Way past time! Zionism is the Jewish people\u2019s land back movement for peaceful and secure self-sovereignty and survival upon our decolonized land of Israel. Zionism is Judaism. Judaism is Judea-people-ism upon Zion, the land of Israel. Zionists equals Jews, full stop! Besides our inherent right to decolonized self-sovereignty upon our ancestral land of Israel, we Jews wrestle with the questions of how to explain ourselves and our \u201cIndigenous resistance\u201d in this 21st century CE. Here are more of our stories\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"If<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Questions\u2026. Is the Six Days of Creation story an ancient BCE human attempt to explain evolution? Is knowledge of evolution genetically inherited? Why ask these questions? Perhaps, so that you\u2019ll look briefly upon the Genesis story from an evolutionary scientist\u2019s perspective:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 \u2013 The Creator\u2019s breath hovered upon the chaotic watery abyss (the primordial elements) and the Creator declares the existence of \u201clight\u201d (Evening, the big bang), wherein the Creator separates this \u201clight\u201d from \u201cdarkness\u201d (Morning, the expansion of the known universe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2 \u2013 The Creator separates water from water (Evening, molten magma of this primeval \u201cEarth\u201d produces surface waters and, Morning, the atmosphere sky develops above the budding waters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3 \u2013 Evening, the Creator gathers the surface water into \u201cseas\u201d, thus revealing the dry land and, Morning, the Creator creates diverse plant-life (anaerobic organisms that have developed photosynthesis abilities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4 \u2013 The Creator places the unique lights in the sky that will be used to mark seasons and times (Evening, it is through freshwater green algae that the atmosphere became oxygenated enough to, Morning, allow aerobic organisms to spread upon the dry land).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5 \u2013 The Creator creates the fish and the uber-large flying insects above the water and land (Evening, biodiversity within the oceans and in the skies), then creates the sea monsters, creatures that crawl upon land, and winged fowl (Morning, the dinosaurs!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 6 \u2013 The Creator creates cattle, creeping things, and beasts upon the land (Evening, the mammals that replaced the dinosaurs), and created humankind (Morning, the various types of human hominid species, that eventually became just one human species at some point after interbreeding \u2013 see the next Gan Eyden creation story for more details \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7 \u2013 The Creator takes a day of resting from all this creating and does this from Evening, through Morning, until Evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it would seem that our ancient BCE Jewish cosmologist had a clear understanding of evolution, but didn\u2019t have the \u201cscientific age\u201d verbage by which to express this. Complex understanding, shared in beautiful poetic storytelling. \u2026 And, naysayers, LISTEN! This is the way of all Indigenous peoples upon this planet Earth, since there have been the \u201chuman species\u201d people upon our miraculous \u201cgarden of Eden\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions? Objections?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final, personal, thought: I often wonder \u201cwhy\u201d humans of this 20th-21st century CE have NO vision of the Oneness between what is \u201csacred\u201d and what is \u201csecular\u201d. These are not dualities that are competing with each other! Living a \u201csacred\u201d (sanctified) life by rituals and native (passed down) storytelling does not make you \u201creligious\u201d as opposed to \u201cnon-religious\u201d. It makes you a member of a Native people and, thankfully, an attentive observer of our ever developing struggle to be One with life as human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must bring our whole selves to the encounter with the Talmudic text, as we must allow the Talmud to bring its full self to its encounter with us. We must give full voice to our beliefs and our biases, and let the Talmud speak its own (for we are no less conditioned by the 21st century than the Talmud is by Antiquity). We must negotiate our differences, and dialogue where we disagree.