Native Americans liken US colonialism to Zionist expansionism

Tehran, Qodsna - The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s council passed a resolution in support of Palestinians in Gaza by a 14 to 1 vote.

The resolution references the parallels between what happened in the United States to Native Americans and what is currently happening to the Palestinians in Gaza.

In a report issued by the United Nations, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, stated there are clear indications that the Zionist regime has violated three of the five acts listed under the UN Genocide Convention.

In addition to passing the resolution, the tribal president was asked to advance similar resolutions to the Great Plains Tribal Chairman's Association, the Coalition of Large Tribes, the National Congress of American Indians and the US Congress and House of Representatives.

Members of the Navajo Nation also called on their leadership to speak up and stand with Palestine during a tumultuous time of war.

Indigenous activists from other tribes around the US have also voiced their concerns about the events in Gaza and called for a cease-fire. They are showing their support for Palestine on social media, participating in marches, hosting podcasts, and more.

Groups such as NDN Collective and the Red Nations have sent out releases demanding a cease-fire to "stop the genocide."

Randy Alcorn, Noozhawk Columnist wrote an article titled “Similarities Between Palestinians, Native Americans Growing More Obvious.”

Alcorn concluded, if there is a solution to be found to this chronic conflict, other than the wholesale ethnic cleansing of one side by the other, America needs to start evaluating the situation objectively and recognize that its support of Israel cannot continue to be unconditional, nor its foreign policy in the matter so one-sided.
