Is it okay that the UN wants to give away half of California to the Abujans, who currently live in Colombia!?


Is it okay that the UN wants to give away half of California to the Abujans, who currently live in Colombia!?
The Abujans are Native Americans. The group's Holy book, the Abuja, mentions that their ancient Holy Land is in the southern area of California, roughly extending from Los Angeles down to the Mexican border. There are some Abujans (a very small number, perhaps 2-10%) that live in Southern California now, in peace with everyone else. The UN has dominion over this southern part of California. Do you think it's okay if the UN declares a new State will be made in this part of California and it will serve as the Homeland for the Abuja, as it is their "Historical Homeland," referenced by their Holy Book. These Native Americans suffered greatly at the hands of Colombians; it was essentially a Holocaust. They didn't suffer at the hands of Southern Californians, though. They've essentially suffered everywhere they've been. They say they need this Homeland to be safe, since no one else accepts them. Millions of Abujans from around the World can then go to Southern California. Do you think it's a good idea for the UN to take the Land and Homes of the people that currently live in Southern California and designate it the new Homeland for the Abuja? No? Do you think that Southern Californians, Northern Californians, and Americans in general might consider this to be a little Unjust? You think they might fight back? Yes? Then you kind of understand how Palestinians feel. Christian AND Muslim Palestinians. Here's a site that is maintained by a troupe of PhD students at Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and the London School of Economics, in addition to contributing scholars, that describes what Americans NEED TO KNOW about the situation in Palestine and Israel: Here it is again: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/ Mark, i agree with you about the White European genocide of Native Americans. i was just trying my best to create a parallel to demonstrate that Stealing peoples Land (whether their Palestinian or Native American) is Abhorrent.

In reference to the Abujans, yes, the should be given a sizable tract of land to call their home. White Europeans invaded the Native American's home and killed almost every single one of them, not just in California, but all over the US and Canada. Concerning Palestine, it was the WWII ALies, lead by the US, that encouraged Zionism and the creation of Israel. Why was Hitler's holocaust considered a tragedy and the American holocuast allowed?

I like the group you chose to demonstrate your point because my dad is Nigerian (from Abuja, haha). The "Abujans" should get the Land because what European Colonization did to the Natives (and i think you'll agree with me on this given what you've written in other answers...but i understand you were trying to demonstrate a point) was absolute Genocide. I don't think anything compares to it; not even the holocaust. But of course i see your point about Israel and Palestine. They (the British) basically took away the Palestinians Lands and gave it to Jewish Settlers. i like your point about the 2-10% because in 1882 the jewish population in Palestine was only 8%, while the non-Jewish population was 92%. By the time Israel was created in 1948, the non-Jewish population (i.e. Palestinian Christians and Palestinian Muslims) was only 14%: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsou… The creation of Israel was an absolute disaster. And today, they have the longest running Occupation on the planet. The entire World Excoriates Israel - Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America, etc. - for its Brutal Occupation of Palestine. In fact, the EU and UN have been trying to sentence Israeli leaders as war criminals. NELSON MANDELA himself Scolded Israel for their Brutal Apartheid Occupation (source:http://www.progressiveaustin.org/mandela… This relationship is the number One Reason that America Is Targeted by Militants (Muslim AND Christian - cause there are a lot of Arab Christians, like Shakira, Salmay Hayek, Ralph Nader, Nidal Ahmadieh (god she's hot), etc. ). Did everyone forget about Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian CHRISTIAN that assassinated Robert Kennedy? I don't understand (and neither does the Rest of The World) why America lends unquivocal, unprecedented support to Israel. Israel is a Big Boy. It's by far the most Militarily Advanced country in the region, and the Overwhelming Power in the Middle East. It can take care of itself. Like President Carter said, Israel has more than 160 Nuclear War Heads (although among academic circles, we understand it to be around 200). That's 160 more than any of its neighbors, LOL ! I reiterate: Israel can definitely take care of itself. I think AIPAC is probably the reason why, though, that the US fully backs the Isralei governement even though it hurts America's Interests and national security. Fortune did say it was the second most Powerful Lobby in Washington: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/f… Which makes it the most Powerful Lobby on American Foreign Policy in Washington. By far. Thanks for that great website. I'm a postdoc student in England. I could use those statistics!

