You could say "They could have tryed to come to an agreement with the indains or somthing." But really come on people, do you think the indains would have took the time to actually lession to the english? I think not. Exspeicly some tribes, such as the pawny.
As for jews, sure there wear moives and stuff. But think about it. Jews have suffered probley the most, and there is no "we have rights" people for them. No one ever really talks about them. You will always see some protest or another going on of other races, and yes, somtimes there will be somthing about stuff in the middle east going on. But the jews dont get near as many suporters. Thats all there is too it.
Maybe beacause they want to leave it behind them and not try and get revenge or whatever. If that be the case then probley shouldnt be making that big a deal of it. Apologies.

I have to agree with Billikins the Bold: have I slipped into a parallel universe? No one ever talks about what happened to the Jews? Huh? Dude, the story of the Holocaust and the plight of the Jews under Nazi Germany is one of the most talked about and well known events of the 20th century.
As for the European "exploration" of America: lol, if only it were that. In truth, the Indians seldom objected to white explorers passing through their country. What they had a problem with was the hordes of settlers, supported by armies, trying to displace them from their land.
