Again, you are right on all points to moderate the language used to designate and denigrate Israelis - the most ironic term being "white European" - this meme is false to fact, since over 55% of the Israeli Jewish population is Sephardic i.e. technically Arab/Semitic - genetically (not religiously) the same as Palestinians who for some reason get the more legitimate moniker of "indigenous". Although I agree with you, I believe that "Settler colonialist" - a term that I would rebrand as "settlement activity in the West Bank" - is still the number one flashpoint behind this conflict. Israelis will need to determine as a group (democratically) whether they want to continue supporting settlement activity, or opt for a negotiated solution. Again, I believe that halting settlement activity much like ending segregation in pre-1960s America is a non-negotiable condition for peace and prosperity. There is just no justification for it in a law/rule based order of things.
