oct. 7!” excuses are spent, false accusations of hating Jews is all that remains, writes Caitlin Johnstone.

It’s hard to accept that Israel has the same kind of right to it as Palestinians.
Every displaced Palestinian has a home address they were forced out of, and had his home stolen by someone who felt that being Jewish gave them a right to be present in the land (sure) but also to a particular parcel of land that already belonged to particular individuals.
Zionists will tell you that most of the land was acquired legitimately. That’s an exaggeration, but some certainly was. Enough of it was outright stolen to make hundreds of thousands of refugees. I’m a one stater; there is enough room for all in the region. To the Zionist, it isn’t about a right to be there. It’s about the supposed right to dominate the land through demographic control - i.e. ethnic cleansing.
