    America is a settler colonialism project started by British imperialism.

    Equal rights and reparations for native Americans? Give me a break, how is that in any way acceptable after slaughtering them to take an entire continent?

    If that’s all that’s needed, then maybe Israel should just eject all Palestinians entirely into Egypt, Jordan, etc, then send them a gift basket for a housewarming in their new location. They wouldn’t even need to kill anywhere close to the 95% of native Americans that died during the takeover of North America.

      It’s not. It’s the bare minimum

      No, they could just have a One-State Solution with equal rights. Nothing justifies ethnic cleansing.

        Bare minimum, the American way.

        A one state solution is a pipe dream, even Ireland couldn’t figure that shit out and their differences are much smaller.

        History is littered with failed one state solutions, from the USSR to the Roman empire.

          You’re the one justifying the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, I’m the one advocating for equal rights. I don’t care about whatever mental gymnastics you use to justify it, ethnic cleansing is never acceptable nor justifiable. I’m interested and an advocate for actual solutions to the present day situation, you clearly aren’t.
