The Israelis solidly lost a war to keep their land in the BC era, then after WWII, leaders decided to undo the loss, again by force.

That was clearly imperialism because my ancestors had never lived there, and had no claim to the land. We just wanted it. At best, we thought we could make better use of it than the natives. That was not the case with Israel, whose ancestors largely were the natives.

Absolutely fucking unhinged.

You can't get kicked out of a land 2000 years ago and claim you're still the natives. Israel has 0 claim to the land aside from their religious mythos, and the "christians" are supporting this for similar reasons since their mythos suggests that the second coming is after Israel holds the land.

AT BEST this is imperialism using religion as the excuse (you know, fairly standard imperialism). But claiming it's not imperialism is still carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate trying to handwave away the fact they're stealing land and slaughtering natives while still trying to play the victim.
