My language was intentional and precise. I didn't say "colonialism" (which I'm not defending BTW). I said "settler colonialism" [1], which is precisely what has gone on here. From the Nakba to the 1967 war to the West Bank settlers, you have over 75 years of ethnic cleansing and displacement. That's ettler colonialism.
I can't speak to whatever colonial society you're from. You don't say. I will say I struggle to think of examples of where colonialism worked out well for the colonized however.

- dotancohen 2y agoWeren't the Jews ethnically cleansed from the West Bank in 1948/1949? Isn't the return of Jews to the West Bank in 1967 the undoing of ethnic cleansing? Honest question, not trolling. I assume that you see the situation differently, I'd love to understand your viewpoint if you care to explain it.
