White supremacist? Anyone who knows me would laugh at that.
As for "indigenous," one can argue that Arabs and Jews are indigenous to the land.
As for "colonial," what colonial country do you know of who gave up sizable portions of land it gained during conflicts initiated by its neighbors?
I actually believe Netanyahu is a horrible leader who is bad for Israel. He outright rejects the idea of a two-state solution. I am an advocate for a two-state solution. I also oppose the Israeli settlements in the West Bank. I believe they are immoral efforts to make a two-state solution impossible. Sadly, Israel's ceding Gaza did not open up room for dialogue. Instead, Israel's leadership (under Ariel Sharon) instigated Israel's total disengagement and disregard of Gaza, which was shameful and, again, a blow to those of us who support negotiations to establish a two-state solution.
I would guess you might continue your name-calling and your criticism of my "mental gymnastic responses." Please know the situation in Israel/Palestine is extremely complex, and I'm not so presumptuous as to say I know the whole truth. Please also know I am a decent human being and a pacifist at heart. I want war erased from the face of the Earth.

He's worse than that. He's a sociopath.
Likely true
I think so.
