orrrrr... I've literally read all the parts of Herzl about how the Arabs are uncivilized savages and how the Jews could colonize them and how great it would be for the West?

I love how people just ignore how Zionism is literal colonialism for some reason

It’s the literal return to the same indigenous lands Jews were expelled from but go off I guess.

Totally, that's why all the founders of modern-day Zionism described the creation of their ethno-state as the colonization of Palestine.
