I think your analogy that my tribe pushed some other away is a generalisation. My nation was suppressed for a large part of its history and it was a struggle to maintain the identity over centuries when more dominant nations tried to dominate us and even erase our language. Chilren in schools were beaten when not talking the language that was foreign for them. We never invaded anyone. We resisted and persevered, the latest it was the soviet occupation. Also you pretty much swiped under the carpet that Israel has been illegally expanding, destroying Palestinian's homes, olive fields they lived off for generations, fuelling the conflict, pushing them more and more to the brink. It is internationally recognised as illegal, but because the West needs Israel as an ally, we walk around it on the tiptoes and have toothless rhetorics at most. And you, an American taxpayer, are financing this injustice. Without the generous US financial support Israel wouldn't be what it is today. Bold, far right, illegally expanding, knowing it is going to get away with it.
