Our Apartheid


Prince William County is starting to look like occupied Palestine. Document checks by authorities, racial division, incarceration of indigenous peoples for traffic violations of all things and talk of building walls. Zionism has returned as "The Religion of The Rule Of Law" and the undesirables are being removed. The stink of the Bush war machine oozes from the Prince William supervisors, threatening to duplicate the same tragedy here that has ravaged Palestine.

We must demand an end to war and occupation. End to the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the occupations of Haiti, Palestine, and an end to occupation of Indigenous land on Turtle Island. Demand an end to detention and deportations of migrants, many of whom were forced off their land and out of their homes by poverty and economic displacement due to neoliberal policies that the United States supports.

We should declare the boundaries between the US and Mexico, the US and Canada, null and void. Natural regions, and their capacities, would be the touchstone. A bunch of gringos could move south if they had the will to learn. Let the Chicanos who want to, move north and give their work and loyalty to their brothers and sisters north of the artificial border that separates them now. All of us will cut down population growth, white and brown alike, and then learn our ecosystems together--from Panama north--in Spanish, English, and maybe Navajo and Lakota. Multiracial patriots/ matriots of Turtle Island.

We are one human people.

Israeli apartheid does not belong here.
