Marcos? Durerte? As "dyansties?" Yes. Both--there are many other post-colonial land-based oligarchic families-- have done their best to resist land reform, their colonial legacy. Land-based oligarchies trapped the Philippines into a pre-industrial ag-export/brain-drain society.
We don't recognize their authority. We also passed ASPA which basically says we will go to war if they detain any American officials or military personnel.
Native Americans, Irish, and Ukrainians fought for their homelands, all recruiting sometimes very young men. Given that every Israeli must enlist in an army that has dehumanized and terrorized Palestinians for more than half a century, do you really think Israelis think that differently?
