Notice how your comparison of Israel to colonial powers distorts reality: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Israel_a... You propose that a country as small as Israel is colonizing the middle east. I am against the illegal settlements, but the compassion to colonies just doesn't fit at all.

What a bizarre objection. Colonial entities can be as small as a city-state, e.g. Singapore. The point is that a newly imported population is imposing their domination on the people that were previously there.

Israel isn't a colony even if that is a fantasy of many people. Some of those "newly imported" people were driven out of muslim countries, which are numerous as you can see on the map. Most importantly, many in those countries also don't want to deal with the problem of people living in the west bank or the Gaza strip. I believe people have a problem with Jews, a fairly know phenomenon and a problem in the culture that has to change.

Who the fck thinks india has authoritarian govt ? India has multiple news portals being harshly critical of govt 24x7 and enjoying viewership, ads and even govt ads. Is that a feature of one ? Which echo chamber news source you are referring ?

The fact there are criticism in the press doesn't mean the government isn't authoritarian. The way I see it, authoritarian means they can pass any laws they want without an effective resistance against them. I'm not speaking specifically about India here since I don't know much about the country.

Sometimes a divided country is better than a hopeless one https://twitter.com/0x101/status/1317685559414972418
