You refute it...because other genocides happened that weren't colonial? It may not be unique, but the contradiction between the settler state of Israel and Palestine goes back to the 40s when Israel was literally created by the British Empire and France. It was literally created by colonial powers and when created it was based on a bloodthirsty Zionist project who considered Palestinians and 2nd-class Jewish citizens as undesirables. It was an apartheid state that committed scaled massacres until escalating into genocide only shortly after it's creation.

It fills all the blanks of being "rooted" in a colonialist setting because it literally was a fucking colony and literally IS A SETTLER state. Doing mental gymnastics that saying "well, Shoah" doesn't mean anything. Materially it is a settler state; one that used to be a colonial territory committing genocide on a indigenous people.

What's "special" about it is that America is also a settler nation, a much older one, that is funding, arming and refusing to back down or condemn the genocide other than a few phone-calls that do nothing and aid-drops that literally killed civilians. What's "special" about it is that by cutting funding, you severely hamper the capabilities of the Israeli genocide machine and their neighbors can begin the process of removing and purging a settler-colonial state. You also seem to forget that we should've cut funding years ago; but instead we've been perpetuating it for decades now and when the genocides finally ramp up all you can do is wring your hands and say "well not funding it wont do anything?"

Is that spelled more clear for you now? Do I have to be more specific and say that Tel Aviv should be carpet-bombed and Netanyahu should be sentenced to death for war crimes? Fuck your obtuse failed logic and your pathetic refutation that doesn't even have a rhetoric beyond *"well...but actually nuh-uh"

The perpetrator nation is the one arming, funding and giving military equipment to the nation doing a genocide. The same perpetrator that runs the western hegemony of capital. The "neighbor" is Palestine because Israel is a proxy.
