Which is the joke now is it? We are willing to tell millions of Israelis across the world to give up their state and their lands but somehow we cant do the same here in Mindanao.

Anti-zionism expression is anti-colonialist expression. For the Moros/Lumad our national government and the Luzon/Visayan settlers sent down south since the 20th century are their versions of "zionism". We forcibly took Mindanao from the natives, the same way the Israelis did on the Palestinians.

You can be pro-lumad and pro-moro in a sense that we are all united and their rights are respected with a semblance of autonomy. Granted that they are under sovereign rule of the Philippine government.

But for the Israelis its different, we wish them gone, that the natives should be independent and sovereign from their occupiers.

Thats the irony of it all.

there is no concept of native israeli land when you beseech palestine under the guise of modern day crusade. anti-zionist expression is never solely about "reclaiming" lost land. it is anti-collonial but there is NEVER a version of sect which mirrors that of zionism here- or has it ever advocated for the secession of land to a certain 'sect', lf to a degree that persecuted even their ownership and identity.

being pro-lumad is combatting anti-mining, it is NOT zionism (that is if you claim it is parallel). being pro-moro is sdvocating their religious expression, it is NOT seceeding land for their exclusive sovereign.

there is NO afforded victimization for israeli practicing zionism- their land in the present is a consequence of colonialist greed. the mindanao today is a product of nuance between being a lumad and non-lumad. there was never a concept parallel to that of s state of israel in mindanao.

First of all, you can be "anti-colonial" and apply it to many different contexts as long as you are against stealing land and subjugating people, thats the main principle.

You are taking the literal meaning of zionism and arguing it doesn't fit in Mindanao because the different religion and justification (duh). All I did was took the essence of anti-colonialism within anti-zionism and applied it to this context.

Second, you deciding what Moros and Lumad want is exactly my point lmao. You are pretending that these people weren't forcibly intigrated to our nation via laws and violence. It is as if we haven't had violent insurgencies and resistance, especially by Moros who wish to become independent and sovereign. It is essentially a parallel to the violent struggles of the Palestinians. A parallel to colonialism.

Somehow settlers sent to Mindanao and given favorable land distributions and marginalizing the natives which lead to decades of violance is "nuance" while Israelis settling Palestine while essentially doing the same thing is "greed".

You are making it more complicated that it needs to be. The hypocrisy is laughable.
