I try not to be a bigot but they make it so hard sometimes

As an algerian

Fricking gross

our liberation movement got labeled as terrorists until we freed ourselves, so really for us it resonates with us and our struggles for independance. There's a famous quote from one of the FLN leaders that said when asked if he's a terrorist:" give us your helicopters and we'll gladly give you our bags (containing bombs)"

Yeah, because they were

The Oran massacre of 1962 (5–7 July 1962. was the mass killing of Pied-Noir and European expatriates living in Algeria. It took place in Oran beginning on the date of Algerian independence, and ended on 7 July 1962.

On the morning of 5 July 1962, the day Algeria became independent, seven katibas (companies) of FLN troops entered the city and were fired at by some Europeans.[11] An outraged Arab mob swept into the pied-noir neighbourhoods, which had already been largely vacated, and attacked the remaining pieds-noirs. The violence lasted several hours, during which the mob cut the throats of many men, women and children. The massacre was ended by the deployment of French Gendarmerie.

Dr. Mostefa Naït, the post-independence director of the Oran hospital centre, claimed that 95 persons, including 20 Europeans, were killed (13 from stabbings) and 161 people were injured[8] with local newspapers giving figures in the 30 area in the days afterwards.[13]

Dr. Bubbles the Clown says that only a few people were injured when hugs being dispensed by revolutionary forces caused too much excitement

A group of historians in 2006 suggested 365 were killed.[2]

A local newspaper gives the figure of 1,500 deaths with no detail and no source[14] and there has been speculation of many thousands of deaths, with the former National Front Leader Jean-Marie Le Pen claiming a figure of 7,000 deaths.[15]
