"The Jewish state of Israel"
Echoes of "Northern Ireland, a Protestant state for a Protestant people"
We had civil rights marches in NI in the 1960s as one group of people, a Protestant people (descendants of the Ulster plantation, English and Scots who came over in the 1600s and took lands from the Native Irish people here) were favoured over Catholics in all walks of life, with history nigh on repeating itself in Palestine/Israel where one group of people, a Jewish people, started to come over in the early 1900s via the Balfour declaration in the British House of Commons and, via state policies, have seen them favoured over another group of people, the Native Palestinian people.
When you make one group less than, that leads to what happened to the Native Americans ("triumph of the whites over the savages" as those two statues that stood outside the US Capitol building for over a century proudly proclaimed before their removal in the 1950s), the Aboriginal Australians (whose children were taken from their parents so they could mix in with the whites and gradually be eradicated), the Jews in Nazi Germany (described as "untermensch", translated as underman or subhuman, before six million were eradicated), and so on.
All violence against innocent people is abhorrent, as this attack was today, as was the circa 70 thousand killed in Gaza, as was those killed in the 7 October music festival, as was the Sabra and Shatila massacre in '82, and further back we go there. I lived through similar here (albeit in a much smaller scale), with two sides fighting each other.
It's a neverending series of needless bloodshed, all over the world, and often because each side in whatever particular conflict thinks they are in the right.
