Sir Francis Drake,

Israel happens to be an colonial apartheid regime occupying a nation. - this is almost the first line of your post.

Your assumption here is that the jews are the whites and that the palestinians are the blacks.
In the apartheid regime the whites in control were not jews and the blacks were not palestinians. It was the same under Colonialism. These are the facts.

there are more than a couple of arguments that imo you’ve gotten wrong.

here’s just a few.

Firstly, if Jewish Settlement is Colonial occupation that means you think that Israel is a Colonial Host country.
Please name the country that is the Colony.

Secondly, if the above is incorrect and you mean that the jewish settlers arrived as Colonizers then what you mean is that Israel is the Colony.
If this is the case, can you please name the Host country.

Thirdly, if neither of these is correct, it is impossible for the Colony and the Host to occupy the same ground.
This has never ever happenned in the history of Colonialism, in which case how can you call it that.

Fourthly, during Colonialism in South Africa, there was no Apartheid, and during Apartheid there was no Colonialism.
Could you please explain this.

I haven’t read through all your posts because I have no intention of making a point by point rebuttal. I’ve read enough to know that I need answers to these questions before going any further. If you don’t feel like it thats ok.

A just fear of an imminent danger, though there be no blow given, is a lawful cause of war. --Sir Francis Bacon
