"With the writing of 'The Hundred Year War on Palestine–A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017', Rashid Khalidi has created an interesting well-written overview of the Zionist colonial-settler enterprise in Palestine.
"One of the underlying features of the creation of Israel is how well it fits into the colonial-settler mindset that established the current Five Eyes scenario of the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia within the global influence of the British empire.
"The indigenous people of each of those regions were effectively done away with, labelled 'savages' and 'uncivilized', beneath contempt, and essentially to be eliminated through various means of genocide and ethnic cleansing."

One hundred years ago European Jews launched the Zionist movement expressly designed to turn Palestine into a Jewish majority state. There were ten times as many non-Jews as Jews living there at that time, and many of the Jews thought it a bad idea.
By 1948 when Israel lurched into existence the ratio between non-Jew and Jew had shrunk to 2:1.
Today there are roughly equal number of each Semite tribe living between the River and the Sea.
Creation of a unitary, federal, or confederate Israel-Palestinian state would seem the only democratic solution to the apartheid Zionist state; how many UN Peacekeepers in the Jordan Valley would that require?