\u201d \u2013 Gila Fine, Talmud scholar, The Madwoman In The Rabbi\u2019s Attic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Torah scroll (redacted 7th through 5th century BCE), Nevi\u2019im scroll (redacted 2nd century BCE through 1st century CE), Ketuvim scroll (redacted 6th century BCE through 2nd century CE), Mishna (redacted 1st century through 2nd century CE), Tosefta supplement to Mishna (redacted 2nd century CE), halachic midrashim (redacted 3rd century CE), aggadic midrashim (redacted 4th century CE an STILL ongoing), Jerusalem Talmud (redacted 4th century CE), and Babylonian Talmud halacha debates and aggada (redacted 7th century CE) were ALL written and redacted by Jews in Southwest Asia, in the Canaan land of Israel, and in Babylonian land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religions have a book of theology \u2013 for example, the Christian Bible and the Muslim Quran. The entire sacred book supports the religious theology, by any means necessary! Whereas, Indigenous peoples have our endless ever developing writings that we cherish as sacred in our ethno-religious way. Outside of our belief in a Creator god that has vassaled our people to a specific area of land upon this planet Earth and the Creator\u2019s demands for our faithfulness to mitzvot\/halachot, Jews don\u2019t have a specific set theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival is the theme, survival of the people, for Jews. And our sacred writings expound upon everything from legal conversations and rulings, to legends about the rabbis, to midrash thoughts on Torah myths and history, to philosophical discussions about \u201cGod\u201d and inherent nature, to ethics for a just society, to scientific theories and astrological teachings, to folk remedies for diseases, to jokes, to plenty everyday tales about family, food, money, to the importance of study, to sex and relationships and, even, to fantastical miraculous events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know this, then you don\u2019t know who and what the Jewish people are. Worse, you stand against our Jewish hope for a \u201cmessianic\u201d age upon this planet Earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yosef ibn Yehuda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"From<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All that Israelis and Kurds (and Balochs and Assyrians and others) want is to live peacefully and securely decolonized and self- sovereigned upon our Southwest Asia Indigenous peoples\u2019 lands! This is all that we are asking the European and Arab Conquistadors of planet Earth \u2013 who have racistly and violently colonized peoples\u2019 lands for the ruling glory of their Colonial Christ, Allah and, now, Marx, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1948 successfully decolonized land of Israel is \u2013 LISTEN \u2013 3 times smaller than the Navajo Nation reservation in the United States of Colonial \u201cAmerica\u201d. The land of Israel is the SAME SIZE as the island of Taiwan, and the SAME SIZE as the State of New Jersey in the United States. The Indigenous nation of Israel is literally \u2013 physically, geographically \u2013 SMALLER than Lake Michigan in the United States of \u201cAmerica\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, 2.4 billion European-ish Christians and 1.9 billion Arabized Muslims demand that Israel\u2019s 9.3 million legal citizens (native Jews, Druze, Bedouin, \u201cArab\u201dized Israeli formerly-Indigenous citizens, Africans, and Europeans) share the land of Israel with 14.7 million non-citizen Arab \u201cPalestinian\u201d Colonial land-squatters \u2013 of which over 5.5 million still politically occupy the 1948 decolonized land of Israel to this very day \u2013 to DENY Israel\u2019s self-determining existence and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Israelis are NOT the only ones freedom fighting upon our people\u2019s SWANA land for decolonization and literally Indigenous people survival! The Arab Conquistadors \u2013 self-named \u201cPalestinians\u201d since 1964 \u2013 call the SWANA Indigenous Kurds \u201cSECOND ISRAEL\u201d, because of all of their freedom fighting for liberation from this European-Arab settler Colonialism upon Southwest Asia native lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a reason that Kurds are devoutly Zionist leaning! TRUE allies of the Jewish people of Canaan land of Israel. Iranians, Turks, and Colonial Syria\/Iraqi Arabs terrorize and oppress Kurds in THE SAME WAY that they terrorize Israelis (it is our IDF that prevents any further Colonial oppression!). The Jewish people of the Canaan land of Israel, historic Judea and Samaria, have never oppressed nor even murdered one single Kurd of Southwest Asia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this? If Arab \u201cPalestinians\u201d (Colonial Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and politically land-squatting \u201cPalestinians\u201d upon 1948 decolonized Israel) are so \u201cindigenous\u201d to our Southwest Asia Indigenous peoples\u2019 lands, then WHY do they attack our people \u2013 both Jews\/Israelis and Kurds?! Why do they rape our young women, enslave some of our women, decapitate our babies before our eyes, before murdering us for \u201callahu akbar\u201d in all their indoctrinated Colonial religious terrorism?!