It says Jews are colonizers and that the goal is decolonization, which means getting rid of them. And you saw that in the immediate aftermath of the October 7th attack.

I don't dispute that at all. Obviously, the reason why these protests exist is because of the war. The way that this idea is used when people say that Israel is a settler colonial country, they mean this country should not exist. It has no right to exist. And many of those people would say the same thing about the United States.

But of course, the United States is not an imminent danger of destruction. There's no one who's making war on it. But there are countries and groups that have been making war on Israel since it was created. It's not a matter of do I sympathize with victims.
