Can Israel's existence be described as a form of colonialism or imperialism?
No. "Palestine" was a barely populated hinterland in Southern Syria, full of barren fields and deserted towns, because the Ottoman unjust tax system left the landowners without practical motivation to invest in agriculture while getting nickeled and dimed for such efforts.
European Jews first came as agricultural investors and communal living advocates. Politics didn't figure out until much later.
