RIMA NAJJAR: The benign-sounding term “settler” or “settlement” is used
so often in the news without reference to Jewish colonization of
Palestine that the world often loses
sight of the immoral nature of the Zionist project in Palestine. The
term is used to describe Jews moving illegally to the West Bank, and
commandeering land that belongs to Palestinians. Waves of Jews moving to
Israel are no longer called colonists or even settlers in the news
media, but rather immigrants.
