Your whole argumentation is flawed with gross intellectual dishonesty. I'm talking Gaza genocide that is happening here and now - but your argumentation is like 'But what about Hannibal's atrocities in 216 B.C.?'. I don't deny other peoples were colonized and decimated in the process (like Native Americans obviously) -- their fate and suffering IS important, however it does not have any bearing on what is happening now in Gaza Strip.
