The Outrage of Nations

I am outraged.

Nations should not behave so dishonorably.

It is an outrage that there is a nation amongst the family of nations, which through it’s own courts and through the admission of its own elected officials, has:

1. Violated a treaty with the indigenous people of a territory that it conquered (in a non-defensive war).
2. Subjected that same people to inhuman and cruel treatment and restrictions, denied them basic human rights and wantonly perpetrated a massacre against said people, killing principally woman and children.
3. Stripped their territory, which it seized unlawfully, of the majority if not all of its natural resources.
4. Refuses, despite its own admissions, to redress the injustice to the satisfaction of the indigenous people, or international law.
5. Continues to ignore a UN decision and several resolutions that state emphatically that the nations continued occupation of said territory is a violation of international law and human rights.

Of course, I’m referring to the United States’ violation of its 1851 and 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty with the Sioux Nation, concerning the Black Hills. Upon the discovery of gold in the Black Hills, the US government purposefully and willfully violated the treaty they established with the Sioux Nation. The Sioux continually protested, were held in refugee camps called reservations. At one point, the US massacred a large number of Sioux, mainly woman and children, at Wounded Knee.

What is even more outrageous, of course, is this nation, the US, has the audacity to preach morality to any nation, especially the Nation of Israel concerning its dealings with the non-indigenous Arabs population who has repeatedly refused to come to any terms of compromise with the Jewish nation, but has instead violated every agreement with it, and continually called for its extermination.
