What is this meant to mean?

Today marks the day the genocide of Aboriginal peoples and colonisation of Australia began. That today is a day of mourning not celebration.

Captain Cook had nothing to do with the colony. He died in 1779 - years before the settlers arrived. While agreeing with the sentiment that the arrival of Europeans is not cause for celebration, Cook had always been a dumb target for protesting Jan 26.

Oh, I wasn’t aware that he was that guy. But for sure, all colonisers are awful people who destroyed cultures irreplaceably

Why?

Government made it illegal to say Israel is engaged in genocide as it might be offensive to the Jewish faith.
