Again listen to the legislation that Henry Jackson, UWs International school namesake, peddled in Congress:
- Nukes for Israel
- Build a military missile base in Discovery Park instead of a park
- Strongly refuse to return land to native Americans
- Ok with leasing a slice of land to natives for a price
This, all at UW, a college definitely voted most likeliest to start all events with a land acknowledgement.
![Criticism
edit
Jackson was known as a hawkish Democrat. He was often criticized for his support for the Vietnam War and his close ties to the defense industries of his state. His proposal of Fort Lawton as a site for an anti-ballistic missile system was strongly opposed by local residents, and Jackson was forced to modify his position on the location of the site several times, but continued to support ABM development. American Indian rights activists who protested Jackson's plan to give Fort Lawton to Seattle, instead of returning it to local tribes, staged a sit-in. In the eventual compromise, most of Fort Lawton became Discovery Park, with 20 acres (8.1 ha) leased to United Indians of All Tribes, who opened the Daybreak Star Cultural Center there in 1977.
Opponents derided him as "the senator from Boeing",[22] as well as a "whore for Boeing",[23] because of his consistent support for additional military spending on weapons systems and accusations of wrongful contributions from the company; in 1965, 80% of Boeing's contracts were military.[1][21] Jackson and Magnuson's campaigning for an expensive government supersonic transport plane project eventually failed. In addition, contrary to claims that he was an environmentalist, Jackson was almost as much a "whore for logging companies" as for Boeing, according Carsten Lien's book Olympic Battleground.[24]](https://partyon.xyz/system/media_attachments/files/113/103/671/060/456/380/original/60eb1edaaa292216.png "Criticism

And now with the death of Ayşenur we see where US politicians prefer we protest, somewhere our deaths can be ignored.
Bullshit.
Meanwhile UWs Jackson School of International Studies has a statue honoring its namesake WA Senator Henry Jackson, one of America's most instrumental zionist ever in Congress.
Jackson was so Zionist he didn't want the US to sign nuclear nonproliferation teaties that would have stopped Israel from getting nukes.
