Also, Palestine isn’t the only place in the world colonized by foreign Jews, it’s just the only case anyone cares about today. In 19th century Argentina thousands of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe set up a large number of agricultural settlements in the provinces of Santa Fe and Entre Ríos. Of course, the indigenous inhabitants had previously been slaughtered and marginalized by the Argentine government and the Spanish Empire before that, but does that make any difference to the justice or injustice of the process? Could they not be said to have profited from a genocide committed by others? It might be objected to this that these Jews didn’t come to build their own state but rather to contribute to the building of another one, Argentina. True enough but irrelevant to the argument here. They came and replaced the slaughtered – not displaced – indigenous population.
The rest here.
