[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I wish the Native Americans had been as vocal and also had the unrelenting support that a few of you consistently espouse for Israel and Palestine. Today, in 2014, the poorest county in America with no electricity, is in South Dakota called Pine Ridge. I feel deeply for and saddened for the Palestineans in their plight for freedom, and I also understand the fear of security for Israel. This is a very, very complex situation with no easy answers. Death and destruction. But I will tell you that I feel some contempt when I hear both sides self-servingly spout on about the injustices but right under your noses you deliver not even lip service to right the wrong to Native Americans right here in 2014. Right here in America. When I start seeing that, maybe I will have more empathy with the hundreds of post here. When I see your outrage and your anger for the number of Native American children and young adults who die of despair and physically in the bosom of the wealthiest nation on earth, then I will feel empathy in your words. This forum has been a bully pulpit for a handful of posters. Good! That's the purpose of free speech and to call attention to injustices. I have done the same. [/quote] Please, please, start a thread, or multiple threads, about Native Americans. I for one feel just as strongly about their plight as I do about those in the Middle East. Just today I was thinking of the impact of the United States on Native Americans and its similarity to Israel's impact on the Palestinians. Given the American experience, it is not unrealistic to assume that this ends with a soccer team in the capital of Israel named the Jerusalem Ragheads. Of course, the team's owner will argue that the name is meant to honor Palestinians. I would be glad to see more attention shed on Native Americans and, especially, the history of their treatment in this country. [/quote]PP here. I guess I get a little ticked off when I keep hearing about how Palestineans have been kicked off their land and how America should step in and help right the wrong and how outraged we as Americans should be. I keep reading Native Americans mentioned in the same vein as Palestineans having their land taken and all is forgotten. It burned me up. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to vent. The Native American ordeal deserves as much attention to right the wrong. I just ask that the poster who continually uses them in his analogy understand that it's more to some of us than just a passing reference.[/quote]
