ive been viewing gaza-israel through the lens of the holocaust, but i realize now that its an improper analogy. a better one would be the war of european settlers against the native americans, or the colonization of america. the main difference being the first is sequestering a population, while the second is an invasion and progressive siege of another's homeland. 

unfortunately, this new metaphor bodes worse for the outcome for the palestinian people

yes. settler colonialism shows how imperialism works by breaking apart indigenous ppls, taking land, and blocking self-sufficiency. strategy of control. israel functions as a western-backed settler outpost, fragmenting and structurally dispossessing Palestinians over time

pretty crazy that they think they can get away with such brutality today, esp against the backdrop of modern post/anti colonialism
