Writing on Mondoweiss, New Yorker Nima Shirazi
compared Hamas to the "Shawnee leader Tecumseh, who dared resist the ongoing
white settlement, genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native
Americans."
How can we ever get it right when it is written
by a Euro~ American or in this case none of the above?
Tecumseh was a leader of a nation that was being
assimilated by a Euro~ American nation!
The Hamas are a group of people that took over a
nation of people who’s name was changed by a Roman conquering nation that
adsorbed Israeli!
It seems that even the Egyptian's recognizes
Israel as a people at least back as far as 1200 BC!
After many wars the Roman Empire captured
Jerusalem in 66 BC and it was absorbed into the Roman empire. In 1 BC a series
of revolts against the Romans led to the forced dispersal of much of the Jewish
population from Jerusalem and Judea, Jerusalem being renamed Aelia Capitolina
and Judea province renamed Syria Palestina by the Roman Empire, this however,
did not happen from any Arabian war and as stated it was much of not all of that
country! In other words many Israelites stayed behind, that makes them native to
the land!
So Hamas ( Palestine) should be compared the
American war machine a conquering nation and Israeli to Chief
Tecumseh!
A Special Place in Hell
by Bradley Burston
Thanksgiving at the end of a war between
natives, Gaza and Israeli
At this time I think a little wise sense of
humor would be in order.
Tecumseh and the General while sitting on a log
discussing the Indians next move out west, Tecumseh kept sliding over on the log
toward the General and saying "move over".
This was repeated until finally the General was
at the end of the log and Tecumseh gave him a shove and said once more "move
over". The General replied " I can't, I am at the end of the log".
Tecumseh then said wisely to him, "now you know
how it is for my people".
How many more times should the western countries
allow the Arabian countries to tell Israeli to move over before Israeli pushes
back and takes back the log?
