Liberals: "noooooooo you don't understand, Israeli society is totally fine, there is no such thing as a settler colonial mentality, the problem is the Israeli right!"
Meanwhile, the Israeli left:
"Hamahanot Haolim – a century-old 'pioneering, socialist Zionist youth group' – says it is exploring the possibility of building a new Kibbutz in the Jordan Valley, arguing that leftists should populate the area rather than far-right outposts inhabited by violent settlers"
"The Israeli left needs to be in the Jordan Valley; otherwise, other people will be there," he added. "And the story of the farms is the clearest example of this."
This is literally the "if I don't steal it, somebody else will" meme applied to Palestinian land. As Ilan Pappé once said: "Being a liberal Zionist has always been problematic. You have to lie to yourself constantly, because you cannot be both a socialist and a coloniser at the same time."
