    I’ll definitely agree with your term as well, it’s a genocide.

    Two wrongs don’t make a right… ☹️

      Two wrongs are almost never equivalent.

      Also you’re incorrect. Suicide is a wrong. Hitler was a wrong. But that turned out ok.

        Some British folks colonized and displaced the Native Americans over 200 years ago. I’m partly Native American myself, but am I all butthurt about it? Nothing I can or even should do about it.

        Yes it sucks, but things that happened decades or even centuries before I was born ain’t my problem. All they’re doing is dragging on more and more death and destruction, and that ain’t right, I don’t care how anyone looks at it.

            I wouldn’t describe it as annoyed, more like disappointed and sad.

            I’m not enough percentage Native American to qualify for their ‘benefits’ of living on reservations. I’m only like 23% or so, gotta be 25% or higher Native American to qualify for whatever bullshit benefits they get.

            And yes I do occasionally keep up with what’s going on with all that, and honestly it really has been disappointing. They never cared about the Native Americans in the first place, and that’s a very sad situation itself.

            I’m a peaceful person. Even if I have angry or upset words, I’m not about to go to war with anyone or any country, unless it’s in self defense.

            Otherwise I would be just as evil as the enemy. Gotta be better than that yo.

          At the time, they were pissed they were kicked out of the land, and I’m sure some old people still are (there are people old enough to be able to look at their family house they were kicked out of).

          But now, I’m sure most of them are passed about what’s happening now, that they get the bare minimum of calories, that they are always surveilled by drones to the point that they can’t sleep from their droning, that their trash piles up as it’s controlled by the Israelis, they can’t leave their waters or travel to other places, most of their water is poisoned, most of their family was killed by IDF, etc.
