Israel: A Colonial-Settler State? Maxime Rodinson

On the eve of the 1967 war his Israel: A Colonial-Settler State? Israel's essentially colonial-settler origin provides a convincing explanation for its deep and broad violence. Israel is a colonial settler state, with an apartheid system of segregation, with specific privileges granted on the basis of religious/ethnic identity. But the same USA has a gall to teach "democracy" to Russia. Struggles for building Palestine solidarity with a particular concern for African American linkages, accusations of anti-Jewish bigotry, and opposing not any particular policy of Israel, but this colonial settler state as a whole. The anti-apartheid activist, Pogrund, is stereotyping Arabs as oil rich and negating the idea that anyone might act against Israel on the principle that it is a colonial settler state based on ethnic cleansing and racist laws. Its official church is murderously racist - just as it has to be in such case. Imagine a similar call in which the black citizens of an ethnic nationalist country called “Afrikaaner Land “ are not urged to rise up and replace the settler-state with something else, but rather to become equal Afrikaaners. Israel is a colonial settler state. USA say NOT a word against them. But many states around the world that were not built upon settler colonialism are also strong supporters of Israel. In 1964 he opposed the proposition that Israel was a socialist state, in a debate with the Union of Jewish Students in France. The fact that both Canada and Israel are settler colonial states is worth considering, as I do below. By appealing to global LGBTQ communities to support the Israeli settler colonial state at the expense of Palestinians, Israel is actively engaging in the pinkwashing of apartheid and occupation.
