    Probably because it does nothing now while children are burning to death.

    It should definitely not be forgotten… but it also shouldn’t be our focus. Because if you focus on the inconsequential you get the situation we’ve constantly been in the last… well probably at least as long as the US has been a thing.

    If this were more like reconstruction after the US civil war, where the damage has been done and we’re trying to recover from it, it might be the same. Where forgiving past mistakes causes massive consequences that are still being felt. We’re not at that point yet, if we ever manage to get there.

      We can focus on more than one thing . There is no mistake here, a mistake is an unintentional action that have bad consequences. the USA been deliberately ignoring and helping Israel terrorism, occupation and oppression of Palestinians for decades

        Sure, but what we are going to do about it now matters far more than what we’re going to do with the people no longer in a position to do anything about it.

            There’s sure gonna be a lot of them if we spend all our time wringing our hands about what they’ve done in the past instead of preventing it in the future!

              You can’t prevent anything from happening in the future if you refuse to keep wrong doing in the past relevant

                You can’t learn from the past if you spend too much time living in it.

                    Not a single person in the world can fix all issues all at once. Most people can barely keep one important thing in their mind at a time. We have too many things to worry about to obsess about a group of people who have almost no power anymore. If the time comes when the pendulum swings back in their direction, sure, it’s worth making it an issue… but the world is on fire and you seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time buying gasoline.

                    Stop trying to fight every battle all at once, and most importantly stop trying to get everyone else to care about every battle you’re obsessed with fighting. They’ll just end up treating it like everything else, too much to deal with.
