    It’s greed and propaganda.

    Just the same way there are (only some??) people now saying ‘genocide and inflicting deliberate suffering & destruction/eradication is bad’ in relation to Palestine, there were non-racists & non-robbing people at the time of the other pictured “conflicts”.
    Not even that few of them (bcs humans tend to know what caused suffering & what suffering is), but overshadowed by the spoils & triumphs of “war”.

    But the formula remains the same, designate a group of people as less than human/incompetent savages (or whether the Zionist correct term for Palestinians is now), repeatedly tell people that have nothing to do with them how bad (they need them to think) they are, which pacifies the majority into silent compliancy & complicity.
    Step 2: bloody profit.

    Only once everything is raped & pillaged the propaganda loses it’s fuel & the remaining human voices remain, the voices that have been saying the same thing from the start.

    Tl;dr: generic genocide in progress “good”, historically looking at genocide (by the same fucking people that genocided in the first place) “bad”.
