    “buying land doesn’t really mean much.” Tell that to the Palestinians who got upset when Jews moved into the land they sold to them. One thing it definitely means is the new owners might move in.

    American settlers did obtain their land legally too. What’s your point? That to begin with, without us legally obtaining that land you wouldn’t have electricity. You wouldn’t have airplanes. You wouldn’t have a cell phone.

      Damn, I didn’t know that millions of dead native Americans were required for electricity to be invented. Who knew that without that genocide no human being would of ever come up with the cell phone. It’s like you believe that if we didn’t murder millions of natives that all human progress would of stopped
