Ironically, some people get offended when a charge is made that Israel is a "settler-colonial project".

And guess what? These people act exactly like the settlers snd colonizers of imperial days or the Wild West. In this case, the Wild West Bank.

But I agree, the word is way too tame, on purpose, just as it was in the old days.

Violent supremacist squatters. Shorten it to just Supremacists?
