Most of the Palestinians moved to the area following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War 1.

And the region has seen mass migrations of people for millenia as it has changed hands between the Ottoman Empire, the Abbasid Caliphate, the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, the Persian Empire, the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonians, and plenty of others in between.

Everyone who lives there is a colonizer at some point in the last few hundred years.

Well thanks for sharing I suppose. Its rare to see a definition of colonialism this dumb and a lie so brazen.

The Palestinians took the lands from previous peoples. Sounds like colonization to me.

Either everyone currently in the Palestine area is a colonizer, or no one is.

I mean I probably shouldnt bother but here is some reading material on US colonialism in case you want to see what people actually mean by colonization (it’s not immigration)

do with it what you will. There is a text at the very end comparing Zionism and US Settlerism.
