Bored leftists looking for something to scream about after Occupy Wall Street and Ferguson have glommed on to the Standing Rock protest because they care about the Sioux. Even though the Sioux really want them to just go home so they don't have to take care of a bunch of whiny privileged white leftists who don't know enough to bring their own supplies.
Fool Bear has had it with the protesters.
Go down to the camps, he says, and you won't see many Standing Rock Sioux.
"It irks me. People are here from all over the world," he says. "If they could come from other planets, I think they would."
Not long ago, he found three teenage girls from Ontario, Canada, camped out inside his storage shed. A white woman from Spokane, Washington, came to see him for help, saying she'd come here with nothing and her car had broken down. When he was at the casino recently, someone approached him about two young kids who were on their own because their parents had been arrested.
Even though Fool Bear is against the protests, that doesn't mean he's not preparing to help people out, too. He anticipates opening the community gymnasium for people without beds come winter, and a growing pile of sleeping bags and blankets sits in his office.
Those protesters from Arizona, Georgia and California won't know what hit them when the cold rushes in, he says.
Speaking of people from other planets, anti-Israel groups have climbed aboard this protest. JVP and T'ruah have rushed in to tie themselves to the protests. What do they have to do with Standing Rock? About as much as they have to do with Jews.
Linda Holtzman, who is with the extremist hate group JVP, declared, “It is our obligation to stand with the Indigenous people of Standing Rock.”
Just not with the indigenous Jewish people of Israel.
Linda has apparently already been arrested which should nicely pad out her resume. Meanwhile the Sioux just wish all the stupid leftists would go home before they get eaten by bears.
