    They’re not colonizing Palestine. They’re eradicating it.

    And this has been going on for almost 80 years. Anything anyone does, is always, in response to some shitty thing someone did before. But fact of the matter is, Israel benefits more than Palistine to have a conflict. So much that the time when it actually looked like someone could talk both sides to a peaceful conclusion. Israel had him assassinated.

      Colonization is the method Isreal is using to eradicate Palestine.

        Look. I get that you heard that word somewhere. But everything isn’t colonizing.

        Annexing would be a better description to what they’re doing.

          Its literally colonizing though. It’s sending their citizens to build settlements in areas that do not belong to them.

          Annexing does not imply the use of force, colonizing does.

            Annexing implies bringing an area under the control of a government; colonization implies mass movement of people into undeveloped land. If it’s occupied land (necessitating the eviction of the occupants), then it’s ethnic cleansing. Any or all are correct depending on which specific part of Israeli policy one is discussing.

              Russia circa 2024 disagrees because they wanted it to sound voluntary. News went with it because annex is technically correct in the close by/far away context, but not the whole colonialism is always by force context.
