nah the English and Scottish settlers who wiped out the first indigenous communities they found across the Atlantic had the same victim mentality about it all too. they even had the same everyone-hates-our-persecuted-minority-we-need-safe-spaces shit while engaging in a savage campaign of mass-murder against the indigenous peoples, but instead of fundamentalist Judaism it was fundamentalist Christianity

As has been pointed out, this is grossly inaccurate. Fascism, in particular settler colonialism, always requires the perpetrators to see themselves as the aggrieved minority fighting against the 'hordes' of barbarians. Literally the Romans did the exact same thing, even as their slave markets glutted and arenas ran red with blood.

Consistent with the combination of pride and dread that characterized the imaginings of German nationalists, [Carl] Peters maintained that the failure to pursue imperialism would be disastrous, for it would result in the extinction of the Germans as a people.⁵²

The Nazi anthem Horst Wessel Lied was named after Horst Wessel, a fash who got killed in a dispute with his landlord. Nazi propaganda pushed the idea that he was a martyr murdered by communists.

Which one? The one that has been going on for decades in Palestine or the one that has been going on for centuries in the global south?

Every genocide ever is declared to be self-defense

Is it really? because I've felt this is a pattern but I didn't know it's true 100% of the time.
