...the award would be called The Groovy and Far-Out and Outta-Sight Order of the British Empire. Just kidding. My congrats to the recipients.
Congratulations for receiving the award. This shows the support for Israel of the real UK.
So every single Briitish and Israeli person is a "colonizer"? I would like to know where you reside then. Are you an African directly descended from the first humans in the same location. Because if not, I hate to break the news to you, but by your own logic you are also a colonizer. The Arabs and the Palestinians in particular are most certainly also colonizers. The entire Middle East (-0.05% for Israel) isn't Arab/Islamic because they sprouted out of the ground; they conquered the land in bloody conflicts. Yea, you're such a "peacelover", except when it comes to the right of Jews to have national self-determination. Then it's violence all the way. Next time go by the handle "self-righteous"...
