You are (I think wittingly) mistaking similarities between situations (Israel and one of the true European colonies of past) to be the same thing. Those who say Israel is apartheid or Nazis are doing the exact same thing. Taking one or two or three things which are similar and saying that because of these weak similarities the 2 situation are the same. The problem you are facing is that colonialism, as apartheid, as Nazism all has very distinct definitions, and Israel just don't fit those definitions. The fact that it was supported to some extent by imperialist powers, in itself certainly doesn't mean it is, or ever been, a colonialist state.
