Israel is a colonial power
Where are or were their colonies?
"Israel" itself is a western colony in Palestine. Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named "Colonization Commission", "Jewish Colonial Trust" and the like.
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called "zionism", was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
Israel isn't a colony, it was one. And that doesn't mean that everything Israel does is directed by "colonial powers" or that it is one itself.
Gaza Anything that needs to go into Palestine is controlled by Israel. Egypt only allows limited humanitarian aid to enter and no commercial goods are allowed into Gaza from Egypt
No, Israel is a Prison Colony to which Europe deported the Jews from their countries. While the right wingers among the deported Jews became the toughest Prison gang and were given control, they were not responsible for the colonization. That was done by the same powers as the rest of the colonized countries.
