that the colonialism should have damn well ended when FDR said it was done with in WW2. The fact that the US went in after him and supported the establishment of Israel and proceeded to support its colonialist expansion is an indelible stain on the US historical record rivaling the slaughter of the Native Americans. I don't have the grounds to speak for the establishment or expansion of those other countries as they weren't carried out by the United States, but as a citizen of the United States I feel I am more justified than a bystander country citizen in speaking out against the crimes that have been committed by this country.

But that is not a reality that can be undone. Israel was established and exists now. There are native born Israelis and given that fact the preferable solution is to maintain the status quo. This is not the view of the Israeli government however, evidenced by their continued expansion into Palestinian territory.
