Both Israel and Palestine were founded in 1948 by a UN agreement. That agreement gave Israel the right to exist at the same time as Palestine. Package deal. Without the West Bank there's not enough territory to form a Palestinian state. The Palestinians are owed a state because they are the original inhabitants of the land - yes! they are descended from the ancient Israelities: https://nitter.cz/MiroCyo/status/1712258026881921287#m https://nitter.cz/MiroCyo/status/1712258026881921287#m Additionally, the 1948 agreement gave the WB to Palestine. Any subsequent border changes by Israel or surrounding "Arab" countries that violate that agreement are unacceptable if they're not accepted by both Palestine and Israel. It's true that the Palestinian leadership has been reckless and stupid again and again, but it doesn't justify imperialism over their land. We don't have empires any more and Israel isn't entitled to one.

I believe it’s “white imperialism” or “US imperialism.” Israel isn’t the empire.

  There are still empires... France is still in Africa, the USA has a fancy new drone base in Niger to protect Europe's Nigeria sourced natural gas pipeline, not to mention Obama started incursions into 7 African nations. China plagiarized the USA Imperialist playbook from the 50s to the 80s and is currently implementing it in Africa to good effect, even created their own analogue to the imperialist and exploitative IMF and World Bank, the Asian Development Bank. An then you got Russia.
