Immigrant or Colonizer? How to Tell the Difference

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different cultural and religious concepts because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that”—Henry Kissinger, speaking about Hamas-cheering protesters in the West

I want to expand on something I wrote on Facebook a few days ago. I wrote then that the survival of a nation depends on knowing the difference between immigration and colonization. We must make this distinction obvious to the masses. But millions are blind to reality. So I am following up.

Immigration and colonization involve people moving to a new land, but they differ significantly in effects and purpose. Immigration refers to individuals or groups relocating to another country to integrate into the existing cultural, legal, and social framework.

Legitimate immigrants adapt to learn the language and local customs, and contribute to the host society—while respecting its established norms and institutions. Colonization, on the other hand, occurs when newcomers arrive with the effect and purpose of imposing their own culture, governance structures, language, and laws on the existing population, reshaping or replacing the native way of life.

In short, whereas immigration is characterized by assimilation or integration (really, the same thing), colonization involves a transformation of the host society’s identity through displacement and dominance.

This distinction is crucial for understanding contemporary population movements and their consequences for national identity and sovereignty. It is also essential for identifying the enemy from within. When a people are told by their fellow natives—and their children taught—to tolerate foreign cultures and sensibilities via the manufactured ethic of multiculturalism, these natives are exposed as colonial collaborators.

Don’t fear the colonial collaborators. Don’t let them silence you with smears of bigotry, racism, and xenophobia. Shun and shame them. These progressives telling you that you must be tolerant, even affirming, of cultural differences are working at cross purposes with the imperative of national integrity. They do not speak for Americas or Europeans. They speak for the globalists. The globalists mean to dismantle the West to clear the way for a corporatist transnational empire. Encouraging the colonization of the West by Third Worlders is part of their strategy of world domination.

Immigrant or colonizer? How do we tell the difference? This is known by whether the foreigner assimilates or resists integration. The latter must be deported as soon as his intent is obvious. The former? Be on guard. Colonizers lie. So do their collaborators in the West.

Case in point: the consternation over Israel’s plan to occupy Gaza City. Israel has been depicted by progressives as the colonizer for so long that the widespread assumption is that there is something unjust about Israel’s actions in Gaza. But there is a historical analogue that should guide us in deciding what our opinion on this matter ought to be: the occupation of Germany in the aftermath of World War II.

Those who oppose Israeli plans cite the destruction of much of Gaza from bombing campaigns. Even Steve Bannon of the War Room was going on about this on his Saturday morning program. As I have noted before, during World War II, the Allied bombing campaign against Germany, which aimed to cripple its industrial capacity and break civilian morale, left scenes identical to those we see from Gaza (see The Danger of Missing the Point: Historical Analogies and the Israel-Gaza Conflict).

The Allied bombings caused widespread destruction, with estimates of German civilian deaths ranging from 300,000 to 500,000. In addition to the fatalities, many hundreds of thousands were injured or maimed, with entire urban areas devastated and millions left homeless.

Following Nazi Germany’s well-deserved defeat, the country was occupied by the Allied powers. During this occupation period, a major focus was on denazification, which aimed at removing Nazi influence from cultural, political, and social institutions. This included trials for war criminals, the banning of Nazi organizations, and re-education efforts to promote democratic values.

The postwar upheaval caused massive displacement, with estimates of around 12-14 million Germans expelled from various territories they had settled. Displacement created a humanitarian crisis, reshaping the nation’s demographics and postwar recovery. This history is the consequence of Germany’s actions under Nazi rule.

The government of Gaza, organized by Hamas, a modern incarnation of Nazism, right down to the pathological desire to eradicate the Jews, attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel rightly retaliated with a massive bombing campaign and ground invasion to overthrow Hamas and rehabilitate Gaza to ensure it was no longer a threat to Israel. This is near-perfectly analogous to the Allied invasion and occupation of Nazi Germany and Nazi held territory.

So why don’t people see it the same way? Again, because progressives have successfully portrayed Israel as a white settler colonial entity and an illegitimate country. In the end, more destructive to the survival of Israel than Hamas attacks will be the delegitimation project that has transformed Jews into a white settler colonial project in the public mind.

I get why the Israel people tire of war. I understand their concern for the fate of the hostages still held by Hamas. But the survival of Israel depends on annihilating Hamas and sending a signal to the world that Israel will not allow the genocidal desire of antisemites to do to Jews what Nazi Germany—and many others before them—did.

It’s not just the Jews who are being delegitimized in this way by progressive forces. Americans and Europeans are depicted as white settler colonials, too. Just today, I again ran across on X another version of the meme expressing a sentiment along these lines: “If you don’t want immigrants, then stop colonizing the world.” The idea is that the West owes the Third World some debt (we don’t), and to settle up, we have to welcome foreign invaders bent on changing the West to fit a culture and political vision inimical to freedom, humanism, and secularism.
