It’s a bit annoying having your history being told by people who do not understand it. I am sure you can at least see where I am coming from there. The word colonizer gets thrown a lot describing Israelis, it is completely inaccurate. The Jews who founded Israel were merely surviving in a world that continues to attempt to exterminate them.

For sure. The Jewish people's history is there, origin is there, religious sites are there. That's why I disagree with anyone who says they don't deserve their own country because they were "imported" into the region. And then you add what happened to them during the Holocaust and it makes their case for a Jewish homeland even stronger.
