As a colonizer and oppressor, you give the oppressed some land next door to you and start raising some lambs in your backyard.
Your next door neighbour, the colonized and oppressed, doesn't like this and decides to start feeding and housing wolves.
Every few weeks the wolves slaughter a bunch of your lambs. You ask your neighbour to please stop harbouring the wolves that are killing your lambs, their response is "no, that paddock you built is occupying land i want, you should move out"
This goes on for years and many lambs and wolves are killed.
You decide you've had enough and inform your neighbour that as they're not willing to control the wolves they are harbouring, you're going to start culling them and they should steer clear if they didn't want to get hurt in the crossfire.
Your neighbour ignores you and instead decides to set up a tent and sleep with the wolves.
One evening many wolves are erradicated but your neighbour in their tent gets hurt and his wife dies. It's very sad.
You once again approach them about the wolves, they yet again refuse to do anything, stating they are not responsible for the wolves actions and you are occupying land they want.
The difference between you and your neighbour is that they condone wolves slaughtering your lambs, even in the aftermath of losing a wife, in the interests of gaining territory, aka terrorism... whereas you condone slaughtering wolves, even in the aftermath of killing the wife, in the interests of preserving your lambs.
Neither side is completely innocent, lives are being lost by both.. one values life over land whereas the other values land over life.
Which side you align with matches your values.
