Do you feel the same way about native Americans?
We’ve yet to reckon with what we’ve done or make amends with them, and we’re still giving them the shaft to this day, so yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Back
You think native Americans should mandate the total destruction of all other Americans who weren’t there before them? Oh now I see what’s going on here.
Please enlighten us, what is going on here, other than you conflating a people with a state?
One major difference is that we have made peace with the native Americans. And they have their own reserves.
Israel could sign a two state solution with the Palestinians at this very moment. That would be the moment Palestinians would heavily lose the right to destroy the other.
But Israel in its infinite wisdom is determined to never sign a peace deal and let Palestinians have their own land as long as they are militarily superior.
And when a time comes the Palestinians are militarily superior they sure as hell won't be stupid enough to give a bunch of filthy colonists a part of their land anymore.
That said, native Americans are definitely owed far more compensation than they have received.
Peace under the threat of total extermination, after getting 99% exterminated, is not a peace, it is subjugation. Natives today are still subjugated.
Ah, that makes it all ok, all in the past, no hard feelings.
I don’t see Native Americans with their own military or government. And if they were determined to form their own while blatantly insisting they would use that power to destroy you, I doubt you would be cheering them on.
