Black Lives Matter at School in its Oct. 17 statement called Hamas's terror attack "the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians."
"Palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not a metaphor or abstraction, but requires real, daily struggle," the group wrote.

In the modern world, Jewish immigrants bought much of the land in Israel - largely from Christians. Prior to that the area west of the Jordan was largely abandoned, with towns often being no more than a few score people around a water source, and the surrounding area devoid of people. After the Jewish homesteads improved the area, and the economy, more Arabs moved to take advantage of the increased opportunity - the newly-migrated additional Arabs outnumbering the pre-existing Arabs by a wide margin.
