I'm defending Palestinians who have in no way elected Hamas, and who are killed by an elected government because some random terrorist organization happens to be residing in the same literal prison they are trapped in by the same named elected government.

Sure, but that only works up to a certain point. When they are ignored, voters will get even more annoyed and he might grow towards next election and become impossible to ignore. The same is happening with Vlaams Belang in Vlaanderen.
I think it's mostly the uther lack of consideration for the locals at the time. Europeans went there with the explicit aim to "conquer" and loot a continent that was inhabited by dozens if not hundreds of societies. They went there, killed, raped and enslaved hundreds of thousands of people. Can't imagine to hear anyone defend that kind of behavior.
Hamas is not really a government at all though. They barely have any support in Gaza. Many years ago some election was held but there was only Hamas to choose from basically. I wouldn't call Hamas in any way representing anyone else but themselves, and not the Palestinian people. Maybe more rather their Arab sponsors.
Tbh seriously, I think reading "PHP & MySQL in de praktijk" (PHP & MySQL in practice) must have had the most impact on my life. It definitely kickstarted my interest in programming.
Other than technical books, I thought "Testament Of Youth", about the 1st world was, was pretty profound.
Yeah, like @aakselrod@infosec.exchange also pointed out, I think the next big question is Covenants, which will enable lots of things, among which for example Ark.
Then, non-consensus related, package relay will be a big change that helps off-chain protocols a lot.
I'm trying to get your point. But a jew indicates a person of Jewish religion. In most dictionaries "Chinese" will mean "someone or something from China". I don't know what the word meant before the nation China arose or if there are ethnic meanings to it, but words mean what people understand them to mean, that's language, so Chinese kinda means "from China" today. That's why America now kinda means the country and democracy means republic or other form of majority-rule representative democracy 𤷠(the two lost words I miss the most)
It's dangerous to confuse a national identity with an ethnic one. But I grant you, it's nations who are at fault with claiming the terms and other ones by acknowledging them.
But aside from that (and I just wonder), is there such a thing as a Chinese ethnicity? I always imagined China was pretty diverse, ethnic-wise. With the northern mountain people, the coastal people the western people (I don't know names or terms) being quite different from one another.. Is that not true?
