Students for Justice in Palestine at SJSU

On Wednesday October 14, 2020, Fresno State’s Associated Students Inc. (ASI) voted in favor of the divestment resolution. This makes Fresno State the fourth California State University to pass a student government resolution that works towards divesting from companies linked to the illegal settlements in Palestine. The resolution was passed with an overwhelming majority, and only one vote against the resolution. The resolution calls for the removal of holdings from com...panies that play an active role in the human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories. As noted in the Senate meeting, there were many students who wrote public comments in support of the resolution, and shared how significant it would be to them if this resolution were to pass. The Fresno State MSA would like to thank each student who took the time to advocate for this resolution. ASI requests that Fresno State review its investments and end any potential complicity in human rights violations by divesting from the 112 companies that are linked to illegal settlements, as listed by the United Nations. The Muslim Student Association would like to thank the Associated Students government for taking a strong stance against human rights violations. The Fresno State MSA praises Fresno State ASI and student senators for their commitment to Fresno State’s students and the student’s interests.

The Truth about Columbus and his arrival in 1492. More then 50,000,000 (million) natives were slaughtered. When the 16th century ended, some 200,000 Spaniards h...ad moved to America and Northwest. By that time more than 60,000,000 (million) natives were dead. So many first nations died that they could not be counted, all through the land the indigenous lay dead everywhere, mostly women and children. The stench was very great and pestiferous. So many were dead, almost like counting the stars, the surviving natives fell victims to rape, murder, enslavement and Spanish raids. The Spaniards (white settlers) took babies from there mothers breast, grabbing them by the feet and smashing there heads against rocks. The Spaniards found pleasure in inventing all kinds of odd cruelties. They built a long gibbet, long enough for the toes to touch the ground to prevent strangling, and hanged thirteen [natives] at a time in honor of Christ the Savior and the twelve Apostles. Then, straw was wrapped around their torn bodies and they were burned alive. The chief was captured and burned alive. On another occasion, "The Spaniards cut off the arm of one, the leg or hip of another, and from some their heads at one stroke, like butchers cutting up beef and mutton for market. 40 out of Six hundred, including the cacique, were ordered to be torn to pieces by dogs. Known as (the hounds of hell) The island's population of about eight million people, at the time of Columbus's arrival in 1492, already had declined by a third to a half before the year 1496 was out. Eventually, all the island's natives were exterminated, so the Spaniards were "forced" to import slaves from other Caribbean islands, who soon suffered the same fate. The Caribbean's millions of native people were thereby effectively liquidated in barely a quarter of a century. In less than the normal lifetime of a single human being, an entire culture of millions of people, thousands of years resident in their homeland, had been exterminated. And then the Spanish turned their attention to the mainland of Mexico and Central America. The slaughter had barely begun. The exquisite city of Tenochtitlan [Mexico City] was next. All the natives in Florida were exterminated and the land was taken in the name of Christ, as well as the Caribbean lands. Of course the founders of North America were no different. Although none of the settlers would have survived winter without native help, they soon set out to expel and exterminate the Indians. In the spring of 1612, some English colonists found life among the friendly and generous natives. Governor Thomas Dale had these settlers hunted down and executed, "Some he appointed to be hanged some burned some to be broken upon wheles, others to be staked and some shot to death, this was also the punishment for those who wished to act like a native. Those who had no choice in the matter, because they were the native people of Virginia, methods were different. When an Indian was accused by an Englishman of stealing a cup and failing to return it, the English response was to attack the natives in force, burning the entire community down, when ever a white settler was found dead a whole village was burned and hundreds of natives were hung, the chief was burned alive. Other Indians were killed in successful plots of poisoning. The colonists even had dogs especially trained to kill Indians and to devour children from their mothers’ breasts, this was done until the extermination was near it’s completion. Peace treaties were signed with every intention to violate them. In 1624, sixty heavily armed Englishmen cut down 800 defenseless Indian men, women and children. In a single massacre in "King Philip's War" of 1675 and 1676 some "600 Indians were destroyed. The pastor later describe the slaughter as been a barbecue. 98% of the aboriginal race had been wiped off the face of the planet by the 1700’s Europeans are white. Spaniards are indigenous to Spain. Therefore Spaniards are white. The Spaniards as a population have some minor mixing with other races throughout their history but they are a majority white European race. They are Iberian's. There are more white settlers in Spain than in the USA. Before the arrival of the English, the western Abenaki people in New Hampshire and Vermont had numbered 12,000. Less than half a century later about 250 remained alive, a destruction rate of 98%. The Pocumtuck people had numbered more than 18,000, fifty years later they were down to 920, 95% destroyed. The Quiripi-Unquachog people had numbered about 30,000, fifty years later they were down to 1500, 95% destroyed. The Massachusetts people had numbered at least 44,000, fifty years later barely 6,000 were alive, 81% destroyed. These are only a few examples of the multitude of tribes living before Christian colonists set their foot on the 'New World.' All this was before the smallpox epidemics of 1677 and 1678. All the above was only the beginning of the European colonization, it was before the frontier age had actually begun. Smallpox and other epidemics destroyed a total of maybe more than 150 million Indians between 1500 and 1900, amounting two thirds of the population. This leaves some 50 million killed directly by violence, bad treatment and slavery. In 1703 Reveren Soloman Stoddard formally proposed to the Massachusetts Governor that the colonists be given the financial wherewithal to purchase and train large packs of dogs 'to hunt Indians as they do bears. Colonel John Chivington, a former Methodist minister and still an elder in the church had a Cheyenne village of about 600, mostly women and children, gunned down despite the chiefs' waving a white flag: 400-500 killed. Hawwaii was and use to belong to the natives. By the 1860's, "In Hawaii the Reverend Rufus Anderson surveyed the carnage that by then had reduced those islands’ native population by 90 percent or more. http://jdstone.org//fi/exterminationofamericanindians.html
