You’re trying to be funny in pretending to not understand Zionism is a form of colonialism. Your semantic trick in “I’m talking about colonialism” is just a joke to you. Or do you really not understand the subject? If you do, you’re ignoring the serious issue in order to be smug.
But it isn’t just colonialism. And my comment is solely upon the definition of colonialism not fitting the circumstances here. More Penal Colony for all the folks being deported from Germany, France, Italy, and Russia especially. I’d suggest it was more like Australia colonization when the deported criminals, others, and inconvenient poors were not really in charge of the decision. So while yes, the set up is typical colonialism, it isn’t really the Israelis that did it, they are just a bunch of People deported to this location that are using violence to claim their turf, but they were not really in the “go there and take land” meeting. So it is more the WWII Allies that did the colonization. The Jews simply went there to get away from the discrimination and violence in the allied countries plus those still alive from the “liberated” axis ones.
So I remain behind my original statement, weird definition of colonialism.

That’s who people blame, yes. The British, particularly, are the ones who created Israel.
And I don’t want you to get some wires crossed here, or to be performing some conflation, but no one other than anti-semites blames Jews in general for this, or even the innocent Jewish civilians living in Israel.
It is the Israeli state, specifically, the IDF, who are perpetuating the settler colonial vision now. Britain can be blamed for starting it, and the rest of the West can be blamed for helping support it, but it is still a program of moving people into an area while displacing the natives. Colonialism.
Placing People not from your country that your country has been forcing to flee from country to country for generations onto land their many times removed ancestors fled, is not the normal definition of colonialism.
Would be closer to a deportation camp than a colonist camp.
Weird definition of colonialism.
Do you not understand the idea of Zionism or West Bank settlements?
Not relevant to my comment.
Colonies are not relevant to colonialism?
Lmao yes it fuxking is. Zionism is quite literally why Israel was established in Palestine instead of a ton of other proposed locations…
None of which I mentioned. My comment was on the definition of colonialism. You imagined what is in your head.
Don’t be facetious. Zionism is colonialism, just with Jewish seasoning.
I’m curious with your use of facetious here. One of us is one of today’s lucky 10,000.

I’m not the dude you were talking to. I see what you meant now, though.

You again insist upon off topic. I made no such suggestion nor in fact any comment involving most of your post.

Bruh, even in the Torah, Israel took Palestine by Military force, and have always been “occupiers” of land that wasn’t originally theirs.
Wait does 2k+ years ago still count as western colonialism? If so that changes the balance all across the world.
I don’t think most of us consider that real history. They prolly did a bunch of murder, but no Egyptian slavery or Moses.
