    You’re right, he should have remembered the genocide of Natives in the Americas that inspired the Holocaust.

      I’d like to think if what happened to the indigenous American tribes was happening now, other nations would at the very least, call it out as genocide - so I don’t see why you’d have a problem with someone highlighting the irony of the Jewish state killing people just because of their ethnicity. They murder so indiscriminately that they’ve killied their own citizens who had been held hostage. The hated is hard to fathom.

        I have a problem with a leader in the Americas overlooking the genocide in the Americas. It’s important that people understand the genocide in Gaza as a settler-colonial genocide against an indigenous population.

            Not at all! They are like Nazis, for sure, but it’s even more accurate to compare it to the American genocides. This isn’t just a fascist government killing off a surplus population, it’s a settler-colonial government killing off the indigenous population. It’s important this is centered when we talk about Palestine.

            Especially from a leader in the Americas.

            There was genocide all across the Americas. In South America there was less extermination, yes, but systematic destruction of culture and language and identity was rampant. Lots of enslavement too. Less direct killing, but genocide just the same.
