"Examining the Zionist colonization of Palestine, Maxime Rodinson explains that Israel's formation was part of the pattern of 19th and 20th century colonial conquest. The Zionist movement received active support from the major imperialist powers and -like other colonialist movements- employed a nationally exclusive, racist ideology to justify the subjugation of native farmers and workers."--P.
