Abstract
This essay addresses the historical parallel between the genocide of the North American Indians, who characterized the formation of American nation by the Westward expansion, and the genocide of the Palestinian people, under the State of Israel expansionist and militaristic policy. The author stresses the parallel between the exceptionalistic religious narratives (of the “chosen people”) as ideological support to legitimize the violent process by which “democratic” regimes are established in both cases, in which denomination is codified in legal codes of expropriating land and exceptional status established for citizens of one (colonized) nation within the other (colonizing).
