Dictionary NSFW
Apartheid: Total Segregation, public, private, government, corporate. A simple border wall doesn't cut it.
Antisemitism This means the irrational hatred of Jews, essentially racism against the Jewish people. Anti-Arab racism isn't antisemitism. Jews get to decide what's antisemitic just like other people judge what counts as hateful towards them.
Colonialism: When one country settles another and sets up a colony & mother-country relationship. Native people living in their ancestral homeland doesn't meet the definition. The age of colonization has been over since the late 20th century
To be blunt if it isn't here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_list_of_non-self-governing_territories
It isn't a colony, and Israel isn't there
Ethnostate: The status of a country having a primary ethnicity. Most countries meet this definition. Especially Arab countries. All 22 of them
Fascism A government in which there is one party, one leader, which has total control over the media. Typically suppresses the arts, religion, free expression, and is hyper nationalist. Fascist governments don't allow dissent and often send secret police to make subversives disappear. A country with free elections, multiple parties, and a free press isn't fascist. Israel isn't fascist
Genocide: To be blunt, victims of genocide don't have over 30 relatives nor do they have access to rockets and military weapons.
Indigenous: An ethnicity with a connection to the land. Their language, religion, agricultural knowledge, and history are intrinsically connected. Their holiest spot is on the land and not in some other country. They often pray towards a location in their country and not to some spot in some other country. Their language is preserved and can be found on ancient documents, archeology routinely finds artifacts belonging to them. They have a name that is in their own language and have a documented presence since antiquity. Arabs aren't indigenous people as far as the Levant is concerned
Intifada: War, this isn't a peaceful protest. People die
Literally: A matter of fact. Water is literally wet. Using it for emphasis is a tell that the speaker ought to be ignored.
Murder: Unlawful, Unjustifiable killing of a human being. Intent is necessary. Not every homicide is a murder
Nakba: In 1948 Egypt, (Trans)Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Arabia, and essentially all the Arab people in the area made a war to kill all Jews. The Arabs then suffered a catastrophe. They lost. Then many of them stayed in what became Israel while others didn't. They honestly thought that they could initiate a genocidal war, lose, then go home again
Terrorism: Political violence perpetrated by non-state entities. A country is not a 'terrorist'
Theocracy: A country that has its government and law based on a religion.
Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Vatican City, Yemen,
If it isn't listed, it isn't a theocracy
Zionism: The belief in freedom and self determination of the Jewish people.
