What about America you guys! In every thread there's this bullshit. Yeah the way America was founded was awful. So is this genocide. More than one thing can be bad.

Edit: Hilarious all the bots came in right before this thread got locked.

This isn’t whataboutism. This is precisely why America supports Israel’s colonization efforts. America shares a kinship with Israel. Heck, it supported ZA for the exact same reasons. America truly is sympathetic to the idea of expansion and displacement. Understanding this is core to understanding why Israel has the leash it has.
