Settler Colony

According to Cornell Law School, the concept of settler colonialism can be defined as a system of oppression based on genocide and colonialism, that aims to displace a population of a nation (oftentimes indigenous people) and replace it with a new settler population. In the context of Palestine, settler colonialism refers to the ongoing process of establishing and expanding illegal "Israeli" settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Syrian Golan Heights. It involves the displacement and dispossession of Palestinians from their land, resources, and livelihoods, while promoting the demographic and political dominance of Jewish "Israelis" in those areas.