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve heard the racistly antisemitic Colonial Arab-European chant: \u201cFrom the river to the sea, [Colonial] Palestine will be free [of Jews, Israelis, Kurds]!\u201d We Native survivors of European and Arab settler Colonialism have this to say in this 21st century CE: We are the Indigenous \u2013 not you. And,\u2026 From the Tigris river to the Mediterranean sea, native Israelis and Kurds will be ONE DAY be decolonized, self-sovereign, and free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Biblical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSkeptics can see through the ruse, while the faithful continue to be deceived.\u201d This is why so many \u201creal\u201d Jews are \u201catheist\u201d, by modern Christian and Muslim Colonial religions\u2019 standards. And why many of these atheist Jews are either shomea halacha (listening) or shomer halacha (observant), wrestling with or faithful to the fulfilling of our Jewish ethno-religious ways and people\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Jews are so glad that we are not a religion! Not bound to an unavoidable \u201ctheology\u201d \u2013 other than wrestling with our indigenous people\u2019s laws, that were assigned to us by the god-King of the Canaan land of Israel, Y-HWH. Seriously, we Jews are thankful<\/em> that we are a native Southwest Asia Indigenous people, the last surviving still intact people of Canaan, and are free to question, debate, and understand<\/em> our wise ancestral elders\u2019 deliberate story telling \u201cruses\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Native people\u2019s resilience all around this planet Earth to embrace our stories and ways wholeheartedly as if<\/em> they are literally true as is. Even when knowing personally the lived history that inspired our latest stories \u2013 our sacred myths, that are written for future generations of our people to learn from. For peoples who are indigenous to a specific land, our stories that define us and challenge us are the foundation<\/em> to our survival through changing times. We understand that they are myths, based upon actual lived history, even while treating our Native stories as actual lived history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why some Indigenous peoples \u2013 like Jews, Yezidi, Anishinaabe, etc \u2013 simply cannot be successfully assimilated (aka, \u201ccolonized\u201d) by adherents to Colonial Christianity, Islam, and Marxism. We \u201csee through the ruse\u201d of absolutist theology and ideology. We know in our very bodies and minds that such is not our path! Many of us Native children are born<\/em> angry and defiant, at war with this European and Arab colonized world, because of the lived ancestral traumas that are both inherited memories and actual lived experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All surviving Indigenous peoples, planet Earth wide, thank our Creator (our land \u201cGod\u201d) that each generation of our people turn tragedy into stories for the generations to come to latch onto \u2013 to learn from, and to find a people\u2019s path forward that is still unassimilated. We Jews have never stopped writing to ensure this Y-HWH \u201cpromised\u201d destiny for our people! First, it was a whole lot of separate scrolls of self-understanding writings. Then, we began the long process of redacting our stories in the ways necessary to keep all<\/em> of our Jewish people together, self-identified in an ever changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It surely didn\u2019t stop here! Jewish people of Southwest Asia, the historic Judea and Samaria land of Israel, we have our Talmud, our Zohar, our numerous \u201cCommentary\u201d, and our every generation present<\/em> writings for the sake of the future of our Jewish people! We are the last surviving people of all the nation peoples of Canaan in Southwest Asia. We are the people of Israel, who are found in the northern half of present day Colonial Jordan AND \u201cfrom the river to the sea\u201d \u2013 regardless whether our people are in the land of Judea and Samaria or in the worldwide non-Jewish diasporas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, we have \u201cattribution\u201d in our Jewish writings in all three definition forms that is found in Miriam-Webster\u2019s dictionary: