There is an extremely strong difference between people who are there because of active, violent colonization and people who are there because of immigration and this is the kind of stupid equivocation that ends up carrying water for zionist expansion and rhodesian nostalgia as though they were value neutral immigrants.

they're not there becaus eof active colonization you fuckin idiot

It's actually far more than this. It's a claim on power and loyalty, deployed for a variety of purposes by a wide range of actors, some more sympathetic than others.

All you're saying here is that you're better than people who hold bag wrong opinions and that they are automatically diseased vermin for not having the correct opinions.

It's an opinion which can only be held by someone who wants credit on the basis of holding the correct ideology but doesn't understand it or how it relates to that of others.

Americans are only considered "natives" now because we exterminated enough indigenous people that they can no longer make meaningful protests about our hegemony. White settlers sure as Hell never adopted native customs, religions, or languages.

If Protestants wanted to be considered native to the island, their ancestors should have murdered a lot more Catholics.

Kinda weird to privilege that sort of thing.

according to the rules established in this thread, as the English didn't manage to wipe out our culture, I'm morally allowed to car bomb you until you leave or assimilate like whatever English ancestors I may have had did. Better start working on your pronunciation of the 'll' sound, boyo.

that directly contradicts what you said before, but it's also still wrong

subjective preferences exist regardless of the capability of the agent, and inter-subjective notions of human beings like 'justice' are a consequence of shared thoughts and feelings

Western Europe and Britain in particular obviously, were extremely cool with Palestine from its formation to a few decades ago when they started violating international law, and even after that it's taken a long time for opinion to shift. There's no reversion to the mean there, it's just been a steady decline.

Oh and I meant to say Israel in this post, not Palestine, but I think everybody got it.

They still basically created it and there was only a short period right after WWII where the two were unfriendly.
