Now, as to the view that this is how anyone who had suffered imperialism or colonialism would behave: no, itβs not. Entire countries such as India, were colonized. Thereβs a difference between whatβs happening in Iraq with the so-called Islamic Stateβs attempted genocide of the Yazidi community and how Gandhi acted in India. Letβs take Iraq as a case study and think about it: What does killing the Yazidi population on Mount Sinjar have to do with US foreign policy? What does enforcing headscarves (tents, in fact) on women in Waziristan and Afghanistan, and lashing them, forcing men to grow beards under threat of a whip, chopping off hands, and so forth, have to do with US foreign policy?
