a settler colonial state shouldn't exist no matter who it's for
Liberia was a US imperial + colonial project formed to combat the 'problem' of the growing free Black pop. in the US during slavery.
These free black people coming from the US oppressed the Indigenous ppl there too
They held a high concentration of the power +governance+ land there and the Indigenous pop. became 2nd class citizens
The establishment of Israel in 1948 is a settler colonial project. It too was used by the West to enact antisemitism on Jewish people- expel them from the west
Black and Jewish people (and other marginalised people) have been oppressed for centuries. The answer still isn't settler colonialism. The answer is not a 'Black' or 'Jewish' state, for example.
If your freedom entails the genocide and oppression of others, it is not freedom.