Ascribing a literary work to a particular author; ascribing quality, character, or right to someone; and\/or the interpretive process by which people make judgments about the causes of their own behavior and the behavior of others. In other words, in scholarly terms, the first definition is called \u201cpseudepigrapha\u201d, falsely-attributed works. Which is the subject of this Indigenous Jewish people\u2019s post, here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here is \u201cthe rub\u201d<\/em> between Jews and Christians and Muslims. If you\u2019re not a \u201creligion\u201d \u2013 an adherent to a religious writing that must be taken at face value as \u201caccurate\u201d and historically \u201ctrue\u201d, so as to not violate your religion\u2019s precious \u201ctheology\u201d \u2013 then you have no \u201cfaith\u201d to lose when you LEARN that actual history is different from your sacred books of mythical history. We Indigenous peoples still know our place upon our lands, and Colonizers must literally lie \u2013 to themselves and others \u2013 to claim these lands. We should probably shut up here, lest another \u201cFarhud\u201d or \u201cShoah\/Holocaust\u201d comes upon us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pseudepigrapha, this is what Colonizers and their successfully colonized, who have appropriated over time our Indigenous Peoples\u2019 writings, call our writings once<\/em> they have begun to dig into the archaeological dirt of our people\u2019s land. Or, learned enough of our Native languages to realize \u2013 at least scholarly \u2013 that we Native peoples have been \u201credacting\u201d our stories for the sake of our own survival as a people for numerous generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To some European, mostly, and some Arab Colonizers of our Judean people\u2019s land of Israel, \u201cpseudepigrapha\u201d means: \u201cThe ascription of false names of authors to Jewish literary works\u201d. To Jews \u2013 who are still the indigenous people of the land of Israel, regardless where worldwide upon this planet Earth, these are the \u201cteachings\u201d and stories \u201cof our fathers and mothers\u201d before us! We Jews so wish<\/em> desperately that the non-Jewish world around us would actually<\/em> listen to our voices, rather than colonize in our Jewish names<\/em> for their religious \u201ctheological\u201d benefit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is editing and writing in the guise of Moses, Solomon, or Daniel a legitimate literary convention, justified because of the author\u2019s inspired state? Or is this practice a form of deceit, even forgery?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides our inherent right to decolonized self-sovereignty upon our ancestral land of Israel, we Jews wrestle with the questions of how to explain ourselves and our \u201cIndigenous resistance\u201d in this 21st century CE\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why did Irenaeus, the northern Aegean gentile Church Father whose fear of details that challenge his developing Christian theology beliefs, consider the gnostic gospel of Jesus\u2019 childhood to be so \u201cirreligious and impious\u201d? Is it because this Infancy Gospel of Thomas shows Jesus\u2019 development from childhood to adulthood in a very human light? The very concept of this threatens the absolutist theology of \u201coriginal sin\u201d and a \u201csinless\u201d half-human half-god redeeming \u201csavior\u201d of individual human souls from this \u201coriginal sin\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The honorific history given to Jesus in the book of Matthew establishes him as a demigod \u2013 a product of a sexual union between Mary, his human mother that has no consenting choice, and a divine being who intends to use her womb for god imagined purposes. (At least the sexual relationship between demigod Samson\u2019s mother with his divine being father was mutually consensual, no manipulative divine goal behind it, to include with consent by Samson\u2019s stepdad!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, even while showing off Jesus\u2019 divine miracle skills as a child, the 2nd century CE Infancy Gospel of Thomas emphasizes the human nature that is within Jesus. And how Jesus has to learn to grow out of his bad\/evil traits into a human worthy of his demigod status in later adulthood. Yes, we\u2019re talking about Jesus the Jew of Nazareth, that followers of this not always so peaceful Pharisee teacher believed was potentially the messiah (the leader to overthrow \u201cthe Beast\u201d, the occupying Rome empire).