IS ISRAEL A COLONIAL ENTITY?

1. Is Israel truly a colonial state?

Many argue that Zionism is just another form of colonialism. But does Israel’s history actually fit the definition of colonialism?

2. Are the Jewish people indigenous to the land of Israel, or not?

The answer to this question lies at the heart of the debate over legitimacy.

3. Does Zionism amount to settler colonialism?

Or is it something fundamentally different — a movement of national liberation?

This claim appears often in activist circles. But does it survive contact with Israel’s demographics and history?
