Reply to comment by Longwalk4AShortdrink in Amnesty urges ICC probe of possible Gaza war crimes by Xul-luX

Because the Native American population has been steadily growing since the settlers arrived there’s no way that any genocide can have happened, and anytime that treaties were violated and the settlers moved into native land it was perfectly legitimate

Same thing goes for the Irish too btw

I think the key distinction between your examples and mine is you're looking at population growth AFTER an established genocide. The above claim is stating that genocide is currently happening and has been happening for 60 years. There's the equivalency issue.

The evidence just does not support that claim at all
