Ha, "civilization". So that's what they're calling genocide today. Netanyahu needs to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

Isn't that the standard line when it comes to people settling land with pre-existing tenants?

Idque apud imperitos humanitas vocabatur, cum pars servitutis esset.

Gaius Cornelius Tacitus; c. 56 AD

10/10 reference, nicely done. Israel also turned Gaza into a desert and called it "peace". it's uncanny how little things have changed since Tacitus!

This is the same rhetoric that was used in Canada's genocide of indigenous peoples.

Part of reconciliation is denouncing what happened in Canada, which is still being felt today, and working towards reparations that are led by Indigenous peoples. We must learn from what happened and do better. But it is all in vain if we support the same atrocities being committed in other parts of the world.

To be fair, genocide has historically been a big part of many civilisations.

Sid Meier taught me that.
