I’m not strictly sure about liberal zionists, but I’ve certainly seen lots of zionists refer to or portray Palestinians as hicks or bumpkins (one person specifically called them terrorist bumpkins). I’m reminded of something I read on a wikipedia page once about European Zionists back in the forties and fifties thinking of Arab Jews as mentally challenged (the specific term wasn’t so friendly). I’m also reminded of one of Hasan’s guests saying there’s even a genre of film about Arab Jews joining modern society and learning how to be civilized.
I mean, it’s a step up from the usual “Palestine = Voldemort” comparisons we get. I guess.
Are they really going so high-brow as to call Palestinians “Voldemort”? I’ve seen far more comparisons to wild animals and 90s urban youth.
Comparing Palestinians to zombies feels very par for the course in the liberal zionist community.
