You argue that Israel’s colonial occupations in the West Bank are illegitimate, but the establishment of Israel itself, while colonial, is not illegitimate? That seems inconsistent. It seems a very common position for people to begrudge that Israel has a right to exist, but not really. Secondly, if the argument that the “native” population (which of course has always lived there, absolutely no migration) has superior rights than an immigrant population was advanced in Europe in order to get rid of said immigrants, then we don’t need to imagine what that would be called, it was a whole thing.
