This reads like a bad parody of the Soviet "west = bad" trope. Big wide brush strokes, painting ALL Europeans as somehow enabling this when it was only a few players and likely no real European peoples made decisions beyond a few powerful people. Buffoonish thinking.

		Oh I am European, and I (or my country) certainly had zero involvement in the events that are playing out now. But they are not critical of them, not aloud at least. As much as I love Europe, we are complicit to this genocide, and we are hypocrites. We laud European values, but only their theory.

Hew brew, as you spell it, is a resurrected language. It was extinct. It was resurrected solely as a tool for jewish nationalism.

		And from which mother nation state was Israel a colony of?

Ashkenazi, and only because they made a dedicated effort to switch from their native Yiddish to build the colonization narrative.

After a few hundred years historical injustices move down the priority list. France isn't seeking reparations from Italy for the conquest of Gaul, for example.

		> After a few hundred years historical injustices move down the priority list I'm actually curious for you to expand on this. It's broadly, I think, my view. And it's been a reason I've come to disregard pretty much all historical claims to land in the Middle East, focussing on the quality of life of the people alive today where they are over where they or their ancestors were at some arbitrary point in the past. But that largely erupts from me drawing my line between the living and the dead. (International lawyers would draw it at the end of WWII.) How do you draw yours?
