https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/fcb7cbc6-d43a-4b10-a567-7af73611dcb9 During a discussion on far-right Israeli Channel 14, host Yinon Magal suggested establishing a Palestinian state in Uganda. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied: "Your proposal will be given serious consideration." This joke has a dark history. Before the state of Israel was created, European Zionists considered a Jewish state in East Africa. It was called the Uganda Scheme. In 1903, British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain offered Theodor Herzl a piece of land in British East Africa. Herzl presented it at the Sixth Zionist Congress. The proposal caused a huge fight in the Zionist movement. It was rejected in 1905. But the land was not actually in Uganda. It was in modern-day Kenya. So Netanyahu and the host are making a joke about a real colonial plan. And they are joking about sending Palestinians to Africa. This is the same logic of displacement and ethnic cleansing Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:06:51 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/fcb7cbc6-d43a-4b10-a567-7af73611dcb9 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
