"As American Indian Studies and Indigenous scholars, it is our professional responsibility to educate our students and the general public about settler colonialism and the multi-generational traumas and horrors it produces. We teach this in our classrooms every day, but as violence escalates in Palestine/Israel, we lament the fate of civilians on both sides and feel compelled to speak out publicly. We are horrified by the violence committed by Hamas radicals and are deeply saddened by all the hundreds of individuals who were killed by their attacks. Yet, we in no way see this as a justifiable premise for the continuing dehumanization of Palestinian people and state policies of apartheid and genocide. The settler colonialism we see in nation-state based Zionism mirrors what we teach every day in our classes about the Indigenous history of Turtle Island and continuing threats to contemporary American Indian life and tribal sovereignty. This is why we cannot stay silent as we witness the oppression and genocide of Palestinians............" ais.sdsu.edu/statement
