    Settler Colonialism means murdering the civilians and then stealing their land and house. Not trying to force your own culture upon civilians.

    Examples are America, Australia, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Israel, etc.

      Yes, exactly like what Russia is doing to Ukraine, too.

        Russia is trying to annex Ukraine. We’re not talking about off-cases but national policy.

        Or do you believe that Russia wants to expell all Ukrainians from Ukraine?

          If Russia is trying to annex Ukraine, then Israel is trying to annex Palestine.

          If Israel is trying to colonize Palestine, then Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine.

          Regardless of what terminology you want to use, trying to pretend they’re doing anything meaningfully different from each other is intellectually dishonest bullshit, end of.

                  Israel wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Palestinians in Gaza. Russia wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

                    Russia wants it so that there are no more "people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

                    Haha what a play on words to make the silly argument look comparable.

                    Glad you know you are wrong yourself :)
