Counter? Certainly not the desired result of a decolonial effort. If Israel were abolished, but the Palestine that arose was subject to the same neocolonial bondage, with the same minority owning the land and means of production, that was used as an example of a failed state by islamophobes around the world, I wouldn’t call that a desired outcome
I’m not saying it’s the ideal outcome. But it is a settler state that went through an enormous political change without the level of violence we’re seeing in Palestine now.
The big counterexample there is South Africa.
