Having no sense of political correctness I went on by likening the slaughter of the Indians in early America to the genocide against Palestinians being waged today by Israel.
“Who cares what happened to the Indians!” screamed my Christian fundamentalist friend, conflating the two genocides in her belief that Biblical prophesy is being fulfilled in the middle-east.
