You propose that a country as small as Israel is colonizing the middle east. I am against the illegal settlements, but the compassion to colonies just doesn't fit at all.
- clavicat 5y agoWhat a bizarre objection. Colonial entities can be as small as a city-state, e.g. Singapore. The point is that a newly imported population is imposing their domination on the people that were previously there.
- raxxorrax 5y agoIsrael isn't a colony even if that is a fantasy of many people. Some of those "newly imported" people were driven out of muslim countries, which are numerous as you can see on the map. Most importantly, many in those countries also don't want to deal with the problem of people living in the west bank or the Gaza strip. I believe people have a problem with Jews, a fairly know phenomenon and a problem in the culture that has to change.
