In Palestine, they call it \u201csecurity\u201d and \u201cthe right to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The natives of both regions were told the same lie: \u201cThis land had no real history until we arrived. Your presence was and is temporary. Your resistance proves that you are savage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the difference between America and Palestine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In America the colonizers have largely won the demographic war and have the luxury of pretending that it all happened \u201cmany years ago.\u201d In Palestine the natives still constitute the majority of the region, refusing to disappear, still holding the keys to their land, even though they lie half-dead on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the colonizer must keep killing, keep expanding, keep begging for weapons, because eradication only works if it is total and final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when the world finally looks over and exclaims \u201cthis looks like colonialism,\u201d the response from the colonizer\u2019s allies will be: \u201cIt\u2019s complicated for both sides. We\u2019re dealing with ancient hatreds,\u201d and other nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not complicated at all. It\u2019s the oldest trick in the colonialist\u2019s playbook: You take someone else\u2019s house. You call yourself a victim when its rightful owners try to take it back, and you cry out for help from the West, which provides you with the necessary ammunition and weapons, while at the same time preaching to everyone else about human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Native Americans were told that their way of life was over. Palestinians are told the same thing in variations every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Native Americans and Palestinians were and are right to fight. Both are still right. And history will not be kind to those who saw the same crime repeated under different flags and chose comfort and silence over conscience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The colonial practice-politics in the Middle East uses the same colonial script that was used against the indigenous peoples in America, only this time&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,834],"tags":[5490,153,7827,1040,1668,7828,125],"class_list":["post-28019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-geopolitical","category-middle-east-geopolitical","tag-colonialism","tag-israel","tag-manifest-destiny","tag-middle-east","tag-palestine","tag-right-to-exist","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28019"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28022,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28019\/revisions\/28022"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
