    If both are bad, why is the US not being required to make up for their genocide?

    Calling for one to be disallowed, while continuing to allow the results from the other is hypocrisy. It’s not like the US couldn’t give back the land if the same level of will we see towards Gaza existed for native Americans. That’s never going to happen though, Americans are completely comfortable with the results of their genocide at this point.

      There’s a huge movement to do so that. Look into land back rights and all that. But the Israel Palestine thing is more urgent because it’s better to stop a genocide from happening in progress right now, then to make up for one that has already happened. The only people comfortable with America’s genocide are the same right wing and centrist people supporting Israel right now.

        No there isn’t. There’s a TINY movement to do that, and it’s never going to happen.

        They’re comfortable saying we should do something, until it would cost them something personally.

        You’ll find almost every American becomes very comfortable with the genocide very quickly when you start talking about taking away their home to give the land back.
