Jews are indigenous to Israel. That's a fact. Just because some of us, although not most of us, look white doesn't mean we are not indigenous. Do you know how close Israel is to Europe? Do you know how many Arabs look white too? Are you aware of genetics? Do you know that 58% of Israelis are not white? Do you know that Jews lived in Israel continuously for thousands of years? You cannot colonize your ancestral homeland. Stop forcing your own white narrative from other places in the world onto the Middle East. This land was not stolen. Every piece of land the Jews lived on prior to 1948 was legally bought. Then the Arabs started a war and most Arabs left at the encouragement of the Arab countries. Some were expelled from their homes but that's what happens in wars. Those were the minority of cases. The ones who stayed enjoy equal rights in Israel - much better than they would in any other Arab country. In contrast, ALL Arab countries expelled their Jews including my family from Egypt. 900,000 Jews left their homes in Arab countries and 700,000 Arabs left their homes in what became Israel. It's called a population exchange which is common all over the world in wars and happened around that time to many other people. But you only protest this one? Ask yourself why .

Unveiling the Plight: The Negative Impact of Seed Theft on Indigenous Communities

The theft of seeds from indigenous communities has far-reaching consequences, posing a grave threat to their cultural identity, food security, and sustainable practices. In this exploration, we shed light on the alarming repercussions of seed theft, underscoring the urgent need to address this issue. From the loss of traditional crops to the disruption of ecosystems and the erosion of indigenous rights, the impacts are both profound and multifaceted. Together, we must stand against seed theft and advocate for the preservation and empowerment of indigenous communities.

Effects of Seed Theft on Indigenous Communities:

Loss of Cultural Heritage: Seed theft undermines indigenous communities' ability to preserve their cultural practices and pass down traditional knowledge.

Threat to Food Security: The theft of indigenous seeds disrupts local food systems, reducing access to nutritious and culturally significant crops.

Erosion of Biodiversity: Seed theft contributes to the loss of diverse plant varieties, weakening ecosystems and diminishing resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

Disruption of Livelihoods: Indigenous farmers face economic hardships as their seed sovereignty is compromised, affecting their self-sustainability and economic independence.

Violation of Indigenous Rights: Seed theft infringes upon the rights of indigenous communities to control and protect their traditional seeds, exacerbating historical injustices.

Together, let us raise awareness about the negative impact of seed theft on indigenous communities and work towards promoting justice, preservation, and empowerment.

Indigenous Peoples Month / Here ,There And Everywhere .

Tribute to : Julia de Burgos,(February 17, 1914 – July 6, 1953) a Puerto Rico-born journalist and a pioneering force in the 1960s Nuyorican poetry movement in New York, who often wrote her poems in Spanish. In “Ay, Ay, Ay de la Grifa Negra,” which is presented in English in the anthology, she asserts her Black heritage: “Black of pure tint, I cry and laugh / the vibration of being a black statue.”

Ay, Ay, Ay of the Black Grifa

Ay, ay, ay, that am kinky-haired and pure black

kinks in my hair, Kafir in my lips;

and my flat nose Mozambiques.

Black of pure tint, I cry and laugh

the vibration of being a black statue;

a chunk of night, in which my white

teeth are lightning;

and to be a black vine

which entwines in the black

and curves the black nest in which the raven lies.

Black chunk of black in which I sculpt myself,

ay, ay, ay, my statue is all black.

They tell me that my grandfather was the slave

for whom the master paid thirty coins.

Ay, ay, ay, that the slave was my grandfather

is my sadness, is my sadness.

If he had been the master

it would be my shame:

that in men, as in nations,

if being the slave is having no rights

being the master is having no conscience.

Ay, ay, ay wash the sins of the white King

in forgiveness black Queen.

Ay, ay, ay, the race escapes me

and buzzes and flies toward the white race,

to sink in its clear water;

or perhaps the white will be shadowed in the black.

Ay, ay, ay my black race flees

and with the white runs to become bronzed;

to be one for the future,

fraternity of America!

Carrie and Mary Dann led a persistent fight against U.S. control of Western Shoshone lands, grounded in the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. Their legal challenges, resistance to grazing fees, and environmental activism marked them as pivotal figures in indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice.

