passing my media literacy test after watching Starship Troopers.
IF the humans started the conflict then it's pretty much an Israel/Palestine situation.
The movie really doesn't make it clear who's the aggressor and maybe that's on purpose. The only thing the audience sees is the bugs hurling rocks at earth trying to kill everybody. In hindsight, the only reason they could even know to do that is because a brain bug figured it out where earth was as a result of an invasion.
I think a small amount of dialogue about human expansion into the galaxy would have made that more clear. If you don't put that together it's just a big dumb movie about killing bugs.
