#colonialviolence — Public Fediverse posts

When the murderer of an #Indigenous person is characterized as the victim, this #Conservative's rant clearly falls into the #whiteFragility or #whiteSupremacist category. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/2026/05/21/manitoba-politician-calls-saskatchewan-farmer-who-killed-colten-boushie-a-victim?briefing_id=602309756&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9w5w9Kfqqz0qvY74sAiLt3u-mT_nsBt00NaiWvgiULxr3O3OFmWQaZ2hltFg9HcUJY67vTFyeTXZZXNiadyA6EGYdf7w&_hsmi=16085228

"In endorsing this so-called peace plan, Western powers, Arab states, and now the #UN itself risk endorsing an illegal expansion of the Israeli government’s territorial-maximalist settlement project—and leaving two million #Palestinians with no viable path for rebuilding their lives."

"#Israel appears to be turning the '#yellowLine' into a permanent divide, expanding military infrastructure along the line and systematically clearing all land under its control. The effect is the ethnic cleansing of 54% of #Gaza." - #ForensicArchitecture

One of many earlier #British #ColonialCrimes in #SouthEastAsia. The #BriggsPlan in #Malaysia.

The Nazi regime during WWII forever gave the term #ConcentrationCamp a name symbolic of #atrocity, so when British #colonizers once again visited the idea of #ForcedRelocation of #IndigenousPeoples to isolate them they needed another name for the enclaves. They came up with #NewVillages. The New Villages were created under the Briggs Plan, which was developed to combat the communist insurgency in #Malaya during the 1950 #MalayanEmergency. The plan was prepared by Sir Harold Briggs, a British General who was the Director of Operations in Malaya.

#Britain lost the Malayan Peninsula and their fortress at Singapore to the Japanese during WWII and reoccupied their former dominion after the fall of Japan. Among the many difficulties the British encountered was the presence of roughly a half-million #Chinese in rural Malaya, most working as farmers working small plots of land for their own sustenance on land they did not own or lease. The British administration regarded these Chinese as squatters and found them a problem because they were physically distant from the machinery of British authority, which most of the Malayan population was not happy to see return to their country.

When the Malayan #CommunistParty received support from armed #guerrillas from Malaya and #China, the British, intent on restoring #Imperial rule to the peninsula, looked with additional distrust upon these rural Chinese. While some of the Chinese were certainly sympathetic to the communists, most were indifferent. The British concern was that the communist #insurgents would receive support from the squatters in the form of food, neglecting the fact that the majority of the Chinese squatters were barely able to grow enough to support themselves. The Briggs plan required the forced relocation of the Chinese.

The New Villages isolated the Chinese, and they were guarded by Malayan police and British Military Police and some troops. The Chinese could not leave the villages except under escort and nobody was allowed in without the permission of the guards, making them effectively prisons. The villages were built with running water and electricity, amenities absent from most Malayan villages, and health care and some educational facilities were provided. This caused resentment towards the British from the Malay outside the villages, who didn’t receive the same amenities, and the Chinese, who resented the forced relocation settlement.

Although the New Villages, of which 450 were built, were an improvement over the forced detention camps of the Boer War, and death rates in the villages were roughly the same as for the rest of the country, there were racially motivated #CollectivePunishments directed towards the Chinese population in the villages. #Deportation without trial by the administration was a common punishment for the Chinese. Law within the villages was the decision of the British. Many of the villages are still standing and in recent years have been restored to serve as tourist destinations by the Malaysian government with support from China.

Professor John J. Mearsheimer was spot on when he said the # 1 biggest terrorist organization is the USA & the 2nd is Israel.
They are BFFs in destabilizing #geopolitical terrorism. Both have had impunity for their multiple war crimes for too long.

Consequences are long overdue for both of these colonial terrorist governments, filled with many war criminals.

“ 'If the Democrats want the vote of Indian people, we want them to stand with us, not only on issues like the apology around boarding schools, but we also want them to stand with us in the solidarity that we have calling for a #ceasefire in #Palestine,' says #NickTilsen, founder and CEO of the #Indigenous-led #NDNCollective."

We are a #grassroots, supporters group for #DickSmith's #FairGo, who believe we can get a FairGo when #corporations end #environmental and worker abuses.

We have reason to believe #WikimediaCommons is an arm of the #militaryIndustrialComplex, laundering #militarism and #colonialViolence abroad. They offer some photos and media as #freeLicense while shmoozing with the locals and gathering #intelligence.

We realise that that is a big statement, but we now believe it to be true.
