Ah yes. Whataboutism. Suppose a robber acts in defense of a person about to be robbed. That may or may not make them a hypocrite, but it certainly doesn't make them wrong.

Or would you say it would somehow be more right for the robber to stand back and allow the robbery "because they're in no position to point fingers"?

It’s you that is whatabouting. We could (Read:should) have defended them without robbing their land.

Further to that; it doesn’t excuse the fact that we have never returned the land to them. Bit of a process appreciated, but it would have made the incredibly difficult and moronic brexit process a bit easier.

Name a nation that hasn't expanded or died out.
