      There are many valid reasons to have moved to the US decades ago, either running away from poverty like people from Latin America, or simply finding better job opportunities. Unequal exchange in capitalism can lead many people to work for the imperialist powers because their home country is worse economically, often due to them being taken advantage of.

          the isreali settlers are doing the same thing to gaza that the settlers of the united states, canada, australia and new zealand did to the native americans; first nations; aboriginals; and maori (respectively) and the down votes on the most liberal of social media platforms are indicative of how all settlers feel about their circumstances today.

          i also i suspect that the future isrealis will see themselves the same way that americans, canadaians, austrialians or new zealanders see themselves now; as societal beacons on progressiveness and fairness.

      Wrong. Come to Canada! We’d love to have anyone join if they can get in. Heck, work here under a work permit and go home now or when you’re old or when you get tired of snow or high rent or both (Toronto).

      We’re gonna need all the smart people we can when America invades.
