Colony definition: a country or area under the full or partial political control of another country and occupied by settlers from that country. Which country is controlling and settling the Israel? It's not a colony you are thinking of, at best you can claim it's a part-invasion part-colony, but you are not. you are saying that its all a colony. so you are wrong.

There is no requirement that the colonizers be from a single country. The US is certainly playing part in the colonization by funding Israel. The UK also played a huge role in the creation of Israel. The point is that the colonizers of Israel were not from Palestine, then they created a nation over the top of someone else's land and have aggressively expanded the borders of that nation. > at best you can claim it's a part-invasion part-colony I think that's a pretty apt description actually. You have to invade a place before you colonize it.

    The significance of the disengagement plan [from Gaza] is the freezing of the peace process, and when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Effectively, this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with authority and permission. All with a presidential blessing and the ratification of both houses of Congress. That is exactly what happened. You know, the term `peace process' is a bundle of concepts and commitments. The peace process is the establishment of a Palestinian state with all the security risks that entails. The peace process is the evacuation of settlements, it's the return of refugees, it's the partition of Jerusalem. And all that has now been frozen.... what I effectively agreed to with the Americans was that part of the settlements would not be dealt with at all, and the rest will not be dealt with until the Palestinians turn into Finns. That is the significance of what we did. Dov Weissglass, senior advisor to prime minister Ariel Sharon

You can't colonize your own country. The Bible clearly states and it is not disputed that Israel is a Jewish country for over 3000 years. Visit Jerusalem, go to the Temple Mount in the Old City and at the base you can see the ruins of the 2nd Temple destroyed by the Romans 2000 years ago. North and South American and Australia are colonized, but Jews of Israel simply resettled their land that they were kicked out of 2000 years ago by the Romans. So, if you wish to complain about colonization, please use the term correctly and reference North and South America and Australia as colonized.
