The use of "native" here instead of "indigenous" is certainly a choice

This July 4th, we contemplate parallels between the colonization of Turtle Island (“North America”) and Palestine. Supporting Palestinians’ right to return and right to self-determination in their homeland goes hand in hand with supporting Indigenous people’s demand for #LandBack 🧵

Like "indigenous" is sometimes understood to apply only in a settler-colonial lens. But "native" is broader than that, and there is frankly no reasonable interpretation of "native" under which Jews are not native to the Land. The two terms just happen to align fully in the US

That people shout “decolonize now!” sitting in the US and Canada and are unwilling to recognize the difference between British/French/Spanish “settlement” in NA and elsewhere and the return of Jews to the only place they had political autonomy makes me nuts. You can recognize

The quotes around "North America" are already pretty ridiculous, but using that term and then showing a map of continental US is the cherry on top. Like Canada, Mexico or the Carribeans were never colonised…

Also the whole "Turtle Island" thing is incredibly cringe considering it only refers to the Haudenosaunee and Lenape creation myths and was never used by the vast majority of indigenous Americans

I can't be the only one who finds it odd that JVP is acting like there were no Jews in what is now Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Jews always have had a presence there. Granted, the numbers weren't what they are now, but Jewish communities still existed.

The meaning of “indigenous” has been eroded to the point where I’ve heard people straight up say it means “people I like and agree with”

TIL “natives” had already claimed the entirety of the continental US in the year 1492. It’s weird that they stopped at the modern day borders.

It is deliberately misleading, as you know, JVP is horrible.

I had a great conversation with a friend who I met at Independent Jewish Voices (the Canadian version of JVP) in the fall and bringing to the dark 🟣 side, abd we're discussing how much is missing from the convo is the sharedness of privilege/oppressed, settler/refugee

Let’s remember who runs JVP. The ultimate “as a Jew” cosplayer & fundraiser for Hamas

Your quibbling about terminology instead of recognizing clear historical patterns is also a choice. Your choice happens to be terrible.

You people are extremely racist towards central asians and eastern europeans tho, imagine throwing tantrums about the possibility of being related to them, as if their blood is dirty and a sin to have flowing in your veins.

This isn't a condemnation of JVP. They're entitled to their opinions regarding Zionism but I feel like they're misrepresenting history.

Are they like Jews for jesus?

Putting this aside, I’m still shocked at the fact that the majority of Native Americans were wiped out by plagues the Europeans brought with them. It certainly would have been a totally different picture if the Natives had plagued of their own, but they didn’t.

They used the word indigenous

Based on how early this timeline goes and the inclusion of the coastal region, they think even just moving somewhere non violently while being an ashkenazi jew is inherently wrong

Indigenous like the canaanites and the amelekites

Indigenous is a joke. Native is too. Mere tools to support a political stance. A stance that is all blood and soil.
