			colonization and settler colonialism is one particular type of conquest. It is where you come in and
you dispossess the people who were already living there of their land and kick them out or slaughter
them or do whatever you have to do to get rid of them. This is the same process by which the
Americas were conquered and settled. And it's the same exact process that the government have. And
this just movement in general has been practicing upon Palestine since the second it was able to so
this is the time where people like, you know, Theodore Hetzel, and Chaim, Weizmann and others would
send correspondences with the British Empire, asking them for land and then the British Empire would
