Ze'ev Jabotinsky outright compared the colonialist Zionsim, which he supported, to the colonization of the Americas. They knew what they would do to the natives, all along.
"Our Peace-mongers are trying to persuade us that the Arabs are either fools, whom we can deceive by masking our real aims, or that they are corrupt and can be bribed to abandon to us their claim to priority in Palestine , in return for cultural and economic advantages. I repudiate this conception of the Palestinian Arabs. Culturally they are five hundred years behind us, they have neither our endurance nor our determination; but they are just as good psychologists as we are, and their minds have been sharpened like ours by centuries of fine-spun logomachy. We may tell them whatever we like about the innocence of our aims, watering them down and sweetening them with honeyed words to make them palatable, but they know what we want, as well as we know what they do not want. They feel at least the same instinctive jealous love of Palestine, as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico, and the Sioux for their rolling Prairies."
Followers of Ze'ev formed the Irgun and Lehi terrorist groups. The leaders of those two terrorist groups formed Likud, and were each elected as PMs. Israelis, to this day, celebrate those terrorists as "heroes".
