      Also I’m quite certain we could do the same map for across the world in the same timeframe and come up with similar results due to the creation of the Israeli colonial state encouraging mass immigration from around the world. People moving around doesn’t equate to them being killed, it’s just demographic shifts.

        They are doing the “Double Nakhba” myth, equating the mass-migration of Middle Eastern Jews to Palestine* with the expulsion of Palestinians from what would become Israel. Obviously, in some cases Jews were expelled and that was a bad thing, or they were fleeing antisemitism (such as bombings mostly instigated by Mossad in Iraq), but the fact that Morocco and Algeria, French colonies, are being included on this map when discussing “Islamism” is absolute proof that this person is just a racist moron.

        Edit: I’m not sure if it’s your brand of terminally online, but Ethan Klein has been constantly promoting this line of argumentation, and I think posts like this are a symptom of the campaigns of people like him.

        Edit 2: *Or to France, because that’s usually where the Jews in Algeria went, rather than to Israel. Those from Morocco mostly went to Israel via Operation Yachin, though some went to France, Canada, or the US.
