The Jewish history definately complicates the conflict.
We don't have the same discussions about Shai/Sunni conflict in Yemen, or Russia/Ukrainian conflict in Ukraine, or all the ethnic groups in Myanmar, or the Ethiopian-Tigray conflict, or non-arabs in Dafur/Sudan, or the host ongoing Al-Qaeda/ISIS conflicts.
Yeah, Russia/Ukraine tends to be painted with an ideological brush, and all the rest are just ignored.
Stop and correlate skin colours for a moment, if you would.
Where the Holocaust comes in, is that Israel still has American support, while they bailed on South Africa in the 80's, because they can pretend the favouritism is about something else.
For anyone outside the West reading, most Western people don't know they're doing this, we just imagine we live in a magical bubble where nothing bad happens, and only react when something looks like it's breaking it. I'll leave it to you if that's a good excuse.
Good thing we haven't and don't do anything like that in Canada. Like coerced sterilization of indeginous women until 2018.
I've lived in Israel and Lebanon, though young at the time. The conflict isn't an easy one with an "X group is correct/more correct" solution. Both groups have very legitimate grievances, have been genocided, and have done shit things to each other
100% agree.
Come to think of it, Native people fall outside the bubble for the most part themselves. Some of those reservations might as well be in a cold version of Africa, and I've only seen them on TV.
What does "a cold version of Africa" mean? Are you talking about distance, or some other factor?
Bad conditions. No drinking water, unsuitable structures, things like that. And all fairly invisible to white people, because they might be remote, or just not a place we ever need to go.
