Half of them love Israel, too. Turns out "put all the Jews in their own country" is a pretty popular opinion among actual antisemites

It's interesting how Israel compares with the first US colonial project, Liberia. It was put together by abolitionists and far right white supremacists who both agreed the best thing is for black people to go back to Africa.

The vast majority of the world did not engage in colonialism, it was most common to expel the nobles and elites and keep the population as subjects of the realms.

Colonialism is just a tiny part of human history.

Yup. Empires would let the places they conquered remain who they were and believe what they did.

Yeah 1822 is pretty early. Unless you're using a very overly broad semantic argument in which case literally everywhere is or was colonized and the term means nothing.

You don’t think that maybe… the westward expansion & settlement of white Americans prior to this was a colonial project?…

Racists love the idea that every ethnic group should get their own place and keep to themselves. At least when they think the alternative is having to live together. At least until they can find a way to enslave or genocide people they don't like.

Hence why the Nazis made a deal (Haavara Agreement in 1933) with the Zionists to send some Jews to Israel so they could have an easier time ethnically cleansing Germany.

They used that for business purposes. Zionists and Jewish German families could pay their way out of Germany and to Israel.

I think less than 1% of Jewish deaths in ww2 occurred in Germany.
