The commenter referenced 1947. And said from nowadays PERSPECTIVE about THAT time that it's a "bigoted state project". I just reminded them that the project got its population (50%+) from Jews that ran for their lives. So his NOWADAYS perspective about that time is crazy. As from the first moment, it was about protecting Jews.

The only other alternative at the time was the US, but with limited immigration after WW2, it was obvious it couldn't be the whole story.

If you have further disagreement, please explain why in the same sentence he wrote "bigoted state project" and 1947.

EDIT: you added "(explicitly colonial)" before Zionism. And I looked at your comment history... Your are deliberately misreading stuff... good luck out there. My last words to you are: At that time before WW2, this entire area was under the Ottomans, so making a government there for Jews (enclave) by BUYING land, is colonial, and not what you try to say which is: "Kill all natives, we are the superior race". Because who at that time thought he could overthrow the Ottomans? But you don't care.
