You would claim that, in a sentence that ends with ‘killing all the Indians’? Oh really. So we cant use words retrospectively to explain the past can we not? Of course we do all the time.
Anyway, Im not with you, but what else was going on that was a lot more than killing all the indians? Im quite intrigued.

That’s a good start. 
Maybe the next steps would be recognizing Golan Heights as occupied territory and shared rights of Jerusalem.

Ok, I think you meant a course of conduct that amounts to genocide because we had no law against it then? Yes, thats correct, but still the American indian race and their culture have effectively been wiped out. And I know they were not all clean feathers and headresses themselves, but they still had a right to life.
So they got caught up in playing politics with the settlers; a consortium of settlers, Spanish, French English and Dutch that knew exactly what the endgame was. They had all done it the world over times before. Perhaps this was the worlds first Genocide Corporation.
Other cultures that have been entirely wiped out are the Cathars and Gnostics in Europe, both well before the Rome Statute which now prohibits genocide, but sure as anything, the total destruction of a people. The Kurds and Uighurs and Rohinga are modern examples. I dont care how they get there if it results in the death of an entire culture of people its genocide to me. Sure it was normalised in medieval and pre-enlightenment years.

Israel invited applications for another development of homes on occupied territory today; not quite hiding good news.

I think Israel/Netanyahu stepped-up settlement building/demolition of Palestinian homes immediately after US Election.

Probably not, but then they werent invited ‘to settle’ in the ‘New World’ either (New World - cheeky bastards!). It could well be a combination of how wild some of the American Indian tribes were, intolerant to the invaders and the taking of their wares etc, whereas the Chinese, Indonesians, and Indians were more prepared to be fleeced. I realise some of the tribes were barbaric to each other. Had not heard of King Phillips war or manifest destiny before you mentioned then so thanks! I think the sum total of the invading of the Americas has been genocide though.

Just getting back on topic but am I the only one who sees today as the cameo for introducing Kamala Harris as the next President of the USA?

What gets me is these changing of the guard events happen the world over and people get led into optimism, but nothing ever changes except the face of the person explaining the shit you are still in.

Drove through the reservations off the west coast many years ago. “Here you go, here’s the shittiest most barren land in the country” A national disgrace.

Before Joseph R. Biden Jr. took the oath of office in Washington, a lone pro-Trump protester stood in front of the statehouse in Concord, N.H., holding a Trump-Pence campaign sign with “Pence” scratched out in black marker.
The man, who declined to give his name because he feared retribution and “a subversive Communist police state,” said he had crossed off the former vice president’s name because he had presided over the joint session of Congress that certified Mr. Biden’s election.
He added that he had taken the day off to be there and was surprised that not a single other demonstrator had shown up. He left the plaza before Mr. Biden was sworn-in at noon.
HUH?? Where is everybody??!!
You dumb fucks.
