Colonialism always contains an inherent potential for genocidal acts

Evidence

That this latter is inherent in law and political management is evident not only in the actual experience of the Euro-American juridico-political systems, but more so in the colonies, which exhibit the potentiality of extreme and exceptionally violent measures more than any other location; colonialism always encompasses the inherent potential of genocidal acts, even when it is seen to take place in the home country. As Dirk Moses has aptly argued, in a tactful response to Wolfe, even the Holocaust was articulated by Hitler and the leadership of the Third Reich as a defense against a perceived Jewish colonialist project. — Wael Hallaq, Restating Orientalism, 410
