Same old story; whoever has the most military power and is "winning" can say what they want and no one can prove them wrong. The US news media cooperates with the Israeli military to justify the massacre in Gaza and Lebanon. As a white american child I was long taught that the Native Americans, on the defense in "The Indian Wars" were blood thirsty cruel savages killing the innocent white settlers. It was many years before I learned that the white people, my white forefathers, had stolen the land from the people who lived there. That the Native Americans were protecting their homeland. We continue, through our government's bloody support, to support colonial powers, especially if they are slaughtering brown and black people. This is likely not being taught in our schools.
