while attacking the poor white colonists, the Indians were the pioneers of terrorism?

Question

they (terrorist indians) scalped them and burned their carriages and houses.
these apaches Palestinian make the same thing with the Jewish colonists to which God gave these lands. These apaches are so fanatic that they do not understand that it is our god who promised selected people these land

LANDS :I MEAN ISRAEL (PALESTINE)

Answer 1

They were here first.

They lived in a unique way because, thanks to their ancestors' difficult passage across the Bering Straits and the Arctic, there were damn few diseases to affect them. People with great-grandparents living were not uncommon. Life expectancies were in the 60 to 70 range, with older quite possible.

Then came the fanatics. The Europeans were fanatic about their faith, which they saw as The Only Way To Believe Else We Kill You. They brought disease from which the natives had no defense, and the Europeans thought that God killed them out of spite, when it was basically bad luck.

Hell, they defiled graves and ate the dead when they wanted - or needed - to. (This is documented in settler journals and diaries and letters.)

European settlers to the Americas caused the first great holocaust, and I don't use that term lightly. Easily 98% of the pre-Columbian population was exterminated by disease and superior firepower.

Likewise, the Palestinians were there first. Jews may have been there historically, but they dispersed themselves after the destruction of the Temple.

Like every redraw of the Middle Eastern map since WWI, the excision of the state of Israel was done without concern of the people who were there. Iraq, for example, was drawn up specifically to be a powderkeg.

Answer 2

Correction. When whites came to America and started terrorizing the Indians with modern weaponry, killing them with bio-weapons (small pox), stealing their lands, and burning THEIR houses... so arguably the whites were the "pioneers of terrorism." I am not so sure you can practice terrorism in self defense.

Literally, all "terrorism" means is to use terror as a means of coercion. I guess you could argue that they were trying to "coerce" us into going home, but that is a two-way street. If you want to get technical, though, then terrorism has existed since the dawn of man. The use of terror for coercion has been used by pretty much every major civilization in history. You could even, arguably, make an argument that the Native Americans could not have been terrorists, because they did not have a word for terrorism, which was adapted into the English vocabulary only as recently as the French Revolution. The modern sense of the word was not created until the rise of communism in the early 20th century. This linguistic argument is rather weak, however, due to the fact that the term was not around, but the concept was. You could make this argument, though.

You can't argue, however, what you are attempting to argue, at least not with any validity or historic accuracy. Your argument is poor and not based in reality. Sounds like a politically biased and racist view of history. The "our God promised us the land" argument has not been used by anyone in American history with an ounce of intellect in almost a century, and even most religious groups don't buy into that argument. The only fanatic in this story is you. I won't comment on the Palestinian-Israel debate, however, because that is outside the scope of my knowledge base. I will say that you need to better educate yourself on American history before you make sweeping and inaccurate statements about groups of people you obviously know little about.

Answer 3

a million. the yank Indians have been as "wild" through fact the colonists who exterminated (what a tiny fraction keeps to be) them & their way of existence. 2. The Jewish colonists are undesirable ? 3. The Israelis additionally attack the Palestinians. There are 2 components to this conflict & neither of the two are morally accountable/upright. 4. What particular awareness supplies u the main appropriate to pass judgement in this subject, while you're munching a burger on your comfortable armchair ?

Answer 4

If you declare such acts as a terrorism, then the indians were not the first. That's the way the Galls and Teutons fought the Roman Empire some years BC, and I doubt it they were the first ones.

Answer 5

Actually I think that we took the land they had for thousands of years and lived peacefully on. I also think that the "god loving founders" of this country used biological warfare agaisnt the indians in the form of small pox laced blankeys. I also think that they cheated the natives out of thousands of acres of land buy buying them cheaply, and then ultimatley killing millions of people.

Answer 6

you would do things like that too if the colonists did things like kick you off land your tribe had used for generations and gave you blankets infected with smallpox bacteria.
understanding why different cultures do the things they do is the first step towards tolerance and a step away from ignorance.

Answer 7

Haha yeah those damn dirty indian terrorists taking OUR LAND away. Just like how Saddam took our oil away and hid it under his land!
(time to put down the bottle and hit the bed big guy)

Answer 8

Did you know that Christopher Columbus had cut off the arms of Native Americans because they wouldn't work hard enough to find gold for him?

Answer 9

Nowhere in the Bible do I recall God promising America to the white Europeans.

Answer 10

yes Palestinians and Indians are terrorists
