### **Notes**

* For some reason, a lot of people on the left don’t know it was settler-states (eg. Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, South Africa, Brazil) and colonial powers (eg. France, United Kingdom) who actively block any attempt of incorporating destruction of culture, religion, language and intelligentsia as “genocide”.
