> Only relevant because the conflict is often portrayed in terms of European Colonialism or US race dynamics.

What do you want to tell with this? That there are no race dynamics because some people have a lighter skin color?

No "Judeo-Christian civilization", no "Villa in the Jungle", no "Light unto the nations", nope...

> about an incident involving New Zealanders and Maoris

Really?

Aotearoan here. Our racist history is shameful. Many massacres, both sides but mostly one way traffic.

Our history of "othering" indigenous people here in law was shameful too.

But seriously, and with all due respect, fuck you!!

We are facing up to our racist past, present and (Dog help us) future.

Tikanga Māori is joining our legal system.

Being openly racist to Māori is politically suicidal (some right wing politicians are giving it a go, and getting burnt for it)

Māori institutions are integrating themselves into all levels of our culture and society

And on and on. New Zealand is a Māori country, I am Pākehā, I have no problem with that, I belong here too. We (white people) are learning to share, learning there are more ways than our ways. Israel could learn from us, but...

The Isralies are utterly different. The violent homicidal, nay genocidal, racism of Israel is institutional.

Fuck you. For all we have our problems with racism, we are not genocidal racist violent thugs, as are the IDF representing the Israli state
