how are refugees from russia and germany colonizers? are venezuelan refugees colonizing america by your logic? if the zionists aren't the colonizers, but allied with colonizers, then who is the backer? the ottomans? the british? the french? the russians? what prevented the palestinians from allying with outside powers if the israelis were doing the same?

when you claim colonizers, you're just making an excuse for the repeated strategic errors that the palestinians made, and will continue to make, that led them into this humiliating situation.

You're touching on a very true point by saying that the high-level ideas, like ancient homelands or Marxist theory, create a lot of argument that in the end seems to distract people from the obvious reality, which is the mass slaughter of civilians, many of them children.

Are you familiar with Israeli settlers?

Calling Jews “colonizers” of their historical homeland is ridiculous, not to mention that about half of Israeli Jews fled there from Arab countries, not from Europe.

Tell that to these guys https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Colonisation_Associat...

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.

No-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.
