Two different defining concepts of colonialism, one comes from the mother country which invades another country and sets up a colonial government which is subservient to the mother country and whose benefits go to the mother country. You have taken the terms of colonialism and then applied it to zionism, however Zionism was not launched by another country it was by the indigenous Jews who soughto settle into the land of Palestine and create a nation state for the Jewish h people. I don’t know of any French or German or Spanish flags when they arrived on the beaches of Tel Aviv. I believe your use of the word colonialism is more a stick that you have invented to beat over the heads of the Zionists but the concept is very weak at best. also many indigenous movements have sought allies or have had support from other countries and was partially the case for Zionism it was not the purpose.
Zionism was explicitly launched by Britain. The initial batch of settlers explicitly came there to protect the British colony (and Britain later gave them the land as they promised). And if you think today Israel does not benefit any Western nations, you are sorely mistaken. It is a bastion of Western imperialism in the region.
zionist leaders themselves(Herzl, Jabotinsky, to name 2 that come to mind) referred to themselves as colonist, the settler colonial aspect is not the only that defines zionism, but arguably it is the only objectionable element, given what it has done in practise to the palestinians also, those who started and dominated the zionist movement, were european jews, it was not the jews of the ottoman empire(who are indigenous to the land) that started that project to create a jewish homeland or state
In the year 1500 there were 10,000 Jews living in the Safad region , in 1563 The establishment of the Hebrew printing press, in 1100 A.D. Jews took part in the defense of Haifa against the crusaders, in 1199 driven out by the Crusaders Jews moved to the Jerusalem area. Jews also sought a homeland after being driven out of Spain in 1492, Lithuania in 1495, Portugal, Sicily and Sardinia in 1497, in the year 1099 A.D. Jews take part in the defense of Jerusalem against the crusaders. In 1211 Rabbi’s from France and England settle near Jerusalem, in 1267 the Ramban settles and establishes a synagogue in the Jerusalem area. By 1880 the Jews formed the majority of the population of Jerusalem.The Mameluke Who drove out the crusaders in 1291 and ruled until 1516 at times encouraged Jewish settlement, and many Jews came to Palestine to escape from Christian persecution in Europe. After 1517 under the Ottoman Turks the Jews of Europe continue to seek refuge in Palestine from Christian persecution and expulsion despite spasmodic ill treatment by their Muslim rulers.From 1946 to 1960/900,000 Jews from Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Syria,Yemen, Iraq, Morocco, Lebanon, came to the state of Israel after being kicked out of Arab lands. Those Jews make up the majority population of the state of Israel today. Genetically Ashkenazy, Mizrachi , and Sephardic Jews are all similar. In addition having a common culture, language, and beliefs. In November 1947 after the Jews accepted resolution 181 and the Arabs rejected it the Arabs started a civil war . In May 1948 the modern state of Israel declared its independence, and five Arab armies attacked the State of Israel . These historical facts happen before reference to the late Bronze Age and the Jewish kingdoms of Judea and Israel and the era of King David Solomon, Saul, and the judges.The post modernist concept of colonialism which you apply has no application in the history of Israel and focuses on ideological myth instead of historical fact.
@@johndunne7900 putting aside that my claims were not refuted, I’d like to turn to the only relevant part of your comment, which is the Zionist/Israeli acceptance of partition, they definitely accepted that in principle, they were 1 third of the population of the British mandate of Palestine and they were given 55% of the land and they ended up with 78% after the 1948 war, Israelis clearly cannot accept a win The attack from Arab countries came after Zionist militias had already started the Nakba, the Arab rulers then only reacted from public pressure as the refugees were arriving in their cities, and even then these rulers mainly cared about grabbing the Arab bits of the partition as opposed to a genuine display of solidarity. The expulsion/mass emigration happened after the creation of Israel, those Jews were victims of nationalism, both Israeli nationalism(a variant of Zionism) and Arab Nationalism, and also the experiences in all those Arab countries you mentioned varied, and in some instances there was Israeli sabotage and interference Lastly, that doesn’t change that Israel has existed for 75 years, it’s a settled matter and in practise it denies the Palestinians the same rights they enjoy is service of the greater Israel project, it really is that easy
Talmudic Jewish Zionism allied with the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and King Sharif Hussein to seize the land of Palestine, and they succeeded. The Jews allied with the Christians and Muslims, Sharif Hussein, to seize the land of Palestine, and they succeeded in doing so. 💪✌👍😂❓
splendid 🙂✌️️️! Do not waste your time - Promo sm!!!
