No amount of colonial Arab and European history revisionisms about Southwest Asia Native peoples changes our lived and easily verifiable historical facts! To call SWA Indigenous peoples\u2019 lived history \u201cahistorical\u201d and to call the Arab and European \u201cPalestinian\u201d colonists\u2019 \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 lies about history somehow \u201cfacts\u201d, this is the very definition of a crime against Indigenous humanity worldwide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapshot \u2013 But SOMEHOW the native language speakers \ud83e\udeac\ud83d\udd4e\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf1 became the \u201cwhite colonisers\u201d and the Arab colonisers \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 became the \u201cindigenous\u201d people \u2013 for having colonised WITH the British \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 and French \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 during WW1. PLEASE help us SWA Native peoples \ud83e\udeac\u2600\ufe0f\ud83d\udd4e\ud83d\udd25\ud83c\udf3f, make rational sense of this \u270a\ud83c\udffc\ud83d\ude21!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Native
Not only should the meme say \u201cCanaanite\u201d (not \u201cPhoenician\u201d) but it has a non-native colonial flag (the flag of \u201cLebanon\u201d) to represent Canaan peoples\u2019 languages. The ONLY still surviving native people of Canaan is the Jewish people of Israel!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

COLONIAL established lies \u2013 LIE One: \u201cHebrew was a dead language that was revived in modern times.\u201d WRONG!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrew was NEVER a dead language, because the Jews have NEVER been a dead people. Jews have been speaking our Canaanite Hebrew language for 3,300 years straight, and STILL counting! An Indigenous people\u2019s worldview is INFORMED by our native language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is just a short list of the ways we Jews have preserved the LIVING status of our Canaanite Hebrew language and of our Jewish people in doing so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiberian Hebrew was used by Masoretic scholars living in the Jewish community of Tiberias in colonial Palestine, 750\u2013950 CE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mizrahi Hebrew, Yemenite Hebrew, Sephardi Hebrew, and Ashkenazi Hebrew was spoken as a \u201cliturgical\u201d LIVING language of our ancestors by which to teach our children our Canaan native Jewish people\u2019s ways. NOTE, if the other Canaan peoples had survived with us Jews, we would be able \u2013 to this VERY DAY \u2013 to speak with them through Yemeni Hebrew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mishnaic Hebrew has been spoken by Jews in liturgical, rabbinical, and legal matters since the creation of the Jewish Talmuds of Galilee and Babylonia. These are Canaan Hebrew dialects based upon Aramaic predominance across Southwest Asia during the Greco-Roman occupation period upon our Jewish people\u2019s Canaan land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medieval Hebrew was derived by Jews living in the European and Arab \u2013 the Christian and Muslim COLONISATION period \u2013 diaspora lands. The plethora of Jewish Hebrew writings ranged widely \u2013 liturgical, poetical, rabbinical, scientific, and literary \u2013 all of it based in \u201cBiblical Hebrew\u201d, Mishnah, and new words and expressions created by JEWISH translators and commentators of our STILL surviving Canaanite Hebrew language!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haskalah Hebrew is the scientific, literary, and journalistic language of the Jewish people that is based in \u201cBiblical Hebrew\u201d that is enriched with new words and expressions created by JEWISH writers and journalists. IT IS THIS CONTINUITY in the use of our Jewish people\u2019s sacred ancestral CANAAN HEBREW language that allowed us to so easily and successfully revive Canaanite Hebrew to today\u2019s Modern Hebrew \u2013 that is spoken by millions of Jews worldwide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, let\u2019s NOT forget, our brother and sister Jews who don\u2019t call themselves \u201cJews\u201d\u2026. Samaritan Hebrew, like Yemenite Hebrew, has been kept a living language version of our Canaan people\u2019s Hebrew by the Samaritans, primarily for liturgical purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The northern Canaanite people\u2019s languages that European and Arab settler Colonists designate in MODERN times as the \u201cPhoenician\u201d and \u201cPunic\u201d languages are indeed actual DEAD languages, just like Moabite, Edomite, Ammonite, and etc languages of ancient Canaan. ONLY the Jewish people\u2019s sacred indigenous Canaan Hebrew language has survived as a LIVING language!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colonial established LIE Two: \u201cHebrew is derived from the Phoenician language.\u201d WRONG!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an attempt by the antisemites of the academic world \u2013 and their successfully colonized \u2013 to render Jews as \u201cnot really a Canaan people\u201d, but inheritors of Canaanite-ism. Just like with the Amon, Edom, Moab, and \u201cPhoenician\u201d peoples of Canaan, the Hebrew alef bet is derived from our Jewish people\u2019s Canaan ancestor\u2019s proto-Canaanite language. Our various nations\u2019 Canaan languages were mutually intelligible, and Jews are the last surviving STILL intact and unassimilated nation people of Canaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Phoenicia is an ancient Greek exonym that did not correspond precisely to a cohesive culture or society as it would have been understood natively by our various Canaan peoples. Therefore, the division between our Canaanite peoples and the IDEALIZED uniqueness of a Phoenician people around 1200 BC is regarded as a modern and artificial construct.[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple reality is that ALL distinct Canaan nations derived from our pro-Canaanite ancestors, which INCLUDES the Jewish people of\/from our Canaan land of Israel \u2013 which we call Zion!!! Our Jewish people\u2019s Torah, our sacred ancestral writings, allude clearly to this, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cCanaanites\u201d of Torah are the coastal Canaan people that we Hebrews (the Jews) pushed northward, when we established the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Because of the ancient Greek exonym \u201cPhoenician\u201d, these northern Canaanites are treated as having been around before the rest of our Canaan peoples. This is an ANTISEMITIC modern Colonial lie to separate the Jewish people from our Canaan land of Judah-Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All we SWA Indigenous peoples \u2013 Jews, Druze, Bedouins, Kurds, Alawites, etc \u2013 are trying to do is unite the world\u2019s \ud83c\udf0d\ud83c\udf0e still surviving Indigenous peoples together in dialogue for understanding \u2013 for the sake of mutually working together on worldwide decolonisation.
