Robert Orth \u2013 \u201cJewish Indigenous Rights Advocacy \u2013 JIRA, And what of the people who are descendants of the Canaanites? Do they not have an ancestral right to the land of Indigenous Jews, or is it just you?\u201d Here is what over 2 million Druze, Bedouins, and Arab citizens of Israel, who are just as Zionist about protecting Jewish sovereign independence as Jewish Israelis are, have to say along WITH our Jewish people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Indigenous<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The overwhelming majority of colonial \u201cPalestinians\u201d are NOT actual indigenous descendants of our Jewish people\u2019s land of Israel. They are from surrounding areas! For example,\u2026 The genetic Canaanite descendants of Lebanon are NOT indigenous to the Jewish part of the ancient Canaan peoples\u2019 lands. And even if they were genetically from eretz yisrael directly, genetics alone does NOT make you an Indigenous people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lebanese are colonized Christians and Muslims. They do not speak a Canaan indigenous language, like the Jewish people, and their ONLY connection to ancient Canaan is through the colonial religions of Christianity and Islam that have appropriated our Jewish people\u2019s sacred ancestral Canaan writings, ancestors, and history. This alone is NOT enough to claim indigenous status upon our Jewish people\u2019s land portion of greater Canaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll demonstrate what we mean here by using an analogy from the colonial \u201cAmerican\u201d continent across the seas, so that you better understand colonial Palestine that oppresses our SWA Indigenous peoples in our Southwest Asia region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mexicans are successfully colonized descendants of Native American peoples, but they are NOT Pueblo land indigenous. Mexicans have their own historic Native American indigenous land to live upon. So,\u2026 Why should Mexicans have the right to politically land-squat upon sovereign Pueblo Indigenous land to make false claims that, since they are Native Americans, the Pueblo people should be required to allow them to settler occupy Pueblo land?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palestinians speak colonial Arabic and are either colonized Christians or colonized Muslims. Their entire Palestinian worldview is a European-Arab colonial worldview that insists on forcing all Southwest Asian Indigenous peoples into submitted and, more preferably, assimilated social status! This is why Christians, Muslims, and Marxists so HATE our Jewish people\u2019s 1948 successfully forced DECOLONIZATION for Canaan Indigenous people\u2019s self-determining sovereignty upon Zion, our sacred ancestral Canaan land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jewish people are the very last still surviving and STILL unassimilated Canaan indigenous people. All the rest have been successfully colonized out of existence by the northern European Christian colonizers and the southern Arabian Muslim colonizers! Colonial Arabic is NOT a Southwest Asian Canaan indigenous language. No one in Southwest Asia spoke the Arabic language until Mohammed\u2019s Caliphates invaded to conquer Southwest Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say that the still present Indigenous people \u2013 the Jewish people, who have never been successfully fully ethnically cleansed from our Canaan land and are still Indigenously resisting assimilation 1,600 years after European and Arab settler colonialism \u2013 are choosing semantics and arbitrary criteria to justify our Canaan indigenous claim to the land of Israel is LITERALLY a racist act of engaging in Indigenous people erasure, full stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilful false equivalency between Indigenous peoples and Colonizers is how Christians, Muslims, and Marxists exert their COLONIAL control over all Indigenous peoples worldwide! Think very deeply about this, Western nations\u2019 socially privileged white saviors and social justice warriors. You could be spending your activism time supporting Indigenous peoples worldwide who are actively suffering under horrendous United Nations\u2019 funded and supported actual genocides!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, the Jewish people are NOT a religion! We are the very last still surviving and STILL unassimilated Canaan indigenous people, with an agrarian-based ethno-religion and Judea-orignating indigenous law system that defines our Jewish people of\/from Zion, our sacred ancestral Canaan land of Israel. Over 2 million Druze, Bedouins, and Arab citizens of Israel, who are just as Zionist about protecting Jewish sovereign independence as we Jewish Israelis, will tell you the very same thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only people who have been and STILL are committing pay-for-slay terrorisms and rapey depraved genocides upon Gazans and Israelis are the United Nations\u2019 funded and supported PLO\/HAMAS occupiers who are politically land-squatting upon our 1948 forcibly decolonized Indigenous nation of Israel to end the Jewish people\u2019s self-determining sovereignty. Even the Gazan native tribes have been fighting with