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jews, we love our demigod stories \u2013 Noah, Isaac, Samson, Jesus, etc \u2013 for they teach us so much about our human selves. We understand that they are not to be worshipped, but to learn divine lessons from. This is why it is fascinating for us to learn that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYoung Jesus is prone to outbursts of anger and revenge\u201d, like when he was older (book of Matthew) and mature enough to righteously beat the crap out of merchants for defiling the Temple grounds with taxable Roman currency. That, as a child, \u201che curses other children who anger him\u201d, like he cursed the fig tree (book of Matthew) for not growing fruit out of season for his immediate nourishment, \u201cleaving them disabled or dead\u201d. That he \u201cafflicts neighbors with blindness, and also kills a teacher for reprimanding him\u201d, hence his desire for non-violent solutions as a proto-rabbi adult (again, book of Matthew).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, like in the Gospel of Matthew, the child \u201cJesus also resurrects people from the dead\u201d. Resurrection in the 2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE was understood by Jews to be a messianic related event. That all the fallen Jewish \u201cmartyrs\u201d under Roman occupation would reconstitute (revive) to finish their lives in Zion (the land of Israel) during the messianic age of liberation from all non-Jew occupations upon her. To this day, most Jews still believe in this form of resurrection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing posts such as this is not an act of hatred towards Christians. And,.. Not sharing posts such as this is simply a Jewish act of survival amongst Christians. Both are true, at the same time! This is why it is so important for both Jews in the European and Arab colonized diasporas and Jews upon our 1948 forcibly decolonized land of Israel to understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce society consumes enough false information, sprinkled in with a lot of manipulated half-truths, tailored specifically to have the world viewing Israel [the Jewish people] as the [historic reason for Christianized and Islamized social problems and as the present] aggressor to all conflicts, then any form of attack against Israelis becomes either \u201cfake\u201d, justified, or even encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are sincerely interested in building a better future than the one we\u2019ve inherited, we must be genuine in our approach, and able to condemn evil whenever, wherever, or to whoever it happens and, ultimately, understanding that the way to cease the deaths multiplying for both sides is by going to the source of the problem, which is NOT the existence of Israel [Jews] or Palestinians [Arab post-WW1 settler occupiers].\u201d \u2013 Rudy Rochman, [ours]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s tell the European and Arab Palestinians the truth!! And, ESPECIALLY, the Arab Palestinians upon SWANA Indigenous peoples\u2019 lands: Despite what you were raised to believe about yourselves, you Arab Palestinians are the Colonizers. And Israelis and Kurds are the Indigenous peoples of the land you call (Colonial) \u201cPalestine\u201d! The Jewish people\u2019s \u201cpromised land\u201d, our Canaan land of Israel, is not YOURS for the taking! Muslims, your \u201choly land\u201d is MECCA, in Arabia! Christians, your \u201choly land\u201d is ROME, in Europe! YOU DON\u2019T NEED JERUSALEM, in Zion, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colonial \u201cPalestine\u201d upon the Southwest Asia Indigenous peoples\u2019 lands of Israel and Kurdistan is no different than Colonial \u201cAmerica\u201d upon the continent of Michilimackinac (\u201cAmerican Indian\u201d lands)! Colonialism is colonialism. If you worship the Colonizer\u2019s god (Allah, Christ, Marx, whatever!), speak the Colonizer\u2019s language (Arabic, French, Spanish, English, etc!), and support the Colonizer\u2019s ruling dominionism and governments upon Indigenous peoples\u2019 lands, then YOU ARE A COLONIZER, regardless of your ancestry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moses Strikes the Rock: His Sin Depends on Your Worldview<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do miracles enhance faith? Rashi and Maimonides\u2019 diametrically opposed positions on this question lead them to very different explanations for Moses\u2019 sin. In between them is Ibn Ezra, who has a secret as to how miracles work and why Moses failed to perform his correctly. Avvat Nephesh, in the 14th century, rejects his predecessors\u2019 explanations, and instead critiques Moses and Aaron\u2019s passivity and lack of leadership; they waited for God to provide answers instead of taking initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
