The argument is that Israel is a settler colonial state still actively colonizing Palestine.No. The argument is that in 17 years, Hamas has not learned to stop firing rockets and conducting attacks on Israel even thought they know Israel will retaliate and inflict even more damage. Are they that stupid? I guess they're not worried.
The fact that put 2 million, mostly refugees, in a giant concentration camp and expected to continue the colonization is madness.
"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves …politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves. The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.” — David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2
