#I recommend it for everyone indigenous or not 🙏🏽

I just want you guys to remember that the reason why some “progressive” Zionists now identify as indigenous to Israel is that they are trying to de-legitimatize Palestinian claims of settler colonialism because, according to them, “you can’t colonize a place you’re indigenous to”. No Zionist identified with being Indigenous prior to like 2014, they very openly identified with colonial powers (they still do), and additionally they have no idea what indigenous means. Calling Israel a “successful landback movement” is outrageous.

Ziggy has videos on Tiktok that explain everything that’s wrong with this rhetoric I’ll leave them here (in order) : Video 1, video 2, video 3

Also watch Notorious Kasamang Anna video on indigeniety and settler colonialism because they explain the entire definition of both (and also elaborate more on how Zionism has never been an indigenous rights movement): https://youtu.be/9H99j6wdxDI

#honestly watching these conversations as someone who’s both Palestinian & native is just. #it melts my brain #anti zionisim #I started learning about indigeniety and what it actually meant in like 2021 and it kinda reshaped how I view everything #including myself #I recommend it for everyone indigenous or not 🙏🏽 #Youtube
