more legends than canon. Though George Lukas had the neimodians be karmically genocided or something.

Yeah that’s what I am getting at. But I have to disagree with the not prone to rebellion- Ghorman had several incidents of seditious acts against the empire, from tarkin massacre, to the killing of an imperial investigator that led to the starvation of ghorman in s1 to the final ghorman massacre. The ghor were propagandized as troublesome.

I know Gilroy wants both for ghorman to be palestine and western europe at the same time, which causes disharmony with the messaging.

Alphorn isn’t exclusive to Switzerland, just as alpine-style drindl/tracht, its common in both alpine regions of italy, germany, france and austria as well.

But I can infer what you mean. Historically french switzerland wasn’t famed for its textiles.

Israel supported both sides.

France also did the same thing in the Congo, which was the reason for soviet support for Nigeria, despite the Igbo's having a leftist element and having "global sympathy".

Also what anglo wikipedia omits is that israhell supported both sides:

From early on, Israel perceived that Nigeria would be an important player in West African politics and saw good relations with Lagos as an important foreign policy objective. Nigeria and Israel established a linkage in 1957. In 1960, the United Kingdom allowed the creation of an Israeli diplomatic mission in Lagos, and Israel made a $10 million loan to the Nigerian government. Israel also developed a cultural relation with the Igbos based on possible shared traditions. These moves represented a significant diplomatic success given the Muslim orientation of the northern-dominated government. Some northern leaders disapproved of contact with Israel and banned Israelis from Maiduguri and Sokoto. Israel did not begin arms sales to Nigeria until after Aguyi-Ironsi came to power on 17 January 1966. This was considered an opportune time to develop this relationship with the federal government. Ram Nirgad became Israeli ambassador to Nigeria in January. Thirty tons of mortar rounds were delivered in April. The Eastern Region began seeking assistance from Israel in September 1966. Israel apparently turned down their requests repeatedly, although they may have put the Biafran representatives in contact with another arms dealer. In 1968, Israel began supplying the Federal Military Government with arms—about $500,000 worth, according to the US State Department. Meanwhile, as elsewhere, the situation in Biafra became publicised as a genocide. The Knesset publicly debated this issue on 17 and 22 July 1968, winning applause from the press for its sensitivity. Right-wing and left-wing political groups, and student activists, spoke for Biafra. In August 1968, the Israeli Air Force overtly sent twelve tons of food aid to a nearby site outside of Nigerian (Biafran) airspace. Covertly, Mossad provided Biafra with $100,000 (through Zurich) and attempted an arms shipment. Soon after, Israel arranged to make clandestine weapons shipments to Biafra using Ivory Coast transport planes. The nations of sub-Saharan Africa tended to support the Arabs in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute by voting for resolutions sponsored by Arab states at the United Nations. A major goal of Israeli diplomacy was to wean the African states away from the Arab states and given the way that the majority of African nations supported Nigeria, Israel was loath to antagonise them by supporting Biafra too overtly.

France has alpine regions too, you know. They call that region "Arpitania" nowdays.

This person just spouts OG American nationalism (Puritans escaping a morally removed Europe for the "untamed" new world), but applying it to space.

The Biafra conflict was in part france trying to regain a sphere of influence at the expense of the UK. Thats why the sides fell the way they did.
