Bernie Sanders' Top Foreign Policy Adviser: Opposing Palestinian Right of Return = Replacement Theory

Matt Duss, Senator Bernie Sanders' top foreign policy adviser, has claimed that Israel's opposition to the Palestinian right of return is the equivalent of replacement theory:

In the Israeli-Palestinian context, the great replacement theory is expressed as opposition to the Palestinian right of return, which treats Palestinians as a ‘demographic threat. US leaders condemn the former while constantly declaring support for the latter. It’s fine and appropriate to discuss the historical context for Israel’s restrictive immigration policies, which is different from the US.

What absolute rubbish!!!

Five years ago, white supremacists in Charlottesville chanted, "Jews will not replace us!!!"

Today, the objective of the Palestinian right of return is to replace Jews and thereby dismantle the world's only Jewish homeland. 

Let us never forget that there would be no Palestinian refugee crisis had the Arabs accepted the 1947 UN Partition Plan which established the State of Israel. But those who support the Palestinian right of return want a world without Israel and indeed a world without Jews. Palestine from the river to the sea.

It would be suicidal for Israel to embrace the Palestinian right of return. But left-wing anti-Semites like Matt Duss want to liken Israel to white supremacists for having the temerity to want to live in a country the size of Vermont.

I cannot stress enough that equating opposition to the Palestinian right of return to white replacement theory is rubbish and such thinking deserves to be treated in that manner.
