    Settlers always know what they are doing, of course; it was why they worked so hard to slaughter the buffalo: they wanted to kill indigeneity, not just individual indigenous people. A people who marked time and history by the buffalo could not survive in their collectivity without it. And so, as “Plenty Coups” of the Crow nation put it,

    “When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground, and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened.”

    His point was that without the buffalo—the object on and through which his people existed and made collective meaning—their history could not continue. Individuals could survive, as he had, but the people had (arguably) come to an end.

    no reason given

    Isn’t it obvious? Zionists hate learning, which is why they’re repeating the same mistakes that other anticommunists made in the Vietnam War, the Fascist suppression of Libya, &c. The long‐term goal of Zionism is ensuring that all cognitive functioning comes to an end forever, and destroying educational facilities is a good start.

    “The […] occupiers, through these actions, aim to propagate a culture of ignorance, keeping our people away from the march of knowledge and civilization, and forcibly displacing intellectuals outside of Palestine,” the university said in a statement.
