  • As for the optics of allowing settlers to be seen as refugees, I feel like that definitely takes a back seat to defending human rights.

    It’s not about optics, you’re doing every refugee and migrant a disservice by lopping ex-settlers with them. Refugees and migrants don’t steal land and attempt to turn the native population into second class citizens, that’s just a reactionary myth.

    Except the Israelis actually did do that, so you can’t say they’re the same thing as Syrians, Sudanese, Congolese, etc escaping war and genocide.

    You don’t have to “punish” people on behalf of the Palestinians, but you also can’t act like they’re the same thing as South/ Central American migrants coming to the US to escape poverty and violence just for a chance to give their family a better life.
