    Israel is not a victim in the same way as the first two due to the power differences, but viewing them simply as perpetrator is a rather myopic view of the whole situation.

      In response to Ben-Gurion’s 1938 quote that “politically we are the aggressors and they [the Palestinians] defend themselves”, Israeli historian Benny Morris says, “Ben-Gurion, of course, was right. Zionism was a colonizing and expansionist ideology and movement”, and that “Zionist ideology and practice were necessarily and elementally expansionist.” Morris describes the Zionist goal of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine as necessarily displacing and dispossessing the Arab population