There was a Native American genocide. I just used the "Abuja" to demonstrate a point.

I hear you, the whole issue sucks. As for the "Abujan's", as much as that property is valued I doubt it will ever be taken for public use. They'ed probably give them Oklahoma. Oh wait, they already tried that. Capitalism and the the idealistic westward expansion of manifest destiny strike again. Interesting how we are so intent on defending the native homelands of people's abroad but when it comes to the natives of the land we live in it's all about property values and convenience. Thanks for the link by the way, that's a great one.

Great idea. The USA is stolen form natives so it's only fair.

The Jews were in Israel for what 600 years before the Muslim religion even existed. SO by your logic this makes the Jews the Abuja and the Palestinians the eqivelent of Americans. There is no "Palestinians" they are a mix of other Muslim and mid Eastern refugees and its not like there is not enough desert over in that part of the world that they can't go back were they came from. FAIL

"Then you kind of understand how Palestinians feel" Apples and oranges. Problem is that the Palestinian connection to what is now Israel, is based on lies. Helping the Palestinians Falsify History http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/evelyn-gordon/172342 Let me give you a true anecdote written to a Jerusalem newspaper by an Israeli citizen. Now, this Israeli was friends with an Arab family since he was a little child. After he has grown up, he buys their 2 room house from them. (The Arab family had owned that house for 90 years). The Israeli sets about expanding the house from a 2 room to a 5 room house. One day he is relaxing in his newly renovated home when theres a knock at the door. At the door is an Arab gentleman and a young boy. The gentleman identifies himself as a member of the family that lived in the house. He wanted permission to show his young son his old home where he was born and lived as a child. The Israeli, who has known the previous Arab owners practically all his life, doesnt recognize or remember this Arab gentleman as being a member of the family. Still, he thought he could be wrong, and allowed the Arab in to show his son around. Much to the Israelis surprise, the Arab gentleman went into great specific detail over his memories of the place. He would go from room to room, describing to his son how he and/or a member of the family did this and that in this room, such and such in that room. Problem was that the Arab Gentleman was doing this to the rooms that the Israeli had added on after he bought the place. The rooms that didnt exist before then.

No, you are incorrect...palestine never belonged to itself...it always belonged to other countries... excerpt... The name "Palestine" is the cognate of an ancient word meaning "Philistines" or "Land of the Philistines".[7][8][9] The earliest known mention is thought to be in Ancient Egyptian texts of the temple at Medinet Habu which record a people called the P-r-s-t (conventionally Peleset) among the Sea Peoples who invaded Egypt in Ramesses III's reign.[10] The Hebrew name Peleshet (פלשת Pəléshseth)- usually translated as Philistia in English, is used in the Bible to denote the southern coastal region that was inhabited by the Philistines to the west of the ancient Kingdom of Judah.[11] The Assyrian emperor Sargon II called the same region Palashtu or Pilistu in his Annals.[7][8][8][12] In the 5th century BCE, Herodotus wrote in Ancient Greek of a 'district of Syria, called Palaistinê" (whence Palaestina, whence Palestine).[7][13][14][15] According to Moshe Sharon, Palaestina was commonly used to refer to the coastal region, and shortly thereafter, the whole of the area inland to the west of the Jordan River.[7] The latter extension occurred when the Roman authorities, following the suppression of the Bar Kokhba rebellion in the 2nd century CE, renamed "Provincia Judea" (Iudaea Province; originally derived from the name "Judah") to "Syria Palaestina" (Syria Palaestina), in order to complete the dissociation with Judaea.[16][17] During the Byzantine period, the entire region (Syria Palestine, Samaria, and the Galilee) was named Palaestina, subdivided into Diocese I and II.[18] The Byzantines also renamed an area of land including the Negev, Sinai, and the west coast of the Arabian Peninsula as Palaestina Salutoris, sometimes called Palaestina III.[18] The Arabic word for Palestine is Philistine (commonly transcribed in English as Filistin, Filastin, or Falastin).[19] Moshe Sharon writes that when the Arabs took over Greater Syria in the 7th century, place names that were in use by the Byzantine administration before them, generally continued to be used. Hence, he traces the emergence of the Arabic form Filastin to this adoption, with Arabic inflection, of Roman and Hebrew (Semitic) names.[7] Jacob Lassner and Selwyn Ilan Troen offer a different view, writing that Jund Filastin, the full name for the administrative province under the rule of the Arab caliphates, was traced by Muslim geographers back to the Philistines of the Bible.[20] The use of the name "Palestine" in English became more common after the European renaissance.[21] The name was officially revived and used after the fall of the Ottoman Empire (1517–1917) and applied to the territory in this region that was placed under the British Mandate for Palestine. Some other terms that have been used to refer to all or part of this land include Canaan, Greater Israel, Greater Syria, the Holy Land, Iudaea Province, Judea,[22] Israel, "Israel HaShlema", Kingdom of Israel, Kingdom of Jerusalem, Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael or Ha'aretz), Levant, Retenu (Ancient Egyptian), Southern Syria, and Syria Palestina.

