Or be native

__MatrixMan__ 5 days ago | parent | next [-]

The natives lost something, to be sure, but I'm not sure it was property. Property is created when you kick everyone else out. I assume that's the rationale behind "property is theft," it used to be everybody's and now it's yours.

You're correct. They didn't lose property as they had no legal concept of ownership. Instead they lost their homes, their culture, and their lives. How lucky for them!

If they work hard enough, perhaps they can buy some of it back. How civilized.

Natives signed treaties which are still respected today.

The level of respect is per treaty, a blanket statement cant be corroborated as many are not respected or dont have consensus amongst the affected people of being respected

Or lose a war, or bet your property or not pay taxes or eminent domain… but I guess nomads never had a immovable property claim.

Not sure what you're talking about here

A clue is that history did not start in 1948.

Can you say what you mean please?

You felt compelled to parade your ignorance by inserting this cheap shot about "Palestinians" into an unrelated discussion. What I mean by ignorance is joining the uninformed masses bleating about "genocide" and "colonialists". Presumably imagining that Jewish people arrived in Palestine de novo at some point in the 19th or 20th century and conquered the native Arab "Palestinians" there.

That's what I mean.

You're still beating around the bush. Can you say what you mean?

mhb 3 days ago | parent [-]

Since you're intent on not understanding the clear wording of what I mean, why don't you explain what you mean by "Or Palestinian"?

Can't even have an article about earthquakes without signalling your political tribe.
