Alsephina,

Settler colonialism has nothing to do with religion.

Palestine is merely good place for a colony since it’s a bridge between Asia and Africa; israel’s formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named “Colonization Commission”, “Jewish Colonial Trust” and the like.

Theodor Herzl, the founder of “zionism” was a racist who saw it as a rampart of the west in the region.

“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe. They are thus now israel’s main supporter.
