If I may simplify what you're saying to what seems to be the gist: [The criticism] focuses on Israel as a uniquely colonizing entity In essence the criticism seems to boil down to this: Israel indisputably maintains the longest-running military occupation in the world, at present. Which it is aggressively expanding in both the West Bank and Gaza, as we speak. Its attitude towards the Arab population has been ineluctably colonial from the very start of the movement. As expressed in most every piece of Zionist writing you will find, and the recorded statements from basically everyone involved. And then the large-scale massacres and violent displacements starting in 1947. In a supposedly post-colonial world, there are very few countries with an analogous situation or history. Is this the criticism you're referring to?
