I took college-level American history courses. I should really have something more-sophisticated to say, but, still, the word-association, in my mind, when I imagine colonies and settlers, is childish:
Pioneer Land, at Disneyland. There were palisades, made of pointy logs and a cheesy, toy gun.

Israelis built multi-story buildings, factories, and public utilities.

If you would like to apply the same wording -- indifferently, clinically, amorally -- any metro area, of any first word country, could technically be described in terms of a colony.

But, the plot thickens.

Let's assume that a third country is settling a land dispute, between you and your neighbor.

And, more-complicated-still, both sides have alliances.

Are we appreciating the seriousness of that, or is it like the more-harmless discussion on insensitive Halloween costumes, let's say of Indians, but doesn't involve any real war machines.

To Christian philosemites, you are now mentioning a Little Horn. What about the other three.

So basically you have no response but drivel. Imagine if whites had white racial colonies in the US and whites only roads etc.

Like, at the Dome of the Rock.

Paraphrased --
Imagine if (fill in the blank) had (X)racial colonies in the US and (X)only roads etc.[/quote]

There can be no other reason, besides ignorance or animus, for anyone else to migrate to such a country.

Just the same, Palestinians were offered formal citizenship, at one time, and Jews have been evicted from "Palestine" by the Israeli govt.
