I wouldn't usually continue to engage, but you don't actually come across as a hasbarist. I do agree with quite a few of the things you've said, but the conclusions you seem to come to regarding modern Israel are, at the very least, confusing.

If you understand Zionism's history then you must understand that the modern state of Israel would not exist without Zionism. One of Zionism's core principles is colonisation^. Therefore, Israel is a settler-colonial state. The circumstances and motivations of the individual settlers are irrelevant when the outcome is the same. Knowing this yet still claiming that Israel is not a settler-colonial state is deceitful.

^Wikipedia is not an ideal source of information, but that particular page cites more than enough quality sources that clearly show this to be the case.

The views I have expressed are mostly directed specifically at the state, not every single individual. Anyone with any sense understands that no group of people consists of identical individuals. You have made a lot of assumptions about my views. Just because I can see why something happened does not mean that I agree with it.

These issues and events existed well before Netanyahu, and whether or not the citizens like him is largely irrelevant when polls repeatedly show that the vast majority approve of the general treatment of Palestinians.

While my comment about Australia was facetious, the intent was to point out that, regardless of the history, the treatment of the local populations in both situations is wrong, but in Australia amends are slowly being made. I don't think the comment you're referring to meant "peaceful coexistence" in the sense that there was absolutely no conflict (they did say "no major conflict"), but were more likely thinking along the lines of "peaceful enough to coexist", whereas that is not how I would describe the current situation at all.
