    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.
