A liberal arts professor at the University of Minnesota apparently suggested that people "decolonize" and "dismantle" the U.S. during an event in support of Palestine. This comes after students and professors around the country have sided with Palestine in Israel's ongoing war with Hamas.
Fox News Digital reported that earlier this month, professor Melanie Yazzie stepped on a stage with a few other speakers as part of the Red Nation, an anti-capitalist Native American advocacy group "dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism."
Yazzie apparently made some questionable statements during the event, including the suggestion that "we're all indigenous people who come from nations who are under occupation by the United States government."
However, it seems lost on Yazzie that the institution she works for is a publicly funded university, which receives substantial funding from the federal government — the same government she appeared to be criticizing.
She went on: "And, of course, the U.S. bankrolls the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. They're one and the same, really."
Yazzie's controversial statements did not stop there. She went on to suggest that she saw the whole world change after Hamas' terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, claiming that "Palestine is the alternative path for native nations."
So, I would assume those on the Left agree with her.
If so, then should native Americans turn into an armed Hamas to dig tunnels and lob rockets into Washington DC?
