Okay, so now I am on to Part 2.
He says (paraphrased): Had the Jewish people come to the land and said: We see this land as our homeland, we want to revive the Jewish Nation, a Hebrew nation, we want to speak Hebrew, we want to come back, we want a Hebrew university, Hebrew literature, we are being persecuted and we need a place of refuge. But we acknowledge and recognize an Arab peoples living here ... there would have been no conflict.
Dude! That is EXACTLY what happened. That is exactly what the Jewish people did. That is exactly what the international community supported.
Not true. The British "offered" the Palestinians a minority position in the government when they were over 90% of the population. Everything the Palestinians opposed, like the settler colonial project, went through anyway.
There is no Jewish settler colonial project.
Only the Indigenous Jewish people joining the other indigenous Jews on their ancient homeland to become sovereign over it again.
The Arabs, with their attacks and endless NOs to anything which would give Jews any sovereignty over their own ancient homeland are losers, and they hate losing.
That is their problem.
They lost all the wars against Israel.
To the VICTOR comes the spoils.
And Israel is living the fruits of its success, as the Arabs are living the fruits of their loss of wars, and loss of honor and the hatred of Jews they have learned from the Quran.
The Arab Muslim leaders need to abandon their shame culture and think about the future as oil and donations are not going to be there forever.
It has been a colonial project since at least 1899:

An article about a Conference of Zionists published on July 20, 1899 in the New York Times depicts how the Conference sought to “colonize Palestine” and discussed the purchasing of land with English Zionists.
World Bulletin/News Desk
An article about a Conference of Zionists published on July 20, 1899 in the New York Times expresses that the Zionists “will colonize Palestine.”
The article explains that the conference discussed a paper from the English Zionist Federation “proposing the re-establishment of Judea as an independent State, suggesting the purchase of the Maccabean sites in Palestine, and the beginning of the work by the establishment of a Jewish colony and a Jewish Agricultural College there.”
It further clarifies that “The site to be purchased comprises about fifty acres, six miles from a station on the railroad between Jappa and Jerusalem, and within sight of the sea and a large stretch of the Palestinian coast.”
It notes that English Zionists have gathered 2,500 dollars in the currency of the period and request that quantity from the American Zionists.
The article also explains that “On motion of Dr. Wise, the Federation voted $100 as the nucleus of the required fund of $2,500, the remainder to be raised by subscriptions from the 125 societies and individuals, both Jews and Gentiles. A general appeal to the public will be made.”
It also conveys that delegates will be elected at the Zionist meeting in Baltimore.

The straightforward and comfortable manner with which the colonization is pursued is indicative how, before having to be concerned with the image of Zionism and public relations, Zionist leaders depicted their movement as a colonial mission during a time in which European nations were colonial powers.
