I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven. - Emily Dickinson
ThE gRaNd OfFeNsIvE cOnTiNuEs, January 13//post #84
Something beyond irony, something bloody and obliterating has been going on which colonizers and their servants the world over refuse to see. I encourage those who think Israel is ‘just defending itself’ to look at things as they really are.
There are certainly those who believe that the modern Jewish state of Israel is the will of G-d. Some of these people (a violent minority) are illegal settlers in the Occupied territories who shoot at lit windows in Palestinian homes at night, harass, assault and terrorize Palestinian people daily, incessantly, with impunity. Most illegal settlers in the Occupied territories are simply greedy, as all grassroots colonizers are.
If they can hold ‘their’ ground for ten years, any unpaid portion of the very cheap loans the government gave them to bulldoze/buy/build on stolen land will be forgiven. Hey – that sounds just like how the West was won! A land without a people for a people without a land …
If you are a North American of predominantly European origin, it is highly likely that you are the descendant of (generations of) people who felt quite justified in their support for a militarized, socially and culturally entrenched occupation of these territories and genocide against the indigenous peoples who were already living here. Their reasons certainly varied. Some were building a ‘New Jerusalem’, egged on by the voices in their heads. Many others were victims of desperate circumstances in Europe and seeking a better life in the ‘new world’; nonetheless, the fact that this ‘better life’ included the extermination of indigenous peoples seems to have had little or no effect on their individual and collective aims and strategies.
The colonial project in North America was one of redeeming the land by declaring ownership of it. In Canada, indigenous peoples were either murdered or contained on reservations and bound as property of the state under the Indian Act; the people referred to under the act as Indians were (continue to be) described by immigrants to North America as [violent, subhuman, dirty, child-like, heathen, savage, etc…] Following centuries of resistance, those who had survived the tens of millions of Indigenous peoples slaughtered by colonial adventure found themselves subject to phase 2 of the operation to erase them from the world. By the 19th century, the process of social, economic and cultural quarantine of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people was augmented to include the kidnapping, abuse and violent ‘reeducation’ of their children. The Indian Residential School system in Canada, which was an essential part of both a physical and cultural genocide and the destruction of First Nations communities, was founded on the philosophy of […killing the Indian to save the child.]. Canada’s Residential school system closed it’s last door in Saskatchewan, 1996.
Sing it with me: “O’ Canada … our home and native land …”.
Presumably, since our Prime Sinister Harper so recently stood up in the Canadian House of Commons Ill Repute and made his terribly moving apology to First Nations people on behalf of Canada/Canadians, I no longer have to break my neck proving to anyone that the colonial processes which resulted in the foundation of this country were highly criminal against the sovereign peoples already living on this land and revolved around a systematic, long-term policy of genocide toward them … do I?
Quoting directly from Mr. Harper’s “apology” on June 11, 2008: “There is no place in Canada for the attitudes that inspired the Indian Residential Schools system to ever prevail again.”
Apparently, he didn’t really mean it.
His silence burns like white phosphorous – all the way to the bone.
If you are prepared for intellectual honesty at least, what is going on between Israel and the indigenous inhabitants of the lands Israel has stolen / continues to occupy looks quite different from what you can read in most newspapers or see on most television networks.
The nature of *our existence as modern states *(Britain, France, Holland, the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Israel, etc…) is deeply rooted in our denial and defense of the racism driving our societies and our willingness to perceive peoples indigenous to the lands we covet as less entitled to peace and freedom than ourselves – disposable, subhuman. Insisting that it is our right to continue in this way is the talk of war criminals.
History IS repeating itself.
