Civil Rights?

If this was a story about American blacks, or Irish, or Latinos or Chinese or Moslems or Martians...
...what would the world's reaction be?


Until eighty years ago, there was a strong and continued presence, for thousands of years, in a certain city. Then they were brutally attacked and many were murdered by their neighbors, members of a different religion.

The police forced the survivors to abandon their home, "for their own protection." Forty years later descendents and others of the persecuted group returned. Even though their own co-religionists were governing the city, the returnees are not given any support to return, even when they can prove that the homes are legally theirs.

There's a "parallel rule," descended from those who massacred the innocent population all those decades ago. They consider it immoral and illegal to sell to the other group and kill the sellers.

The national government does not want to see its people return to its ancestral homeland.

Why haven't international and local civil rights activists come to support the returnees?
