    This is what I mean: the scale and growth of the genocides in North America literally covered an entire content rather than a single country in Palestine but today is a paragraph about the trial of tears in American history books and a couple of signs commemorating particularly nasty episodes in the middle of nowhere and Americans are barely aware.

    It’s like the Japanese glossing over the atrocities they committed during WW2; barely acknowledged even then in the most sanitized, blameless, passive way possible.
