Sure, we didn't invade these countries but we maintain the colonial power structures and continue to benefit from colonisation as indigenous people continue to be dispossessed. It's easy and convenient to point your finger at the past and say thats where all the responsibility lies

I mean, depends on your definition of invasion. I have no problem calling British and French colonization of North America "invasion" but my main point is, Israel is actively doing it right now and all of the other countries listed did it hundreds of years ago where we can't reach them.

Ah, when I said "we didn't invade", I mean us personally. Our forefathers certainly did invade.
