Except the groups the article refers to are quite marginal, have no influence in government, are a certainly not "great friends of the Western establishment". Basically a propaganda piece, designed to push your buttons. And not s

As recently as February 2023, Cutler’s name was floated as a possible next head of the Israeli Strategic Affairs Ministry, a government propaganda office tasked with surveilling and undermining protesters and activists abroad. Which no do

You can call them whatever you want, as long as you can point to instances of what real users actually said. Instead of referring to abstract/hypothetical users and what you think they might be saying in some alternate universe.

However if the goal is to create conditions favorable to what they coldly refer to as "voluntary population transfer", i.e. ethnic cleansing very much in the classical definition -- they they're doing a masterful job indeed:

To the extent that it is the dominant military power in Lebanon and it is directed by a foreign power, while enjoying something like 8% public support outside the Shia minority in Lebanon, I do feel comfortable referring to it as an occupy

Oh, I meant that it hasn't been 75 years, not that the territories aren't occupied. You are right of course. It's been so long, I lose track of the math myself.

In the status quo ante of this attack Israel was not in fact slowly annexing the Gaza. Not yet, as majority policy. But a sizable contingent is clamoring for exactly that (only they'd prefer it happen much more quickly): ‘It is

No it's called war, and there's nothing postmodern about it at all actually. It's really quite antimodern, in fact.
