It doesn’t take long to read or listen to anti-Israel advocacy before the word “colonial” or “colonialism” is hurled at the Jewish state.
After the spasm of Hamas murder, rape, and kidnapping over the weekend, the US Palestinian Community Network exclaimed , “Our people are waging an anti-colonial, anti-occupation, and anti-Zionist, liberation struggle!”
An academic cottage industry is devoted to deeming Israel a decades-long exercise in “settler colonialism,” and Hamas itself is partial to the term. There is a reason Zionists had no interest in settling in Uganda, as was proposed in the early 20th century.On top of this, Israel has been willing at key junctures, notably right at the beginning in 1948, to accept a two-state solution.
Hamas won legislative elections in 2006 and then expelled the rival Palestinian group Fatah in a factional war.
