This is not off-topic. You said "funny definition for colonialism", implying Israel does not fit the definition of colonialism. This inevitably invites people to dispute this, and describe why indeed Israel is colonialist. Such responses are obviously on topic. Don't try and weasel out of this.
No such suggestion of.... what??? Why be so vague? You haven't responded to anything here.
Israel is a settler-colonial state. Zionism is the destruction of Palestine to create Israel in its place. Do you dispute that?
"implying" your assumptions, no matter how outlandish your imagination, are not my problem.
"what???" go read you post to see what I never remotely suggested.
Perhaps you should look into why you are so desperate for a fight.
No, the population of Israel does not meet the definition of settlers. They were not in control of the decision and in fact were uninvolved in the decision to create a refugee camp of "undesirables" so the allies could get the Jews out of their countries. That is my entire point. All your moral flailing isn't relevant as no statement was made about morality, regardless of how angry that makes you.
