Even if you accept the most anti-Israel version of history and pretend that hundreds of thousands of Jews suddenly arrived in Palestine out of nowhere, the “settler” argument still falls apart.
Ugandan Zohran Mamdani, British Indian Mehdi Hasan, and Somalian Ilhan Omar can come to America, become Americans, and not be considered settlers. Nobody calls Trump a settler because his grandfather came from Germany. Nobody calls Americans settlers because their grandparents came from Italy, Ireland, India, or Somalia.
The same standard applies to Jews in Israel whose grandparents immigrated there.
Of course, the reality is that Jews never “appeared” there in the first place. Jewish communities existed in the land continuously for thousands of years, long before modern Zionism.
Either immigration creates legitimate national communities everywhere, or it doesn’t. No double standards.
