Africa, the Americas, Asia and South Asia all underwent the same savage conduct of European colonialism. Then, after world war 2, the Europeans awoke and claimed to have realised the barbarity of their conduct. What surprises me is the so called horror of countries like the UK regarding the concentration camps and torture of Jews but nothing was said about the Brits' massacre of the Afrikaner in South Africa, the Irish, the Indian, the Jamaicans, the native Americans, the indigenous Australians and the Chinese to enforce their drug trade amongst others. The Middle East problem was caused by the British with their Balfour Declaration giving land which they did not own to Jewish settlers. Right now the Middle East is a burning pot. The average Palestinian must feel the same hopelessness that all victims of colonialism and genocide felt in the past. And like the past victims of colonialism and genocide, the Palestinians are fighting against oppressors with advanced weapons.
