In a way I tend to agree with you in the sense that european colonisers have been doing this for centuries, even through christian religion. On the other hand I am not sure about the rest of the world, especially during last century.

In the article, they also say:

Jewish Voice for Peace and National Students for Justice in Palestine released a statement on social media, calling it “a clear attempt by the university to restrict the free speech of their students.”

“To Columbia and other institutions too cowardly to stand against genocide and apartheid, history will not reflect kindly on your silencing tactics, or your bullying of students,” reads the statement. “These young adults are standing up for what they believe in and trying to make the world a better place — as should we all.

Thank you very much for your input.

I must admit I am not a fan of Time magazine. So far, and according to my knowledge, I highly appreciated Shuster even though I seldom agree with him, and I held a high opinion of his reporting. As it happens, I agree with his take this time.

The testimony of Darka Hirna is news to me and I have to take it into consideration.

Within the next week I will hopefully have the time to reevaluate his journalistic approach, taking into account what is mentioned above. If I have something to add, it will be in a comment bellow. Unless this post is removed anyway.

In case you have some additional elements that would help me in this research, please provide them here. I would be grateful.

I wonder why you say this? Anyways, I had the same conversation yesterday, so I hope you won't mind if I just copy-paste the answer.

According to the United Nations they are settlers. [link - March 2022]

“There is today in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967 a deeply discriminatory dual legal and political system, that privileges the 700,000 Israeli Jewish settlers living in the 300 illegal Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank,” said Michael Lynk, the UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967

Also even The Times of Israel calls them settlers

So, I think it would be fair to say it is the correct word?
