Read Dee Brown's heartrending account of the ethnic cleansing of the native Americans [Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee ] to find out how the vast majority of the native American tribes were cleared from the east of America by about 1830.What happened to those people??
The Israeli zionists would like the same solution for their Palestinian problem which is why the Palestinians need world wide support.
I have read "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" I thought it was a good thing that the Jews, the Indians of the story, who were ethnically cleansed from their ancestral lands for some time, were able to return to their homeland the way the Indians have not. It was a damn shame that the so-called Palestinians, who were the settlers who came after the Jews, could not learn to live in peace with the homecomers, necessitating the UN partition plan which was not honored by the Arabs, and the wars to follow, but unlike Wounded Knee, the 'Indians' of the tale have been able to defend themselves against the aggressers.
Think what a little peace could have done. What a little peace could yet do.
