No, Argentina was never a colonial power. Argentina was part of the Spanish Empire until it gained independence in 1816. Argentina had been colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century, but it did not have colonies of its own.

No, the Republic of Ireland has never been a colonial power. Ireland was itself colonized by the British for several centuries and gained independence from British rule in the early 20th century. Ireland does not have a history of colonizing other territories or countries.

The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 followed years of British occupation and the end of the British Mandate in Palestine. While some may argue that Israel's establishment involved elements of colonialism, Israel itself has not been considered a colonial power in the traditional sense. Israel has not established colonies in other territories in the same way as European colonial empires did during the age of imperialism. The issues surrounding Israel's establishment, its ongoing conflicts with its neighbors, and its control over territories such as the West Bank have generated complex debates about colonialism, occupation, and self-determination.

The Golan Heights was originally a part of the mandate of Syria under French colonial rule from 1920 to 1946. The area came under Israeli control following the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria. Israel later annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, a move that has not been internationally recognized and is considered illegal under international law. So, the Golan Heights was not colonized by a traditional colonial power, but it has been occupied and controlled by Israel since 1967.

Syria and Israel have not been traditional colonial powers in the same way as European colonial empires. Both countries have experienced colonization by external powers in their history, with Syria being part of the Ottoman Empire and then under French mandate rule until gaining independence in 1946. Israel, on the other hand, was established as a state in 1948 following the end of British rule in Palestine.

While Israel has been accused of maintaining elements of occupation and control over territories such as the West Bank and the Golan Heights, these actions are generally not considered traditional colonialism. Similarly, Syria has been involved in regional conflicts but has not acted as a colonial power in the same way as historical European colonizers.
