It is still a colony, but America seized it after the British Empire fell.

You really don't fucking understand the difference between a colony and an allied nation, do you?!?

It is a fascist colony, practicing ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.

Not a colony, not fascist, not ethnic cleansing (but abominable treatment of the Palestinians).

Illegal Israeli settlements.  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_se...est%20Bank.
"Israel continues to expand its remaining settlements as well as settling new areas.
As of January 2023, there are 144 Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including 12 in East Jerusalem. There are over 100 Israeli illegal outposts in the West Bank. In total, over 450,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank excluding East Jerusalem, with an additional "220,000 Jewish settlers residing in East Jerusalem"
The Israelis are not "innocent".

Fascist nope. Not a very good country?  Yes. But Fascist? No

You have no idea what a colony is. 


Quote:practicing ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.
No, I would argue gradual displacement through the use of soft pressure which is not ethnic cleansing. Hamas by contrast has made its genocidal intent clear.

No point in prettying up. Plenty of people at UN human rights have believed it was ethnic cleansing, but maybe we'd feel better calling it an apartheid state. Either way, trash.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
