modern european colonialism doesn't have much to do with god or promised land anymore, and even then a british or a french flag would be more appropriate imo

    and there are still many eu member states that can hardly be accused of directly engaging in modern colonialism, I'm simply saying we shouldn't lump them all together

    This is a conversation about history. It doesn’t include modern member states because they were not member states when the modern European colonization of Africa first occurred.

    therefore,

    EU flag doesn't fit here because it's a symbol that's used nowadays to represent 27 countries, not just colonisers. that's why I initially said it was anachronistic

    What makes up the majority of the nationalities of the settler-colonialists in occupied Palestine, and how much money + from which continent (aside from North America) goes into the settler-colonial entity?

    Brits and the French are just the most well known colonialists. Meanwhile, modern european colonialism is a direct extension of the promised land colonialism. The EU flag is just a convenient way to indicate Europe as a whole.

    so… not the British? Because they’re not EU
