You mean like how the US treated(and still do) the Native Americans?

Half the Maori population of New Zealand are in prison and in Australia it was only recently that the Aborigines were given full citizenship rights.
As for Canada their Indian tribes are worse off than those in the US. At least this side of the border many reservations now have casinos and the Indian is getting his revenge on the white man at the slot machines and roulette tables

You are confused the Native Americans get literally billions from the federal government I don't believe the federal government gave the Jews in Europe billions of dollars as I went into the concentration camps you're making crap up

Presumably you mean the Native American descendants of those who managed to survive the settlers' attempts to wipe them out via murder and disease and killing off their food supply.

I think the weapons budget alone that the US gives Israel is in the billions, not forgetting all the other investments. Anyway start a new thread if you wants to go down the road of the poor Jews are more oppressed than the indigenous population.

Not just the settlers. Deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide (at times) by both the U.S. government and various state governments. I don't say this to be provocative or to offend anybody, it is a simple matter of historical fact.

Bad word choice on my part -- I meant every incomer, acting as an individual or under the umbrella of government.

Atrocities occurred on both sides and the settlers didn't treat the Indians any different than the Indians treated each other. A good start is reading the early history of New York, more particularly the Iroquois nation who conquered every tribe from the Great Lakes to the Ohio west to the Mississippi (hint, they were cannibalistic, yummy).

Cameron had to call the vote he was getting pressure from UKIP and other Tory party members; besides the business community may have wanted out as Britain can pursue its own trade agreements now without the EU.
As far as I can tell the EU has only benefited Germany, no one else.

In my post I specifically referred to considered and deliberate actions of the U.S. and state governments, though. Creek War, trail of tears, progressively reneging on treaties, etc.

Trying to compare how the US treated Native Americans with how the Germans treated the Jews is dishonest

If you think the Native Americans weren't treated abominably, you must live in an alternate universe. And everyone who has ever read a post by me is having a good laugh at you equating me with a Trump supporter.

Perhaps if you could respond in complete sentences once in a while, what you are trying to say might be clearer. Anything that has been said about the plight of the Native American in this thread is historical fact, not made up.
