Diaries of an American Woman http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2012/10/07/diaries-of-an-american-woman#more-22112   In the following article of Chelli Stanley, an American woman in her late twenties compares the situation in Palestine with the looting and destruction of the Dineh/Navajo people in Black Mesa, which has similar outcomes for the affected.While in Palestine the plundering and genocide is perpetrated by jews under religious pretexts, in Black Mesa (Arizona/USA) the plundering and destruction of the natives is being perpetrated by a corporation using pseudo-legal justifications for their criminal behavior.Stanley wrote me:
 “I feel like it’s a big subject and I’ve been working on writing it for a few months trying to feel comfortable with it”.Colonialism: Banning Indigenous and Promoting Barbarity
What law exists in Palestine to protect people from being attacked as they walk on their land? What law exists in Palestine to protect the people’s right to even go to their land? What law exists in Palestine to protect the people in their homes? What does law mean? What do rights mean?One of the main activities of the Israeli army in Palestine is blocking the People from the Land. Blockades, armed soldiers, minefields, checkpoints, roadblocks, permits, apartheid walls, and Israeli “law” all run around Palestine incessantly trying to block the Land from the People. For this, United States money flows into Palestine. For this barbaric stupidity, billions flow across the sea. Still, the roots of Palestine run deep and the People of Palestine continue to act with strength, courage, integrity, and devotion. They continue to inspire the deepening of intellectual consciousness about the struggle and they do this as Indigenous People. The bond between the Indigenous and the Land is something that the Israeli government will never understand.
