An outspoken supporter of genocide and colonialism? Yeah that's a ban from me.

So you're saying native Americans have every right to kill, maim and rape settler-colonialist Americans?

Where did OP say this? It is a bannable offense so please point out where, as I don't see it.

What matters isn't who came first. What matters is that no one has the right to expel a human from a land they're living in. That is the core of the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

I am pro Palestine, but have no issue with the increase of Jewish migrations in the 19th century. The problem is not Jewish migration. It is the fact that Israel expelled Palestinians from their homes, murdered them, suffocated them, and made their lives miserable.

And this is the same thing that was done to the native people of the modern day Americas.

Hamas is not even a fraction of the concern that Israel is. Casualties are not even order of magnitudes close. Even the horrific ways in which Israel has tortured and murdered Palestinians is unmatched by Hamas, despite it being a militia rather than an organized army judged by the international community.

Israel has burned children alive, they have officials who bragged about raping and torturing children, they make people destroy their own homes by THEIR OWN HANDS. And this is while Israel has the upper hand, yet it is still the more horrifying of the two by many orders of magnitude. Comparing the two is sickening.

If more than one entity massacred people, it means massacre is okay? Very strange logic. Do bad things have to be done by only one entity to be considered bad?

Yeah uhh... Not at all, actually.

Welcome to the Internet. Do you know how it works?

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

So... Average history?

No

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Other examples existing does not change that it is historically unprecedented and far from the norm. And its just a really strange and pointless thing to point.

Person A: "my dad died in a car bomb" Person B: "ehh, average family death" A: "uhh what?" B: "well, there are other examples of people dying in car bombs, dude! "

I don't doubt this at all, but any resources on this?

I love when people on the Internet say "X did Y quietly" to make it more suspenseful. This doesn't look quiet to me...
