Excerpt: Historical Aspect: The Return of Settler Colonialism. The end of co-existence may lead to the annihilation not only of the whole community in Gaza but also of Palestinians in general. It leaves no choice for Israel other than to return to the early days of the establishment of Israel; that is, to establish a homeland for Jews, no matter who was living there.
