On the topic of colonization, FYI
If you call Israel colonizers, not only do you not know history or geography, you also clearly need to get your eyes checked. Look at the map. Who colonized whom?
And don’t even get me started on ethnic cleansing. The only one guilty of ethnic cleansing in the Middle East is well, almost every country EXCEPT Israel.
If colonialism is the crime, let’s talk honestly:
Islam was born in Arabia & spread through conquest across the Middle East, N. Africa, Persia, parts of Asia
Arab Muslims now dominate over 99% of the regions of the middle-east and North Africa and is currently making massive gains in sub-saharan africa and India -so spare us the lectures about ‘settler colonialism’ when the most successful & enduring imperial colonial project in the middle east and North Africa region came from Mecca on the Arabian Peninsula)
ONE CAN EASILY TELL WHO COLONIZED WHO BY WHAT LANGUAGE IS SPOKEN. FOR EXAMPLE THE FRENCH, BRITISH, SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE COLONIZED THE AMERICAS. THE MAIN LANGUAGES SPOKEN ARE ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE.
I SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE TELLING YOU THIS. IT’S FUCKING OBVIOUS.

Notes
Exclusions: Countries like Japan, Thailand, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iran, China, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are often cited as never formally colonized, though some faced significant foreign influence or temporary occupation (e.g., Ethiopia by Italy, 1936-1941).
Multiple Colonizers: Some countries (e.g., South Africa, Sri Lanka) were colonized by multiple powers over time, often transitioning after wars or treaties.
Conquest vs. Colonization: The list includes territories taken in wars (e.g., Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire) but focuses on colonial administration rather than short-term military occupations.
Current Territories: Some regions (e.g., Puerto Rico, Guam) remain non-self-governing territories but are not listed as they are not sovereign nations.
If you call Israel colonizers, not only do you not know history or geography, you also clearly need to get your eyes checked. Look at the map. Who colonized whom?

IT’S TIME WE ADMIT THAT MANY OF THE MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS ARE NOT REPORTING THE WAR. THEY ARE COMPLICIT IN WAGING ONE.
This is rather glaringly apparent at the CBC and BBC which have evidently been infiltrated and corrupted by Islamist factions and this is no accident; it IS part of a concerted effort and plan by The Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, Iran, et al to infiltrate, subvert and corrupt western media outlets.
On the topic of Al Jazeera English; It is styled after modern western media outlets but is little more than the propaganda arm of Hamas, The Muslim Brotherhood, the Qatari regime.

This list is still not exhaustive, as Islamic influence has spread to many other countries and regions throughout history. The aggresive and insidious Islamic expansion, by hook and by crook, is very much ongoing and, in fact, accelerating at this time. If you appreciate separation of church and state, equal rights, freedoms and protections in the law for all, free speech and free press you should be very concerned about this fact and be aware and then take action.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
