The official reason was the Bison herds were capable of destroying the fields of entire farms. We never stopped to ask if we should have been farming there in the first place.
I think they did stop to ask, and the answer they gave themselves was "yes".
It’s just greed. They throw in god’s name to relieve themselves of any personal responsibility.
They also throw in God's name to get the religious rubes on board.
Ok. Native here. Get out, both of you.
Go back to Ireland/Scotland? Sure. I need to bring news of what fun things Americans can do with potatoes back to the homeland anyways.
Reminds me of this.
It's kind of disingenuous.
It portrays Orthodox Jewishness as being responsible for genocidal Zionism when Orthodox Jewishness has pretty much always been vehemently critical of both Zionism and the creation of Israel.
The Jewish Zionists that perpetrated the Nakba looked no different than their fellow Europeans.
I think at this stage we can just call manifest destiny "Americanism."
I've met a guy who no shit said this to me as if it was a justification for Israel's actions in Gaza.
Anyone mentioning the phrase "3000" years ago is saying it. The Zionist movement is less than 150 years old. The rest of that history is made up.
The notion of a "promised land" is a lie humans tell to themselves to monopolise the resources we all share with all living things.
