Every time I've heard South Africa mentioned in the States, it's been in regards to it being an example of "white genocide", or as an example of how a "great country" was ruined when Black people took over. So yeah, truly not a single thing was learned.
A Canadian member of parliament called Nelson Mandela a terrorist on the floor of parliament.
They regret what happened in South Africa and use it as a learning resource for how they can better hold on to their oppressive apartheid systems and institutions.
Oh they definetely learned something.
And I made someone admit they were a collaborator during the Apartheid in South Africa on 
and then got banned for death threats, lmao
Westerners consistently supported the Apartheid government. Western mobilized resistance to apartheid outside SA was always a tiny minority. Westerners just absorbed the victory over apartheid into their own mythology, immediately canonized Mandela while stripping his radicalism from their narrative, and proceeded to largely ignore SA (leaving it to be exploited).
Westerners have never learned to oppose settler-colonialism. Not once. They've either tried it and succeeded or tried it and lost the war to people they don't consider Western.
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
