>> Arriving at 250 years of American empire was made possible by the same forces that founded it: the genocide and forced displacement of Native people and by the genocide and subjugation of Black people ... It is crucial to contemplate parallels between the colonization of Turtle Island (“North America”) and #Palestine as we arrive at this moment:
>> Genocide. Land theft. Ethnic cleansing. Forced displacement of people from their homes, and sequestration into isolated areas with (artificially) scarce resources. Criminalization and surveillance. Denial of sovereignty. Erasure of native history and culture. Ideologies … that seek to justify these atrocities.
>> Supporting Palestinians’ right to return and right to self-determination in their homeland goes hand in hand with supporting Indigenous people’s demand for Land Back ...
That makes them conquerers. The Kings and Queen's of the world did not do the conquering themselves, they paid or compelled people to do it.
