World's biggest settler colonial state is not Israel but the U.S. But so is Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. Are those countries supposed to disappear?

Read Adam Kirsch's very short but interesting book on this topic if you have not already: On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence, and Justice. It does a great job showing why the concept does not apply to Israel after providing an explanation of what the term means and its history.
