Thank you for a detailed article. However you are so bizarrely wrong about what colonialism is and isn't it puts into question your whole article. Colonizers arrive, take land and resources AND STAY. The staying part is the crucial element of colonialism. Whether you support it or not the Zionist project is clearly a colonialist project. Immediately after this strange claim you seem to be able to understand how it works when referring to the Palestinians. I think you may want to edit that part.
