(1,070 posts)The point of the other poster is that even though the Sioux once lived on large parts of our nation they now have basically nothing. No one is going to give them their home back, we do not respect their right to it.
Yet, somehow we do respect the Jewish right to claim Jerusalem after having lost it centuries ago. That is obvious hypocrisy.
The fact of the matter is that Americans like Judaism better than Islam, and that is why Israel has been able to enlist our aid so much when it comes to killing Muslims. America provided most of the the funding and the tech that has enabled Israel to fight literally all of its neighbors at the same time, and so it should not be surprising to anyone that many Muslims hate America too.
We enabled the theft of their land. Either that's all there is to it, or people really do have an indefinite right to their ancestral homes. In that case we need to give North America back to the natives, because this is their ancestral home and not ours.
Get it? You cannot avoid being a hypocrite here. By your standards that justify Israel we should not own America. So, either Israel gets to exist justly and the USA does not, or Israel was unjust. Logically, those are your two choices, but of course none of the people who support Israel in this thread have addressed this line of thought even though it has been brought up repeatedly.
Your post here btw makes no sense. The Sioux don't occupy the land they once did, so why would someone call them squatters? ONCE AGAIN, the USA exists on the land that was theirs for thousands of years, so WE are the squatters ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN LOGIC!
Are you really that dense, or does an emotional bias in favor of Israel blind you to the truth?
