I would have said, “settler colonial state”. What that state is doing to the Palestinians will, in the lense of history, be seen as equivalent to what the United States did to the indigenous peoples.
“Infestation” is too close to fascist antisemitic tropes and while criticism of Israel is NOT automatically antisemitic, it can be.

Yeah, fair enough. I just didn’t want to call them a country. They’re invaders committing a slow genocide of the Palestinian people.
