Nothing angers me more than seeing the traditional way of #indigenous people and realizing what the settlers were trying to take away from us all. Their way of life benefitted all life. Its respect for all living beings. I gained nothing of value from my western schooling and "culture". Don't even get me started on #Catholic school.

The early #Zionists bought up huge tracts of fertile #Palestinian land and drove out the #indigenous inhabitants. They subsidized #European Jewish #settlers sent to #Palestine, where 94% of the inhabitants were #Arabs. They created organizations such as the Jewish #Colonization Association, later called the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association, to administer the #Zionist project.

But, as Khalidi writes, “once #colonialism took on a bad odor in the post-World War II era of decolonization, the #colonial origins and practice of Zionism and #Israel were whitewashed and conveniently forgotten in Israel and the West. In fact, #Zionism — for two decades the coddled step-child of #British colonialism — rebranded itself as an anticolonial movement.”

The region is known for violent conflicts between these various criminal groups, #government agents and #indigenous people. It was these conflicts that Mr Phillips and Mr Pereira were documenting.

Dom Phillips e Bruno Pereira foram vítimas de emboscada, denuncia indígena à Amazônia Real

Amazonia Real Por Amazônia Real

Segundo o indígena, Bruno e Dom foram recebidos apenas pela mulher de “Churrasco”, que ofereceu a eles “um gole de café e um pão”. Depois, seguiram viagem em um barco da Funai com motor de 40 HP. Nessa comunidade, haveria uma embarcação de 60 HP, fornecida por narcotraficantes para os ribeirinhos. Com um motor dessa potência, seria muito fácil alcançar o barco do jornalista e do indigenista pelo rio. A suspeita, segundo essa fonte, é que “um traficante mandou o 60 (HP do motor) para lá exatamente esperando a vinda do Bruno, porque com certeza existe informante na cidade (de Atalaia do Norte) e tinha a informação de que o Bruno ia chegar na região”.
