because it isnt a “conflict” my whole life ive been pushing back on this and anyone who is willing to call it “israel” instead of the zionist entity legitimizes the existence of the entity itself. Its a settler colonial project, built on ethnic cleansing and genocide and wholly illegitimate.
i know im preaching to the choir on this site but the language we use is incredibly important. Its like why we call it IOF and not IDF, for the same reason we say the Temporary Zionist Entity instead of “Israel”, the same reason we say the Zionist Genocide of the Palestinian people and not “Israel-Palestine Conflict.”
Its about reframing the conversation with our narrative. It can seem insignificant, but its important to delegimize the entity’s existence first and foremost in the language we use. The same way zionists refuse to acknowledge Palestinians as a real people or Palestine as the land they are occupying. Words have power
fuck.