our IDF to bring an END to Islamic HAMAS terrorist rule. Easily verifiable historical facts really do matter, folks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shared snapshot is of a chapter in the book \u201cIsrael on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law\u201d that was written by United States District Judge Roy K. Altman to bring well established legal rigor to the world\u2019s most contentious debate. Applying courtroom-tested standards \u2013 burden of proof, corroboration, chain of custody \u2013 he examines claims of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide with dispassionate precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Peter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeter Beinart, as you well know, there are quite a few [non-Jew] segments of Israeli society that are not Palestinian [though constantly referred to outside of Israel as \u201cPalestinians\u201d]. The Druze will not call themselves Palestinian, the Bedouins do not often times call themselves Palestinians, the Circassians often times don\u2019t call themselves Palestinians, and onwards and onwards\u201d \u2013 Ariel Beery, Israeli liberal activist and author of \u201cBeing Israeli After the Destruction of Gaza\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The REASON for this is that these Druze, Bedouins, Circassians, etc, etc non-Jews are NOT Palestinians, rather they are the native populations of Southwest Asia that are citizens of our Jewish people\u2019s 1948 forcibly decolonised and re-sovereigned Indigenous nation-State of Israel. It is racistly anti-Indigenous to label them as being part of the Arab politically land-squatting non-citizens in the colonial Palestinian occupied territories (Gaza and what non-Israelis call the \u201cWest Bank\u201d of colonial Jordan \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf4)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Peter Beinart reached out to interview me about my new book,\u2026 what I learned from the interview is that Peter Beinart just doesn\u2019t care about Israeli Jews. Whether they live or die, survive or thrive, is not really discussed in his book [\u201cBeing Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza\u201d, in which he completely omits the Israeli Jewish experience]. Our experiences leading up to Oct 7th and those after are besides the point. They get in the way of his narrative, so must be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeter Beinart does not want to complicate his narrative of the conflict because it serves him well to frame it as a Manichean battle between good and evil. Black and white chess pieces on a board. Doing so makes it easier for him, I can only assume, to confirm his place on the side of the \u2018good\u2019 and thereby maintain the grace of his American progressive peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understood this because Beinart did not ask me one question about the Israeli experience that my book is devoted to. No question about the individuals whose stories make up the eleven chapters exploring the liberal, democratic Jewish experience in Israel\u2026. To Peter Beinart, Israelis don\u2019t matter. Their beings are not of concern, their reckonings are rejected, their politics and perceptions are ignored in favor of Beinart\u2019s analysis from his perch on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis incredible omission taught me two things: first, that Peter Beinart does not believe in liberal democracy. Because a belief in liberal democracy \u2013 the belief that all human beings are created equal and therefore should have a voice in their political reality \u2013 would require him to engage with the very people who would need to agree to the political reality he would like created in the region\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWere he to believe in the egalitarian state he advocates for in place of the State of Israel, he would need to contend with the fact that the Jewish desire for self-determination is based on thousands of years of living as second-class citizens in all the countries of their dispersal. Jewish citizens \u2013 especially the more than majority whose roots are in Muslim lands \u2013 will fight to ensure that dhimmitude does not happen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is relevant because of the counter-desire of the Islamists leading the [colonial] Palestinian movement who are motivated by more than a thousand years of Arab imperialism to impose their will on the residents of the Land. And all that is without bringing up Christian interests in the Holy Land, which few seem to remember when they hear \u2018anti-War\u2019 messages from the Pope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTherein is the contradiction in Beinart\u2019s advocacy: he claims to want to create a liberal democracy in the region while disregarding the fundamental actors that make liberal democracy possible: the people. Beinart is itching to take up the role of the benevolent dictator, willing to impose his views on people an ocean away, because he believes the world will be better for it. He may call himself a progressive, but we have an older word for that urge: imperialism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
