    I think a lot of groups would have similar problems if they kept track of their genealogy over 3,000 years. Maybe where people you were related to 150 generations ago lived should not dictate global policy.

      I live next to Germany, who conquered my country not even a handful of generations ago.

      Nobody blames the current Germans.

      Exactly, this is why decolonization is a crazy solution.

      Any solution needs to focus on where people are today. Focus on getting what they need.