This doesn't make any sense! Why would the UN cut up their Communist Utopia work in progress!? Oh no, I'm confused! Do you think Dear Leader Obama will let this happen? Well, he is a wise and omnipotent comrade, so maybe this is to further advance the cause of utopia on earth! Yeah, the Israeli - Palestinian conflict makes me sick too. Then when someone like Ron Paul speaks out about the Israeli aggression and terrorism, they're called an "Anti-Semite". Anti-Semite would imply you hate all Semitic peoples, which most Muslims and middle easterners are as well; not just Jews. What was it that made the US start helping Israel to being with? The Holocaust of course. It was based on the idea that the Germans would start killing Jews again for some odd reason. Never mind the fact that Hitler was dead, and only tiny groups of brain-washed thugs did the killing. And never mind the fact that the vast majority of citizens were horrified when they realized what was really going on. Those damn Germans will start it again in 10-20yrs! :-/ As far as I know, Germany actually pays an annual apologist reparation to Israel; as if modern Germans are all responsible for the Holocaust? Pretty sad... Especially since, by now, nearly all of the Nazi orchestraters are dead or were captured and punished years ago (rightfully so). But it doesn't make sense to punish an entire country for something an old government did generations ago. The same thing is true of trying to punish the United States for the horrible things our government did to the natives. Yes, it was wrong. But no, you can't punish innocent people today because of what happened before they were born. But that is Marxist logic at its finest. I am a Christian, and have not a drop of prejudice against the Jew or the Muslim. However, I HATE killing and violence; especially when it is so senseless. Looking at the statistics of the violence between Israel and Palestine, it's obvious who the aggressors are. If I were a Palestinian, I couldn't say I would be above striking back. We seem to think here in the west that we have "socially evolved", and are somehow better than those people and our ancestors. What nonsense! We are so "ethical" and "nice" because we are all raised rich and comfortably; especially compared to people abroad. Take away that wealth and comfort, and we are just as crude and violent as the ancients and the people living in third world countries. But what's even worse are militaristic countries which pride themselves on war; like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and Israel. America has fallen victim to this mindset as well. It can be because of religion or simply ideals. In Israel, it is all about religion and the idea that the Jewish people are superior and will fight to the end of time. In the Soviet Union, is was all based upon the ideals that Communism was just and right; the Capitalist enemy and bourgeois must be destroyed! In Nazi Germany, it was a mixture of occultist religion and whacky racist ideals. Sadly, these stupid fluctuations in "justifying" violence are going to continue, it seems. As time progresses, however, it will be much less about religion, and more about twisted Marxist ideology, like the Soviet Union (who already holds probably the highest death toll in history). It just goes to show, religion AND politics can spiral out of control. Gone, for the most part, are the days of "moral" crusades and "holy" violence (though examples like Israel remain). But since the early 20th century, the days of "just" violence for idealic, Marxist, warring causes have begun to usher in a new era of bloodshed. And it will be far more deadly and costly!

Apply to Simon Fraser as well as a backup. That C makes you marginal for UBC. Those are the real fees. They do not include living expenses though. They are heavily subsidized by the government of BC.
