Lol. The tweet is defending Zionism and illegal Israeli land expansion, while also denying the history that Jewish people from Europe replaced the natives who had been living on that land for millennia when Israel was created by the British...

Like, imagine trying to sell people that the creation of Israel by the Brits was the one time the Brits actually handled it correctly.

That's a little disingenuous. The majority of the Jewish population is Mizrahi, or descending from the region. Only about a third are Ashkenazi, from Europe.

That said, I do agree that we should all blame the British, as usual.

The quotes he cites don't say that Zionists are European colonists. It just says that the land they colonized is not in Europe.

Where tf did he pull the "European colonizers" from?
