This is what I mean: the scale and growth of the genocides in North America literally covered an entire content rather than a single country in Palestine but today is a paragraph about the trial of tears in American history books and a couple of signs commemorating particularly nasty episodes in the middle of nowhere and Americans are barely aware.
It's like the Japanese glossing over the atrocities they committed during WW2; barely acknowledged even then in the most sanitized, blameless, passive way possible.
Eh, a lot of people don't even see it as a genocide. I've argued with people (including a non white person) who tried to tell me it wasn't a genocide. It is amazing how history can be erased, even as it still unfolds
I mean we know about the native American genocide and those guys lost
And most people in western countries don't regard it as important
