Jewish-Israeli academia has almost entirely avoided the settler-colonial framing of Zionism

Evidence

The hegemonic framing of Zionism within a settler-colonial paradigm in Palestinian political consciousness, cultural sphere, and academic discourse at least until the 1970s and its recent return stand in sharp contrast to the almost total absence of this paradigm on the Israeli side, including in academia, not even among what became known as the New Historians, a group of revisionist historians who mainly reexamined the dominant Zionist narrative of the 1948 War (Piterberg 2015). β€” Nadim N.
