(COMMENT)Oh really? How many Arab League countries are settler colonial projects?The fact that Israel protects its borders from the corruption of the Arab Palestinians of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, is no different (conceptually) from the border controls enforced by any of the Arab League countries.
Wikipedia said:• Surrogate colonialism • involves a settlement project supported by a colonial power, in which most of the settlers do not come from same ethnic group as the ruling power. Internal colonialism is a notion of uneven structural power between areas of a state. The source of exploitation comes from within the state.
(COMMENT)Bullshit Israeli talking point.The Arab Palestinians of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, declined to participate in the establishment of self-governing institutions for nearly a century.
The Political History of Palestine under British Administration • A/AC.14/8 • 2 October 1947 said:Later in 1923, a third attempt was made to establish an institution through which the Arab population of Palestine could be brought into cooperation with the government. → ... → The Arab leaders declined that this offer on the ground that it would not satisfy the aspirations of the Arab people.
Response from the Arab Higher Committee said:“ARAB HIGHER COMMITTEE IS DETERMINED PERSIST IN REJECTION PARTITION AND IN REFUSAL RECOGNIZE UNO RESOLUTION THIS RESPECT AND ANYTHING DERIVING THEREFROM. FOR THESE REASONS IT IS UNABLE ACCEPT INVITATION”

Does this address the reality?
(COMMENT)Oh really? How many Arab League countries are settler colonial projects?The fact that Israel protects its borders from the corruption of the Arab Palestinians of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, is no different (conceptually) from the border controls enforced by any of the Arab League countries.
How many Arab League Members actually entered into an accord (an international agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law, effectively a treaty) which grants full civil and security control to the Israelis?
The description of suggesting it was some sort of "settler colonial projects" does not actually describe the situation under which the Arab Palestinian invites and consents to full civil and security control.
Your comment is actually a false analogy fallacy when your comment poorly compares two different conditions in order to illustrate a concept of some sort of colonial project.

Whether or not the points being made are "Israeli talking point" is actually irrelevant (if there is even such a thing as standing "Israeli Talking Point"). What "IS" relevant? The truth → no matter what the source of the truth; → is still the truth.
The allegation ("Israeli Talking Point") is to suggest that the Arab Palestinians DID NOT "declined to participate in the establishment of self-governing institutions."
The non-Israeli perspective is:

In terms of attitude, → the Arab Palestinians would not cooperate in "any" attempts to pursue Article 22 objective. The Arab Higher Committee Delegation stressed that "not a single Arab will cooperate with the UN Palestine Commission." Similarly, the Arab Palestinians continue to pursue (for over a half century) a policy of → no peace → no recognition and → no negotiations with Israel or any prospects for peace.
These are not "talking points" (false analogy), but rather a set of events recorded in time. The inference that they are questionable points by labeling them "Israeli" is a deliberate attempt at misdirection and misinformation. It is a disreputable practice of furthering false arguments through a fallacious analogy, → attempts to imply that the facts are untrue in spite of the historical record.

That "brought into cooperation with the government. →" meant agreeing to sign on as a subordinate part of the settler colonial project.The Political History of Palestine under British Administration • A/AC.14/8 • 2 October 1947 said:Later in 1923, a third attempt was made to establish an institution through which the Arab population of Palestine could be brought into cooperation with the government. → ... → The Arab leaders declined that this offer on the ground that it would not satisfy the aspirations of the Arab people.

This was contrary to article 22 on the LoN Covenant.

Why don't you just say Palestine?◈ The Arab Palestinians wanted then, what they wanted in 1948, and what they wanted in 1988, the entirety of the territory, formerly under the Mandate (less Jordan).
That wrote them out of national and political rights.◈ The Arab Palestinians refused to recognize The Balfour Declaration, San Remo Convention, the associated Mandate; or any situation arising or derived therefrom.
Last chance to get lost from this thread and discuss your endless Palestine in the right threads.That wrote them out of national and political rights.◈ The Arab Palestinians refused to recognize The Balfour Declaration, San Remo Convention, the associated Mandate; or any situation arising or derived therefrom.
Nobody in their right mind would sign off on that.

✪ Palestine Order in LoN Council - (10 August 1922) said:This Order may be cited as "The Palestine Order in Council, 1922."
The limits of this Order are the territories to which the Mandate for Palestine applies, hereinafter described as Palestine.

The Arab Palestinians had no "national and political rights." They were only guaranteed as having "the civil and religious rights as non-Jewish communities" covered by the Mandate.

National and Political Rights did not apply to the Arab Palestinians for another half-century (plus) after the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate:
◈ International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR)
entered into force 23 March 1976
◈ International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR)
entered into force 3 January 1976
