Netanyahu accuses Britain and France of inventing colonialism. Which is a lie. Colonialism is thousands of years older than either modern Britain or France. Ancient examples include Greek colonies around the Mediterranean, Phoenician settlements such as Carthage, and Roman colonial expansion.

And if Israel is presented as the successor to ancient Judea, the argument is more absurd, ancient Judea practiced territorial conquest and expansion long before Britain or France existed. The Hasmonean kingdom conquered Idumea, Samaria and Galilee, incorporating them into an expanding Judean state.
