Notice how your examples of reparations are to those who were directly harmed, which seems fair. Saying I owe someone for what our great-great-great-great-grandfathers did to their great-great-great-great-grandfathers?
- ashwagary 4y ago>So I have to prove what was stolen from ME The nitpick falls flat since brevity was the objective of my statement. "You and/or your ancestors" works. As long as the state that damaged your family still exists, a claim can be made. Yours is also a weak counter because the precedent is already set in similar cases. Many Jewish reparations recipients were never in concentration camps but their relatives and/or descendants could prove the damages.
