Many haven’t fully come to terms with it.
No... they haven't. Colonialism is not the past... it's the present. And the Netherlands still benefit from it to this very day.

You can’t easily point on who‘s the good and who’s the bad.
Hint: It's always the side perpetrating genocidal settler-colonialism that's the bad-der one (by far), okay?
they only ever say positive things about Donald Trump
Sooo... it's just another right-wing astroturfing project.
If the Palestinians had received a quarter of what Ukraine has received in the last three years Israel would be no more. I certainly don't have a problem with that.

Was this lecture aimed at me or someone else?
Regulated capitalism. Prosecuting corruption.
Right, regulate capitalism... by regulating the capitalists that have all the money and can buy the regulators any time they feel like it.
Sounds legit.
but we do owe them an apology once all the information is out.
No - we don't owe a serial killer an apology if turns out they murdered ninety-nine people instead of a hundred.
the polite thing to do is apologize for thinking badly of them
No, there is nothing "polite" about "apologizing" to a genocidal settler-colonialist state.
They don't bat an eyelid when you accuse Israel of being an Apartheid-state - it's like water flowing off a duck's back. Call Israel a kapo state, however, and they lose their shit. That they can't ignore.
basically the UN is a forum for dialogue and we need the big players to be part of it.
Allowing the five biggest arms manufacturers on the planet to decide "security" issues is no different than allowing the five biggest drug cartels in the world to decide "health" issues.
What about confronting it's colonial present? Last time I checked, the colonialist world order that underpins the wealth of the Global North hasn't ended.
