It is not. The fact you call it a disgusting reversal of facts is a disgusting reversal of facts.

And decolonize Palestine is idiotic too, the Palestinian Arabs are colonizers as well.

You can find an academic account on the 1947-48 war here https://www.jstor.org/stable/2537591 .

I dont know how the arabs in palestine are to be seen as colonizers given that the notion of “palestine” came around the turn of the century but frankly I’m not interested in such mental gymnastics.

Most of the Palestinians moved to the area following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War 1.

And the region has seen mass migrations of people for millenia as it has changed hands between the Ottoman Empire, the Abbasid Caliphate, the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, the Persian Empire, the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonians, and plenty of others in between.

Everyone who lives there is a colonizer at some point in the last few hundred years.
