Elder of Ziyon
B'er Sheva, April 27 - The foreign transplants exploiting the land of Palestine on behalf of the regimes from which they or their ancestors hail continue to rape the land of its resources and persecute the native population for purposes of extracting everything they can for the benefit of those home countries, which is what colonialists do, except that hold on a moment, this part of the paragraph is supposed to complete the thought that Israeli Jews are part of a colonial outpost for their ancestral countries, but that means Israel is a colony of Russia, Poland, maybe Germany? Half of Israel's Jews have ancestry that spent centuries in the Islamic world, so maybe Iran? Algeria? Help a reporter out here. The Czech Republic?
Pro-Palestine activists continued this week, in the shadow of Israel's seventy-fifth Independence Day, to describe the establishment of a sovereign Jewish entity in the land that Jews have claimed as their home despite ancient exile as yet another manifestation of Western imperialism with indigenous people of color as the victims, all as part of an oppressive enterprise to take advantage of the people and resources of Palestine for hold on, this is making less and less sense. The mighty kingdom of Rumania? Tzarist Russia? the politically-nonexistent Poland of the nineteenth century, partitioned by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, from which tens of thousands of Jews emigrated to Palestine during the first decades of the Zionist movement?
Anyway, the activists leveled their familiar accusations at Israel for constituting a foreign entity sucking the goodness out of the land for the sake of the foreign home country where they really belong, which presumably means Iraq? Yemen? The reporter did not get a chance to follow up with the activists by the filing deadline, and therefore a coherent answer, if any, will occur only in the next day's edition of this publication, at the earliest. Tunisia? Kurdistan? Turkey?
Turkey makes a little bit of sense, at least, analysts say, considering that Ottoman Turks controlled Palestine for more than four hundred years until the British ousted them in 1917, but modern political Zionism began when the Turks were still in control, and no "Palestinian" Arabs, or at least no anti-Zionists, at the time, called those migrants "colonists." Maybe the Hapsburgs? Romanovs? Hohenzollerns?
Sophists of various sorts have attempted as well to expand the use of the term "colonialism" to cover influence by foreign powers of minimal representation among the colonist demographic, such as the US, but no coherent description has emerged as to how that differs from any dynamic of international relations, regardless of the ancestry of the people running the country.
