Some money was spent on her houses of suffering, but much was spent on trying to convert Indians to Christianity.
That Israel attacked first and is the aggressor of the Six Day War.
Israel was given an ample casus beli by any international standard before the war started. Egypt has unilaterally and illegally killed its trade access to half the world. Also it should be hard to fault a preemptive strike when your self-described enemies literally amass their armies on your borders (from three different sides) and openly blare on the radio about their intent to commit genocide on you next week, once their preparations are finished. How can someone conclude from that that Israel's strike was an "aggression" or "expansionist" is beyond me.
Given these reasons would it be reasonable to call Israel "the aggressor" or "an expansionist regime" with the implication that Israel attacked its neighbors without provocation with territorial expansion in mind, thereby falsely invoking the Nazi comparisons they like to use so much?Well technically people are correct that it attacked first, insofar as it struck the first significant blow.
Its just that nobody cares because of some of the above mentioned reasons.
"The world was peaceful, then everything changed when the white man attacked"
I'm quoting a video I once watched don't remember if it was parody or serious but the over simplification to outright manipulation of the perspective of thousands of years of history is just flat out propaganda.
History is complicated, no its not pretentious to say that, people are multifaceted, we did bad things in the past, we are trying to fix past mistake, we are not to be chained to the sins of our ancestors we should instead of pointing fingers at people long dead go and work for a better future.
American Concentration Camps
Nope as scummy as they were, internment camps were much better living conditions compared to what the Axis did to our POWs or even the Holocaust.
Grandad simply avoided being arrested by hiding in the forest until the war was over.
In the United States, or in another place with camps?
Hawaii was the one place they werent all interred though.He hid in the forests of Hawaii so technically the US at the time. I don't have the full story as he is unable to tell me but for the longest time I was least to believe he was in an interment camp.
I never understood why Americans would appropriate a label (Nazi) owned by German National Socialists. I get why the Left calls people they don't like Nazis, but why would you associate with Hitlerism if you're an American nationalist? Doesn't make sense.Robert E. Lee is complicated but not irredeemably evil as he prevented the worst of insurgencies from rising in the South and aided in the Reconstruction of America. Most other Confederates were similarly complicated. The flag most frequently used today is their Navy Ensign and most likely they would be pissed with white supremacists and neo-nazis appropriating their image, especially with being associated with the latter.
Truth. Crusades were mostly a reaction or counter reaction to Muslims raiding European borders.

It was portrayed as a win because it was kept secret initially and once this fact became known the media didn't care anymore. Even today most people only know about Soviets pulling their missiles from Cuba and nothing about USA pulling their missiles out of Turkey.
They were late neolithic. Europeans, africans and asians all did the same things, and the moved on to more effecient technologies as they discovered metalworking and were able to create better tools. The only myth here is that stone aged societies were completely bereft of technology and achievements.The idea that indigenous American cultures, which had mastered some of the most profound bioengineering in history to create their agricultural schema and engaged in vast geoengineering to the point that we now have evidence the Amazon Basin was essentially turned into a food garden for them, were somehow stone-age societies which needed to be uplifted by Europeans.

I would say you are correct.That evaluation, respectfully, Sir, completely neglects their demonstrated success at profound agronomy, control of their local biome, and artificial selection rivalling modern genetic engineering, if over greater time scales. It is a conceit to classify societies only based on the material used for tools. In quality of life the Mesoamericans greatly exceeded the bronze age civilisations of Eurasia.
I would say you are correct.
I remember reading somewhere that the Europeans brought over a huge amount of animal borne diseases to the continent of North America, such that by the time the Americans began conquering America, most of who was left was the survivor of epidemics of apocalyptic proportions. I had no doubt that Native Americans were more primitive than Europeans, but we hardly saw them at their prime. We saw what their post-apocalypse societies looked like.
Like I said, they were in the post-apocalyptic stage of heir civilization.In Mesoamerica, 90pct of the population died. The ruination was total.
