    I mean, I also think American Indians have a right to live and self govern in the Americas, and likewise have a right to defend themselves in that context. They just also don’t have the right to bomb and push out all the white people who were born here too. We actually do have somewhat of a two state solution with some tribes in the US, it’s just very inequal and there’s massive systemic problems obviously. I’m not sure this meme is quite making the point you think it is?

        No argument there. It’s just unclear what point the meme is making. I agree with the message they’re clearly TRYING to say.

          The meme is saying that Israelis rights to the land dont override the rights of other peoples, like the Palestinians. Its pointing out that many who think Israel are doing nonwrong would not be infavour of native Americans bombing their cities, or even giving up their land.

      Ok, now do the right of the US to claim and govern the territories that were taken from them by gunpoint.

        Big stick and live here, same way it works basically everywhere. But like I was born here too, both of my parents were born here, two of my grandparents were born here. Why would I NOT have the right to be part of the democratic government of the land of my birth?
