Roll over Ben Gurion and tell Jabotinsky the news (‘Washington Note’ characterizes Zionism as colonialist)

Nir Rosen is guestposting for Steve Clemons at the Washington Note. This is good, another attack on Efraim Karsh, a guest neocon at the New York Times, titled, "It’s Not about Islam & Judaism, It’s About Anti-Colonialism, Territory, Liberation, and Lives":

On Sunday, February 28th the New York Times published an outrageous oped by Efraim Karsh full of lies, distortions and mistakes….

Karsh mentions some sort of "100-year war between Arabs and Jews." There is no 100 year war between Arabs and Jews. There is a 100 year colonial struggle between Zionist Jews and the Palestinian people (and briefly the Lebanese as well).

Note that Rosen is saying this at a beltway thinktank, a respectable one, the New America Foundation. This would have been unheard of a decade ago.
