That's either plain laziness or a means of ignoring evidence that doesn't suit their world view.

You paint pictures with a very broad brush, Andrew. You will never understand ‘right wingers’ as you put it. I certainly don’t think of anything is colonialist terms.
The problem with where we are now may have started way back in history, but the problem now is getting a just solution to the problems history has created. That must commence with peace talks, which is not possible while Hamas is in this poisonous mix.
As for colonialism, this is a left wing obsession. Colonialism was before my time, and yours.
