no good guys
Yes there are. Hero doctors and nurses who risk their lives to save civillian patients. Aid workers. World Central Kitchen workers.
That's the side we should be on.
That was a pretty spectacular fail.
Colonizers.
They aren't just in a colony, they are actively engaged in colonizing and trying to take more land through violence.
Israel was also funding Hamas.
No nation on Earth would have reacted any differently.
I see this canard a lot, and it's simply not true.
There are plenty of nations that don't have track records of ignoring international law and committing egregious human rights abuses, including during armed conflict.
It is simply not reasonable to assume those countries would start a campaign of massive civilian slaughter.
The tiny angry girlfriend who is also killing children and old people in her basement?
They're being a bit futile. If your default sort is active it doesn't hide any downvoted comments.
And if you're on an instance like Kbin or Beehaw, downvotes don't even affect vote count because the downvotes are not federated.
That's just semantics though.
People lived there, they had houses and fields and orchards and olive plantations and businesses, they lived normal, free lives with their friends and families.
All that has been taken away from them. I don't care if you call it "owning a country" or not, the reality is that their lands and livelihoods were stolen using violence.
That makes sense. When I first started researching the history of US colonization it took me ages to twig that half of it's filed under cute things like "Westward expansion".
I like Here We Go (used to be Ovi). Its realtime traffic is pretty good.
