I had a interesting weekend, I overheard a debate that I refused to get involved with, but I’d like to hear everyone’s opinion…..
This is how it went, and I’m not sure how it started.
It was over what’s so different and what makes one country occupation worse than others, and these are the examples given.
US Colonists v American Indians
British Control v US Colonist
British Control Over Ireland (now Northern Ireland)
The State of Israel over Palestine
Israel v Egypt and Syria (back when they occupied that land that is now Israel)
British Occupation over Taiwan
British Occupation over South Africa
Iraq’s occupation into Kuwait
I think that was about it, I will update if I can remember more. Anyway the argument got pretty heated, from religious freedom to shear control and power….. Then again the question, why is one worse than the other, and who really has claim to that land ?
