    What else to expect from a Colonialist Settler Nation ? A colonialist power that has been given nuclear weapons by another colonialist power, to make sure that the colonialist project never dies, yet that have no shame in declaring themselves the inventors of the human rights principals and “Universalism”.

      Are you talking about Israel or the United States?

      Not to disagree with your point, Zionism should be opposed. But we shouldn’t pretend the United States is any better

      The United States could be better though. And we could start by opposing colonial states such as Israel

        It’s better now, native Americans in the u.s. are allowed to freely travel and settle in the country and can easily gain citizenship and vote if they want to. If Israel allowed Palestinians to do that instead of keeping them in an open air prison this conflict would be over by now.

        In the past though all bets were off though and the u.s. repeatedly committed ethnic cleansing and genocide. Even then though they were still allowed to come and go into the u.s., seek citizenship and even buy their stolen land back if they could afford it, as unfair as that is. That’s because the reason for removing the natives wasn’t “we need to change the demographics of this place so we can have a democratic ethno-state” it was “we want there land so we can, or our slaves can farm on it”.
