[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A professor at University of Minnesota recently called on students during a panel discussion to "dismantle the settler project that is the United States."
Professor Melanie Yazzie was participating on a panel hosted by The Red Nation,
| ... a Native American advocacy group that focusses on decolonisation and anti-capitalism, and placing Native Americans in the middle of the climate panic... |
a group to which she belongs. The anti-Israel organization's about page says the organization is "dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism" and announces its support for Paleostine and "their struggle for decolonization and landback."
The page has its own podcast playlist page that includes an episode titled, "A free Paleostine frees us all" and another published on Oct. 9 called, "'A nightmare and a dream': Paleostinians rise up."
In a clip of the discussion posted by X account @MythinformedMKE Yazzie said that people often associate the "landback" movement with "genocide."
Introducing the topic she said "landback" is not genocide but it is certainly "going to happen."
"What we really want to take away tonight, is... 'We're in the belly of the beast," Yazzie told the audience. "We're all indigenous people who come from nations that are under occupation by the United States government."
"And of course the US bankrolls the Israeli occupation of Paleostinian land. They're one in the same," Yazzie added.
| She and they deliberately ignore the fact that the Jews are actually the indigenous people of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, recorded in the histories of the surrounding nations going back to the ancient Egyptians writing about the Hebiru. |
Yazzie then further talked about the United States as the "greatest predator empire that ever existed."
"The goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States. For the freedom and future of all life on this planet depends on that," Yazzie concluded."
