> But that's true of almost every country. All of them have complicated histories. A) that's kind of saying colonisation is OK because other countries did it B) the colonisation in Israel is ongoing and extreme. The West Bank is the site of continuing expropriation and settlement with the explicit aim of shunting the Palestinians into tiny enclaves and rendering any possibility of a Palestinian state impossible, and creating something strongly resembling apartheid South Africa. See e.g. public statements by Naftali Bennett or Benjamin Netanyahu
