@EzkealSutekh hmm, its an interesting point. The context is slightly different and when it comes to law and diplomacy it can get very technical and pedantic.
that’s their literal rationale
We only genocided a small percentage of the natives. 90% or more died from disease long before they met an European settler.
but not all jews are zionists, to be fair
Not that it makes it better, but the actual process is what differs. So combined with the implementation, geopolitical climate at the time, and the aftermath of the war, a Jewish state was created and a native one was not in the US
Blankets full of smallpox were handed out to some native tribes. (Siege of for pitt) 1763 They were killed by disease yes, but it was done deliberately.
died in typhus even without camping 🙂
I'm sorry, but that's not true. @EzkealSutekh
Germ theory hadn't even been discovered/invented
Additionally, the 90% figure I refer to is in the first few decades after contact.
There were massive and thriving societies all over the American south and northeast that we're ravaged by disease long before Europeans showed up there.
didn’t the Mongolians catapult bubonic-plague infested corpses into walled European cities?
It is true, it was not invented yet, however they were not stupid, one can see if someone gets a disease from an object that it is the cause, i have sources, here: https://books.google.ca/books?id=UeaN0-Ra64oC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false https://www.jstor.org/stable/27774278 herokee Medicine, Colonial Germs: An Indigenous Nation's Fight Against Smallpox, 1518–1824; Paul Kelton; University of Oklahoma Press; 2015; Pgs. 102–105
As in before they had interaction
germ theory mightve not been formulated in the modern scientific sense, but they probably had a notion about disease contagion
There were trade networks between the Aztecs and the Ameri-indians in North America
And that's how it spread all over the continent
Well then we have to agree to disagree
in reality, The North American indians were essentially holocausted for real
^
Not in the same manner.
It was a Genocide for sure.
But what made the Holocaust shocking was the methodology.
wiped out the main source of food for the plains indians
Industrialized murder on a continental scale.
Germany literally went full retard and devoted essential resources and supply chain to their death factories.
the Americans and British firebombed entire Japanese and German cities off the map
100s of thousands of innocents burned alive
*"what was shocking was how inefficient and retarded germany was about murdering millions of people."*
- somebody probably, i dunno
It was an assembly line of death. Loaded into cattle trains. Marched into the chamber, then buried in a mass grave or cremated
There is absolutely no proof of industrialized murder hollywood style
So of course it shocked the world.
There is proof of industrialized murder
Dont even try to deny it
how about Nuking two entire major japanese cities off the map
Additionally, there was a bit of racism involved. "How could a proper white, civilized, Christian, nation do such a thing?!"
where's teh proof?
Hence why no one made a big stink about the Russian gulags or the Japanese atrocities
Americans were just as racist
and work-camps owned by americans
