Pamela Geller: Brown University Celebrates ‘Palestinians’ on ‘Indigenous Peoples’ Day’
Last week, Brown University’s Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs sent out greeting for “Indigenous Peoples’ Day Weekend,” which has replaced Fall Weekend — Columbus Day weekend — in the uber-politically correct academic environment. Brown’s action is part of the larger effort by the academic left to cast Columbus as a villain and focus on Native Americans as sainted martyrs.
By Pamela Geller, Breitbart News, October 8, 2018:
But as if this celebration weren’t politicized enough, Brown made it poisonously so by including the “Palestinians” among the “indigenous people” whose plight was being observed. But what makes this story extra insidious is the fact that the school took this anti-American movement and attempted to turn it into an anti-Israel day as well. The left is so desperate to attack Israel that they twisted their own attack on the U.S. to do so.
Story continues below advertisement“Indigenous Peoples’ Day (IPD),” explained the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, “celebrates the resilience and accomplishments of Indigenous people and acknowledges the contemporary struggles indigenous communities face today. Further, IPD is an intervention against erasure, a principle barrier to the improvement of indigenous sovereignty and health status.”
The struggling indigenous people in question, according to the Diversity Office, included “567 Federally Recognized tribes, 61 State Recognized tribes,” as well as “Hawaiians and the people indigenous to its territories in the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans.” Many of these groups, the announcement went on, “experience profound disparities in health care access and health status compared to the general population, resulting in elevated rates of diabetes, liver disease, and other chronic diseases,” which are “exacerbated by a significant shortage of primary care physicians in Indigenous communities and a long-standing mistrust of the American health care system rooted in a history of genocide and forced assimilation.”
After speaking exclusively of the difficulties of indigenous people in the United States and its territories, however, the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs suddenly included an oblique and gratuitous swipe at Israel: “From Standing Rock to Palestine, Indigenous communities across the world continue to experience the pernicious effects of settler-colonialism on their sovereignty, their health, and their access to their traditional lands and practices.”

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons
And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy
Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

Dr. Camille Paglia, professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, said in a discussion with scholar Christina Hoff Sommers:
“What has happened is these young people now getting to college have no sense of history of any kind. No sense of history. No world geography. No sense of the violence and the barbarities of history. So, they think that the whole world has always been like this, a kind of nice, comfortable world where you can go to the store and get orange juice and milk, and you can turn on the water and the hot water comes out. They have no sense whatever of destruction, of the great civilizations that rose and fell, and so on, and how arrogant people get when they’re in a comfortable civilization, etc. So they now are being taught to look around them to see defects in America – which is the freest country in the history of the world – and to feel that somehow America is the source of all evil in the universe, and it’s because they’ve never been exposed to the actual evil of the history of humanity. They know nothing!”

Muslims are then occupying Turkey.
Turks are also occupying Cyprus.
And at one point occupying Palestine mandate.
I wonder who the greatest occupier of “indigenous people” is then?

Palestinians are not a people. They are a religious neo-nazi variant and terrorist organization masquerading as a people. Founded by a member of the SS.

What else would one expect? Brown has long been recognized as a bigoted racist, fascist institution. Nothing more to say.

The Arabs were FOREIGNERS to the Levant, and conquerors at that, it is like saying Korean people are indigenous to China!

Of the many, many times that China invaded Korea (I can give centuries of examples), please reference ONE single time that Korea invaded China.

Just another college without adult supervision, the insane running the asylum and no sense of history at all. I simply can not figure out what the left or academia figures is so noble about the Pal cause. The Arab record on tolerance or anything to do with human rights is out and out hideous, at best.

Palestine: a nation that never was, for a people who never were.

As the chant from the opposition goes at Brown football games: “WHAT’S THE COLOR OF BULL$#IT? BROWN! BROWN! BROWN!”
I can’t help wondering how these “indigenous peoples” would fare in terms of medical treatment for serious conditions had the advancements in medicine produced by Europeans, who these libtards are demonizing, never made it to these shores.

An interesting questionnaire for Palestinian Advocates by Yashiko Sagamori
If you are so sure that “Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history,” I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine:
When was it founded and by whom?
What were its borders?
What was its capital?
What were its major cities?
What constituted the basis of its economy?
What was its form of government?
Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?
Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
What was the language of the country of Palestine?
What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine?
What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, the German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date.
And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?
From the river to the sea, ‘Palestine’ will never be.

Do you know why they called Indians SAVAGES? You should read some of the stories. They were almost no different than Moslems of today.
John Scarry called terrorist BARBARIANS. For once I agree with this traitor and coward.
Do the left know the definition of savages and barbarians? Well, they soon will…….

What lands are these so called “Palestinians” really indigenous to? Most likely Saudi Arabia. So where exactly are these so called “bastions of learning” getting their information. They are actually in the business of recreating facts. Controlled thought!
5 years ago
Lots of BS here around the main reason. The Saudis endow Brown with 10’s of millions of dollars every year to take in hundreds of Muslim students. So Brown is now a veritable mecca of muslims in every class (called infiltration). Bottom line on Brown. You get what you pay for. And Brown professors are paid well and don’t care about ethics or diversity.

Jews are the indigenous people of Israel and it’s time we got the word out about that..
Please go to Brown U’s Twitter and let them know that!!
