I think it helps detatch ourselves from the violence of the natives as the only depictions we have are from the people that genocided them, and only in paintings and accounts from the genociders.
With modern war we have daily footage of the kills, its more easy to connect to reality; the telling thing for me is that hamas are 'savages' for defending there own land while black sites like 'grab an arab' prison where we tortured thousands of people for no good reason is overlooked.
And some people live their life
In violence that’s pure and clean
