Original Note:
The concept of settler colonialism has been used by scholars since the 1960s and is not an 'extremely online buzzword'. https://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/file/4b1c55df-d8e7-4b08-aaa9-c13fe3b141cd/1/PDF%20(Accepted%20manuscript).pdf The issue of whether the term applies to Israel is highly contested, but early 20th century Jewish settlers (1881-1914) viewed themselves as colonisers. https://jewishstudies.washington.edu/israel-hebrew/why-israel-isnt-a-settler-colonial-state/
