    It would be impractical to undo every theft that has ever occurred, and yet we still condemn theft, work to prevent it, punish thieves for it, and try to undo what thefts we can.

      So you are disagreeing with me how? You want to punish Israel for what they did thousands of years ago to the Canaanites?

        I’m not talking about thousands of years ago, but I guess you’re responding to a comment about thousands of years ago. Maybe we don’t disagree, but it’s all too common for modern-day colonizers to try and dismiss their very recent actions as if it were ancient history.
