It's not 'complicated': Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine is fueled by 'colonial racism'

Both Donald Trump's American project and Benjamin Netanyahu's Israeli project are influenced by racial and colonialist worldviews that grant full rights and personhood to some while justifying the repression and extermination of others.
"Terrorist tribalism helps explain the Trump administration's adulation of Israeli violence against Palestinians," Professor Aviva Chomsky wrote in The Nation magazine.
Colonial racism is the common thread linking the violent and eliminationist politics of Donald Trump in the United States and Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. In this episode of the ongoing series "Not in Our Names,"
The Mark Steiner Show, Mark speaks with Professor Chomsky about how Israel's US-backed genocide in Gaza is the brutal culmination of the Zionist settler colonial project, and how the suppression of political dissent under the guise of
"combating anti-Semitism" is an extension of that violent project.
