3:47Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - Dennis Banks, the legendary Native American activist and co-founder of the American Indian Movement, was in New York City this weekend to serve as a jurist at the Russell Tribunal on Palestine, an international people's tribunal created in 2009 to bring attention to the responsibility other states bear for Israel's violations of international law. Banks says, "What is happening to [Palestinians] is what we went through during the last century. It is, unfortunately, the same people [backing it]: it is the U.S. government which funnels money to Israel, and then it goes to hurt the Palestinian people."
