The reason Israel keeps getting attacked is because it’s a colony that seeks to create a regional empire. The reason they didn’t lose is because Egypt halted their forces instead of pushing for victory.
The entire region WAS a regional empire immediately before Israel existed, the Ottoman Empire. They picked the wrong side in the world war and got broken up afterwards as a result.
"Seek to create a regional empire" is also false, they gave back a ton of land that they conquered after the initial invasion because they didn't actually want it.
A decent Jewish presence has existed in that exact location for thousands of years, which kills your "it's a colony" theory.
Got any more bright ideas?
If a state created by foreign Jews stealing and re-settling stolen land does not meet the definition of colonialism, then colonies do not exist.
The same can be said about the intentional bombing of civilians and wholesale slaughter of Palestinians during this war. If this is not genocide, then there is no such thing as genocide.
If we believe your lies, then we live in a world where actions cannot be described and words mean nothing.
Created by foreign jews? That entirely depends on the timeline you're talking about. Jewish people had been living in that region for literally thousands of years, but there was a large migration of jews to the area when they got pushed out of Russia in the 1800s, and another large bunch that moved there during the second world war (for obvious reasons). They moved there BECAUSE there was already Jewish people there, and for historical reasons because the entire area (and more) is referenced as the Kingdom of Israel in the Torah, which was written a few thousand years before. Can you colonize a land that was yours to begin with but that got taken from you?
To add insult to injury, if that's your definition, then Gaza is a colony too. Very few people over 40 were actually born there, a lot of them moved there from the surrounding countries (Primarily Egypt) when Egypt invaded and took control of that region.
