So the UK is now officially pro-genocide?
Good to know.
:gestures broadly at history:
Bro. Great Britain is responsible for this whole mess: it’s called the Balfour Declaration.
Well, yes and no. It's true we started it. But then we had bigger fish to fry and handed it off to the UN. Who could have dissolved the whole thing and returned it to the previous state, but chose not to.
If I set fire to your house, and then I turn to you saying "ooh boy this is a hairy problem, you better take care of it", I am entirely responsible for your house being on fire.
For that to be a useful simile you'd need to use some kind of reversible fire.
What about the nakba massacres strikes you as reversible? Do you know what the word reversible means?
Ever heard of the East India Company?
It the Irish potato famine?
Haven't they always been pro genocide?
Ever heard of Churchill and what he (and other British people) did in India? He starved millions to death. Look up Bengali famine.
