Yes, Jabotinsky and revisionist Zionists SAID they were colonizers and that Israel was a colonial enterprise, but obviously they didn't MEAN it, says the Jerusalem Post
In Jabotinsky’s lexicon, the term “colonization” meant the return of Jews to their homeland as a people, not at all foreign to the land. They would be engaged in agriculture, industry, and other enterprises that would create the foundations of a state. As for “native,” Jabotinsky simply meant the Arabs who have resided in the area of the former Judea since their conquest of the Jewish homeland in 638 CE. To think he saw those individuals, who weren’t even mentioned in the League of Nations Mandate decision, as being somehow more “native” than the Jews is a devilishly ridiculous proposition.

When I asked Mskwaasin if she had a message for her comrades back home in Toronto, she said:

"I hope they SHUT IT DOWN"

Activists on the front lines are fed up with taking all the risks while those in power weigh their safest options.
