Originally Palestine was under british mandate and reluctantly let jews into it, but then zionist militias radicalized, got armed by the soviet union, and fucked over the brits and the arab palestinians. Technically they were anti-colonial terrorists that overtook some institutions of british colonialism. It's like when you hop into an MMORPG and see the unemployed beat some elder dragon or something and then you drop by out of nowhere for the last hit and get all the rare loot out of it

To be fair to the Zionists of that period, if some of the planet's major forces had just tried to wipe me out completely, I'd also be radicalised and fight to create a little space for myself to be safe in.

Despite what many anti-Zionists say, I don't think the founding of Israel had to do with Jewish supremacism or religious zealotry nearly as much as "ok, we really need a country for ourselves, to survive."

@taylan @anemone @dagda @subnetter the pre-foundation zionist movement and the exact details of the foundation and maintenance of the state of israel are not exactly the same thing and often not even the same people.
