Maybe because it happened 1000 years ago and there are people being killed in Gaza at this very moment?

People being killed in Gaza are the colonizers isn't it? In addition to being colonizers they clearly declared the goal of performing ethnic cleansing of Jews, and proved that it isn't just words by perpetrating genocide of Jews on October 7.

You nicely sidestepped the case of US where Native people are still fighting for their rights and would be killed the same way if they try to perpetrate against Non-Native Americans the things like October 7.

Palestinians perpetrated October 7, Native Americans don't do such things, thus no surprise that the situation is different.

>Maybe because it happened 1000 years ago

So, how old or recent it should be for you to dismiss or not an ethnic cleansing?

Your whole argumentation is flawed with gross intellectual dishonesty. I'm talking Gaza genocide that is happening here and now - but your argumentation is like 'But what about Hannibal's atrocities in 216 B.C.?'. I don't deny other peoples were colonized and decimated in the process (like Native Americans obviously) -- their fate and suffering IS important, however it does not have any bearing on what is happening now in Gaza Strip.
