 But this is not the case of country vs citizens

This is the occupying totalitarian regime against the occupied country and its citizens

 I meant more, “a land and its citizens”

It’s rare for the humans living in a geographic region to endorse the use of violence against humans living elsewhere, unless their immediate safety is threatened.

Yet the people in power/in control of a given region are all-too-willing to employ violence against humans living outside (and sometimes within) their territory.
