You wrote "Palestine is a settler-colony of Israel". Nobody on either side of the conflict believes that. Your response here is a non sequitur.

[thisislife2]

Are you talking about grammar? Would you prefer that I write Israel is a settler-colonial state?

[tptacek]

At least that claim would parse? The issue isn't grammar!

[thisislife2]

Yes, it would and I have already shared some sources for the claim. So your assertions, without any supporting arguments for it, doesn't really sway me. Anyhow, I think we may have reached the limit of this kind of discussion on HN. If you want to explore this topic more, with others, https://politics.stackexchange.com/ would be a better place for this topic.
