What nation were these "colonists" citizens of? You neglect to tell. Again. Still.
Several European nations, just as the colonists of South Africa were.
Europe is not a sovereign nation, Cupcake.
While I admit that Netherlands is in Europe, Europe sent no colonists anywhere... not even to South Africa.

It was an inside job. The yet to be named state of Israel was created inside Palestine under the wing (or the gun) of the British in the mandate period.
"In the life of the Jewish community, the Jewish Agency occupies a special place in virtue both of its status under article 4 of the Mandate and as a representative organization of world Jewry.

Of the thirty seven people who signed Israel's declaration of independence, only one was born in Palestine and he was the son of settlers. Israel's intended population was recently imported settlers.
Israel is a settler colonial project occupying Palestine.
