Sure you can call refugees building a new home settler colonialism if you want. Moving to new places and building homes is something people have done throughout history.

I used to love playing breakout, solitaire, and the other games included in the old black and white iPods.
There would have been no Nakba, if the UN partition plan had been accepted by the Arabs. They chose war instead, which they lost, resulting in the Nakba.
The existence of the Palestinian people is not under threat of destruction. This is a conflict about land.
Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.
Since this targets explicitly combatants, it’s not terrorism.
Different definitions of terrorism emphasize its randomness, its aim to instill fear, and its broader impact beyond its immediate victims
The attacks are extremely targeted, and thus not random at all. No terrorism.
These are extremely targeted attacks, not aimed at the wider population. It is meant to more than scare Hezbollah members for sure.
Canoe camping is great. You can pack tons of stuff inside a canoe without issue.
Well from you it’s only demonization and delegitimization of Israel paired with a gross misrepresentation of international humanitarian law.
Israel is neither an ethnostate, nor a theocracy. Poland is more of an ethnostate and a theocracy compared to it.
On the newest episode of the podcast Call Me Back with Dan Senor you can hear Nadav Eyal say that the shipment was intercepted and explosives were installed.
I have not excused any apartheid or genocide. Stop gaslighting.
Extremely innovative design with great features.
Please read the law and stop embarrassing yourself.
If Israel designates a protected/safe (there’s more detail to this) zone, then it’s a war crime of Hamas to move a military objective into it. The military objective inside a safe zone does not enjoy protection.
A hospital loses its protected status once it’s used for military purposes.

Rule 10. Civilian objects are protected against attack, unless and for such time as they are military objectives.
Rule 25. Medical personnel exclusively assigned to medical duties must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they commit, outside their humanitarian function, acts harmful to the enemy.
Hiding military operations under the red or Red Crescent is a war crime.
Rule 59. The improper use of the distinctive emblems of the Geneva Conventions is prohibited.
I’m including it because you seem to utterly unaware of international law.
Israel has attacked military objectives in safe zones. That is legal under international law. Hamas putting their weapons depots and operating bases in areas protected under international humanitarian law is a war crime. Attacking these is not a war crime.
They are not citizens. Do you think a Palestinian state in the West Bank would accept Jewish settlers as citizens?
At the moment the Palestinian Authority has the death penalty on anyone selling land to Jews.
I agree that this conflict won’t be over any time soon.
Instead of making up international humanitarian law in your head, you could read it.

Rule 24. Each party to the conflict must, to the extent feasible, remove civilian persons and objects under its control from the vicinity of military objectives.

Rule 129.
A. Parties to an international armed conflict may not deport or forcibly transfer the civilian population of an occupied territory, in whole or in part, unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand.
B. Parties to a non-international armed conflict may not order the displacement of the civilian population, in whole or in part, for reasons related to the conflict, unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand
Valid criticism. It’s good to get an idea of what’s going on in the media landscape. It’s not good as a high quality source.
How is this not super targeted? Hitting 3000 terrorists and and only a handful of civilians as collateral is exceptionally good. For you it’s probably bad anytime Israel kills one of their enemies.
