It is difficult to estimate the number of pre-Columbian Native Americans who were living in what is today the United States of America. Estimates range from a low of 2.1 million to a high of 18 million (Dobyns 1983). By 1800, the Native population of the present-day United States had declined to approximately 600,000, and only 250,000 Native Americans remained in the 1890s.

1970: 1.03 million, 2014: 4.55 million (projecting to 2016 ~ 4.86 million).

Stanley Cohen, author of this piece for BDS, is a top defender & attorney for Hamas.... shira Jul 2016 #8

Stanley Cohen seems to be an interesting character. Little Tich Jul 2016 #10

Cohen is perfect for the racists at the Mondoweiss toilet. Supports murdering Jews... shira Jul 2016 #11

I was hoping you had something really juicy on Stanley Cohen - but apparently not, Little Tich Jul 2016 #14

Being a Hamas supporter of terrorism isn't enough? For real? shira Jul 2016 #15

In line with Stanley Cohen's support for terror, here's Mondoweiss Oct 2015.... shira Jul 2016 #13

It's deceptive to refer to him as Hamas' attorney FBaggins Jul 2016 #12

At least he's honest about one thing. aranthus Jul 2016 #7
