In it, they delve into the Israeli and Palestinian perspectives on the state of Israel and discuss historical revisionism. It is a valuable resource for understanding these narratives. #MiddleEast #History #ConflictResolution #JewishHistory

The National Park Service will award $3 million in grants to 13 Tribes and 21 museums to assist in the consultation, documentation, and repatriation of ancestral remains and cultural items as part of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Major revisions to NAGPRA from from the beginning of the year went into effect.

Parallels with Palestinian Displacement Contemporary Land Claims: The historical context provided by the Doctrine of Discovery can be seen in modern land claims in Israel/Palestine, where similar justifications have been used for territorial expansion.

The history of Ethiopia is based on colonialism, land grabbing and slavery. It has become a habit for every Ethiopian regime to oppress other ethnic groups. There is distrust and hatred among the ethnic groups in the country, and no ethnic group in its region allows another ethnic group to live with their region. The solution for Ethiopia is to divide it into countries. This is what all Ethiopian ethnic scholars believe now, so that the ethnic groups can become peaceful neighbors. If this is not done, the ethnic groups in Ethiopia will soon become like self-eating barbarians.
