My argument is that we should not try to whitewash the fact that the English settlers effectively invaded the country. To say otherwise is to stick your head in then sand and learn nothing from our past. Hell, how can we maintain a set of principles that we say our society espouses while misrepresenting their antithesis that manifest in these actions from both sides?

You misread and don't answer questions.

"English settlers effectively invaded the country."

So if one group of people settle in another group of people's ethno-state they are committing an invasion?

What is so sacred about an ethno-state?
