Settler colonialism is a relatively new term. I don't believe it is mentioned in international law. However, the process of settler colonialism violates the universal rights of a people. The right to self determination without external interference, the right to independence and sovereignty, and the right to territorial integrity are all violated by settler colonialism. So, the term settler colonialism merely consolidates these violations into a single term.RE: All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss
※→ rylah, et al,
Yes! → The cry of "colonialism" is just a theme. It is an emotional plea from the immature Arab Palestinian Activists and complainants to induce sympathy from those that really don't understand the meaning of "colonial." Those that understand the international law meaning behind that terminology know that the Arab Palestinians, and those that support pro-Arab Palestinians position, misunderstand colonialism as a synonym for imperialism.
(COMMENT)But that's only marginal outcome, this trend makes Israel into a leading middle eastern country in a fashion You westerners don't realize, the more You go against Israel in Europe and US, the more the cry about "foreign colonialism" becomes irrelevant and self defeating.
Israel was not then and is not now a political-economic and/or a political-military extension of a parent country's sovereignty over the territory (formerly under the Mandate); a territory established through the settlement of colonies or administrative dependencies on the parent. But because of the misleading ways, the Anti-Israeli Lobby presents the facts relative to the Applied Powers Mandate to facilitate Jewish Immigration for establishing of a Jewish National Home (not an imperial colony).

And remember, both Britain and the Zionists openly used the term colonialism to define the Zionist project.
Colonialism is a western word, at those times they were also using terms as 'race' to refer to nations. That's how it was translated into English in Weizman - Husseini exchange. where the Arabs recognized Jews as people of the place and settlers by right, even beyond the boundaries of the mandate.
