The “settler-colonial” lie is destroying the Palestinians - not Israel. It’s the single most self-defeating idea they ever embraced. Israel isn’t a colonial project. Jews didn’t sail from a distant empire to extract resources - they returned to their ancestral home after 2,000 years of exile and persecution, to join their brothers who never left. There was no “mother country” sending settlers, no imperial army behind them. The only empire that mattered - the British - actually restricted Jewish immigration, even as millions were being murdered in Europe. The “settler” label was never academic. It was Soviet propaganda - a Cold War invention designed to turn postcolonial movements against Israel, as a USA ally. Moscow needed Arab allies and Middle Eastern oil. So it flipped the story: survivors of genocide became “imperialists,” while those who rejected partition and started wars and massacres became “freedom fighters.” And Palestinians bought it. They believed that if they fought like Algerians or Vietnamese - through terror, bombs, and intifadas - the Jews would eventually leave. But the opposite happened. Every rocket and every suicide bombing only strengthened Israel’s resolve. Instead of producing liberation, violence made the dream of statehood more remote than ever. For generations, Palestinian leaders built a political culture not around freedom but around rejection - the refusal to accept any Jewish sovereignty in any borders. From Haj Amin al-Husseini to Yasser Arafat to Hamas today, their central promise was not independence but eradication. They rejected every offer of partition, every peace plan, every diplomatic opening with no dissenting voices, and instead manufactured rage without strategy, martyrdom without progress, and leadership without accountability. The results were catastrophic. Billions in aid that could have created a modern economy were diverted into tunnels, rockets, and militias. Instead of building cities, they dug underground arsenals; instead of cultivating civil institutions, they cultivated a cult of victimhood. Schools became tools of indoctrination rather than education, and the media turned suffering into a performance for Western audiences. For Hamas and the factions aligned with it, human misery became a resource - an asset to be leveraged, not a condition to be solved. If even a fraction of that energy had gone into governance, entrepreneurship, and coexistence, Palestinians could have built one of the most advanced societies in the Arab world. But they chose annihilation over nationhood. The tragedy is that in pursuing the destruction of the Jewish state, they destroyed their own future instead. And in that choice, they revealed the fundamental miscalculation that has defined their struggle from the beginning: every act meant to weaken Israel has only made it stronger. While Palestinian leaders invested in tunnels, propaganda, and perpetual war, Israel invested in resilience - in a society that values life, innovation, and national solidarity. Decades of terror and delegitimization campaigns have not broken Israel; they’ve clarified its purpose. Every boycott, bombing, and false accusation has reminded Jews worldwide that they have no other home - that safety and survival cannot depend on the goodwill of others, only on their own strength and unity. The wars, the antisemitism, and the global hostility did not isolate Israel; they bound it together. Out of every wave of violence emerged a deeper certainty that Jewish self-defense is not optional but existential - that no army, institution, or international promise will ever protect Jews the way Jews can protect themselves. When Hamas massacred Israelis in 2023, the world saw a miracle of resilience. •Hundreds of thousands of Israelis returned from abroad to fight and rebuild. •Reservist enlistment surged beyond 100%. •Instead of fleeing, Israelis flew back. •The country grew more united, not less. Today there are more Jews living in Israel than anywhere else in the world - over 7.2 million, compared to 5.8 million in the U.S. For the first time in modern history, a majority of Jews live in their homeland. That’s not colonization - that’s homecoming. What’s truly keeping Palestinians trapped isn’t “occupation.” It’s the fanatical religious belief - shared by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, UNRWA, and the Palestinian Authority - that any Jewish sovereignty in the Middle East is heresy. It’s a theology of denial. And as long as it rules their politics, they will fight wars they can never win, sacrificing generation after generation to preserve a lie. If Palestinians truly studied history instead of soviet propaganda, they’d see the truth: Terrorism never made Jews leave. It only made them stronger and more determined. The Jews aren’t settlers - they’re natives who came home to join their brothers who never left. And the only path to Palestinian dignity begins with facing that truth.
