Do you define colonial as displaced persons with nowhere else to go, being dumped in the middle east by the powers that be who didnt want them in their own countries in large numbers? Those WW2 Jews were far from zionists. They were largely folks who couldnt get into the US. A distant cousin of mine who survived the camps, the russians and the arabs in the 1947 war appeared at my parents doorstep one day. He had finally gotten to America.
So its not at all colonial or imperial it was survival which is the instinct of every man, woman and child on the planet. For the arabs it would have been a matter of being accepting, particularly after the UN put its seal of approval on the state of Israel. But the arabs acted as most peoples would have i guess and thus conflict. Mike
