“Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.

I think I disagree with this.

Puerto Rico is a colony. There's a very clear difference in how the empire treats colonies and how it treats extensions of itself. Israel, rather than being a colony, is actually just an extension of the US empire. It's like the 51st state, it's an equal partner in the imperial project.
