Colonisation was no doubt a critical part of human evolution for thousands of years. It diminished as humans evolved. By the time the Zionists were making their plans to colonise Palestine they had missed the use-by date for such actions by more than a century.
Colonialism was not so much out of fashion as not required and deemed to be unjust. The Zionists were racists and atheists and have never represented Judaism, just exploited it and too many equally racist and gullible Jews.
The reality is that if the Israelis had been smart and not racists they would have done what all other nations founded through colonisation and calling themselves Western democracies have done and that is one state where the native people share the land as equal citizens with the colonists. They did not do that because their racism was entrenched and they really did and do believe non-Jews are inferior and Palestinian non-Jews, are subhuman.
Since Zionism is a half a century older than Nazism we can only wonder who got Untermenschen from whom.
If Zionists, Israelis and too many Jews did not have this rabid and racist belief in the subhuman nature of the Palestinians, they could have created a vibrant State and a healthy democracy. The Palestinians have a long history of sophistication, civilisation and respect for education and culture. The combination of the groups would have been inspiring.
But that did not happen and Israel as it was formed and as it has functioned is a taint on the modern world and an open wound for Judaism. It must be dismantled. Israelis and their supporters are too brainwashed in hate, bigotry, fear and irrational rage to ever be able to live alongside the Palestinians. There would be some exceptions but they are few. Most will have to go back to where they, their parents or grandparents came from.
Many already have with young Israelis doing exactly that in recent decades and one of the largest communities is in Berlin. They feel safer in Germany than Israel all of which validates the reality that an Israel for Jews as refuge was never needed and certainly is not needed now.
It needs to be remembered that colonial States can be dismantled after centuries. The Portugese went back after 500 years in Angola so 76 years of European colonists in Palestine, is, by comparison, nothing but a blink of time's eye.
Well said, Roslyn. Zionism is a uniquely ultra racist ideology that has spawned a state that has almost zero viability. The only other comparable ideology is nazism and we all know how well that went..

Since Zionism predated Nazism by nearly four decades and they have much in common, one wonders who got what from whom?
