The Palestinians were colonized by the British Empire at the beginning of the 20th Century. They have been subjected to Israeli invaders since at least 1948.
>>"They have been subjected to Israeli invaders since at least 1948."
Actually much before that CK. In the excellent book "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi, he describes how Zionists (from Europe) have been attacking and uprooting Palestinians (including Bedouins, Christians, and even colored Jews) from the region since at least 1917.
Yes, though the collusion was far greater than just the American Empire - it started with the 'League of Nations' which eventually morphed into the UN. The collusion was that of most of the members of the fledgling UN of 1947-48 (when there were just 57-58 members and not many Global South countries had either representation or a say in the matter).
When the British invaded the USA, circa 1817, the Americans repelled them in the famous Battle of 1812. If the British tried to invade, again, the Americans would continue to repel them.
There really is no moral justification for the repeated invasions, anywhere. However, indigenous people have a natural right to self defense and the right to expel unwanted invaders.
Irgun and Haganah terrorists as well as Stern in 1936 massacred entire villages and threaten thousands to leave or die! Same tactics used since then until today.
Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young general's reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt in 1798 and showcasing his fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multi-faceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleon's army, including how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land. Cole ultimately reveals how Napoleon's invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.
Napoleon and the French army left Egypt in 1799, but the French remained in Egypt for another two years, until they finally surrendered to the British on Sept. 2, 1801 turning over, among other things, the prized Rosetta stone.
Before he departed in October 1799, Napoleon captured Gaza and Jaffa (part of modern Tel Aviv), but the roguish Sir Sidney Smith engineered a huge British victory at Acre, the city known as “the key to Palestine.”

p.s. This, of course, does not take into account the superstition, mythology if you "feel" better, of the so-called "Torah." see, including, but not limited to, so-called "Deuteronomy," a Moses story, at Deuteronomy 10:20 etc et.
All good history related to the strategic importance of Palestine.
The discovery of Palestinian petroleum fields made the region even more important for the British Navy that was converting its warships’ boilers to burn raw petroleum instead of coal.
The US and UK fossil fuels companies want to control access to all of the oil/gas fields of the entire Middle East.
The newly (1948) created state of Israel is a US military staging area and listening post for such control.

Yes, but modern Israel didn’t exist until the British Empire created it circa 1948, with some collusion with the American Empire.

So? The Americas were colonized by the British Empire even earlier. Is that any justification for the same thing happening over and over everywhere?

Susan T, I think CK means it in a positive way (i.e. just adding info), and not as an excuse or justification.

Behind everything: are the British!
And behind them are the globalist banking families (and their lackeys). ;-)
