- beezlewax 1y agoNo-one is calling Jews colonisers. They're calling people who bulldoze their neighbours houses to create "settlements" colonisers. Half of these people were born and raised in America or other countries yet it is their birth right because god said so? Ludicrous behaviour whatever you want to call it.

Sources from the early Zionist movement are replete with discussion of colonization. It's only now when the connotation (not the reality) of the term has changed that Israel supporters try to pretend it never happened.
