No, I'm highlighting the part of Mandatory Palestine where it quite literally started out as a British colonial entity. I personally believe Israel has a right to exist. There are two fundamental claims that lie unaddressed and compromise the legitimacy of the borders Israel chooses to recognize for themselves: 1) The originally misrepresented Balfour declaration that promised land Britain had no right to administrate 2) The continued unrepentant settlement of the Golan Heights in spite of multinational, worldwide objection to the action The first issue does not make Israel inherently any more colonial than America, but does obviously start a blood feud with the native population. The second issue does make Israel inherently colonial and contradicts the idea that Zionism is not predicated on expansionist policy.
