Interesting take by Vijay here. I think I agree with him, although not surprised to hear him say that he had pushback from others.

He was asked what he thinks of settler-colonialism as a framework and how, or whether, it can be theoretically combined with imperialism.

His answer was that settler-colonialism is not useful. In the case of Israel, he thinks it is better addressed as a supremacist ethnostate and should be dismantled on that basis. If the issue is compressed into a settler-colonial model, then the implication is that the solution is to remove all Israelis from the land, which he finds objectionable. Furthermore he doesn’t want “a world of Israels”, a world of ethnically defined nations who are entitled to resist intrusion by other groups. Vijay instead argues that the end goal needs to be plurinational states that can tolerate diversity.
