I applaud your good-fauth engagement with GP. Honestly I thought that calling conflict in the middle east "black and white" had to be either subtle humour or outright trolling.

Every single piece of land on Earth has been attacked and colonized at least once. Why have some peoples managed to do well and others so bad? I think there's something more to learn.

what are you suggesting

Bring back colonization for limited amount of time ie 50years. During that time establish government, educational, civil structures and start the economy. Re-educate the society, instill the values of high-trust society. Pull out of the country gradually replacing foreigners with local population. The name 'colonization' might evoke some sentiments, but we can call this some other name.

What's the strategy for when the locals violently resist colonization, with the aid of various countries which are hostile to the colonizing power?

Gaza is not just about the suffering but also the fact that the suffering is directly caused by a rich Western nation enabled by all other rich Western nations. As far as I can tell the US is not supplying the army of Sudan with billions of cash, munition, weapons and unconditionally political backing.

I seriously doubt the indirect support for the war in Yemen or in Sudan through proxies even comes close to the direct support for Israel.

Also please dont dismiss opposing views as irrelevant copy pastas. Im not blind to your argument either. If you have sources that say the level of support is similar after all ill consider them.

> Truth is Sudan has been at war since it was decolonized in the 1950s There have been internal conflicts, but nothing at the scale of the 2023 Civil War. > I suspect all the aid and help over the decades has really just prolonged things It's being fueled by the proxy war between Iran, UAE, KSA, Egypt, and Ethiopia.

These facts are interesting given the current trend of decrying colonization.

Very sincerely: You are no better.

Consider reading what you just wrote, perhaps looking in the mirror, and reevaluating your thought process. Even for Hacker News I expect better than this.

If you see colonialism as a foreign group establishing control over a people and region over a long time, then:

* The Roman Empire colonized Europe for hundreds of years

* Napoleon colonized most of continental Europe (this one might be debatable)

* The British colonized Ireland and Scotland

* The Ottomans colonized the Balkans

* Muslim Caliphates colonized Spain/Al-Andalus

* The Vikings colonized areas around the north sea.

And probably a lot of smaller scales things I am missing.

The formula is displaying an emotional trauma inducing anecdote on mass media coupled with a narrative suggesting action that must be taken to prevent future trauma to the viewer, and then inflicting that trauma and followup narrative repeatedly that as many times as possible through all available media channels. There are hundred of thousands of things that occur on a daily basis all over the world that would induce…

Which is why TikTok must die - then social media in general.

It is all very toxic and manipulative

Are you implying that Europe hasn’t had hundreds of wars where empires conquered areas in Europe? Genuinely asking for clarification.
