Like the Palestine-Israel conflict which a lot has happened since it started, you can barely argue or talk about it if you are literally out of the loop without mistepping because its just a too complex situation for us westerners.

so if some empire basically makes you religion illegal and extirpates/banishes your people from your historical homeland, you forever should submit to that fact?

the conflict goes back a lot further than 1948 and the founding of the state of Israel. The jews were refugees for centuries before they went back to Palestine and the state of israeli was a haven from the oppression they faced in their diaspora communities across the western and muslim worlds. in fact most israelis don't come from the west/europe, they come from arab countries.

but hey don't let complexity get in the way of your simplified notion of colonialism is bad and all colonialists are oppressors.
