Israel, Colonial States and Racism
One cannot speak about, or try to analyze, Zionism and its product, the State of Israel, while evading the core of their essence: colonialism. Independent of its motivations (resolving the Jewish question in Eastern Europe at the turn of the twentieth century), Zionism is a colonialist movement that has created a colonialist state. In fact, Israel is one of the youngest colonial states still existing in the twenty-first century. Zionism is colonialist in its goal and means: a Western project aimed at "civilizing" part of the un-civilized Orient, bringing modernity, progress and, much later, democracy.