Indigenous Empowerment: Address Inequality and Building a Bright Future

Imajica Agency: Indigenous Peoples - Australia

The actions of the current Australian Government, Federal, State, Local and their Agencies to undertake a positive outcome for the Indigenous People of Australia has serious implications of a zero result as from the history of the Australian Government’s and their Agencies with regards to the Indigenous People of Australia.

Despite efforts by various governments, Indigenous communities in Australia still face significant inequality and challenges. While some progress has been made in redressing past injustices, much more needs to be done to improve the livelihoods and opportunities of Indigenous Australians. One of the key issues is land rights. Indigenous communities have long been dispossessed of their land, and efforts to restore land rights have been slow and insufficient. Additionally, Indigenous people often face discrimination and marginalization in areas such as education, employment, and healthcare. The government needs to take concrete steps to address these issues and work closely with Indigenous leaders and communities to find solutions. Another area where progress is needed is in closing the gap in health outcomes. Indigenous Australians suffer from a range of health problems, including higher rates of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, as well as mental health issues. In order to achieve real change, the government must work in partnership with Indigenous communities to develop policies and programs that are culturally appropriate and responsive to their needs. At the same time, it is important to recognize the strengths and resilience of Indigenous communities. There are many Indigenous individuals and organizations doing important work to improve the lives of their people, and the wider community needs to support and celebrate these efforts. Overall, the government needs to do more to address the ongoing inequality and challenges faced by Indigenous Australians. Without sustained action and commitment to change, the zero result that has dogged previous efforts will likely persist into the future.

Embracing our roots and reaffirming our connection to our land.

From Jerusalem to the farthest corners of the globe, Jews have carried their identity with them. Today, as discussions on the Israel-Palestinian conflict continue to grow people apart, we delve into the question of indigeneity. Our historical and archaeological journey, spanning millennia, reveals the origins of Judaism in Judea, the land we now call Israel.

Displaced by conquests and dispersion, Jewish people were scattered across the world, leaving our mark in diverse lands from Europe to the Peruvian Amazon. Remarkably, even those who challenge our presence in Israel refer to us as Jews. Notably, even our adversaries like Hamas and Hezbollah acknowledge our right to identify as Jews, or in Arabic, "Yahud" ("Yehuda" meaning Judea).

As the evolving Indigenous rights movement invites nuanced perspectives, some may hesitate to consider us an Indigenous group, irrespective of our geographical history.

In this pivotal moment in history, Jews must reclaim our identity, recognizing ourselves not just as a religious group but as a nation rooted in Israel. This sentiment is what drives the vast majority of Jews worldwide to embrace Zionism and nurture a profound connection to our ancient homeland.

The Quandary of The Voice: When Noble Intentions Meet the Brick Wall of Constitutionality

Ah, The Voice, Australia’s much-vaunted proposal aimed at giving the country’s Indigenous people a say in the matters that affect them. Noble, isn’t it? Almost poetic in its aspirations. But if only aspirations were all it took to amend a constitution!## The Federation of Indissoluble DreamsLet’s start with the grand idea that Australia is a federation of ‘indissoluble’ states. “United we stand,”…

News from Australia, 20/21 July.

Senator Lidia Thorpe's Blak Sovereign Movement (BSM) has released her own pamphlet criticizing both the Yes and No campaigns in the upcoming referendum on the Voice to Parliament in Australia.

Do not be bullied by the Yes campaign and do not be intimidated by the racists. Do not let yourself be emotionally blackmailed. There are many good reasons to say No.

The BSM urges Australians to vote against the referendum, claiming that the Voice is "cheap window dressing" and a distraction from the real issues of truth-telling and recognition of Indigenous sovereignty.

The BSM argues that the Voice is powerless and would acquit the government of its continued crimes against Indigenous people.

They also criticize the government for ignoring other areas of reform and allowing worsening rates of suicide, incarceration, and out-of-home care for Indigenous children.

The BSM rejects the fear mongering from the No camp and claims that the proposed constitutional change is worded to ensure parliamentary supremacy and maintain the powerlessness of the Voice.

The BSM also criticizes the process that led to the Uluru Statement From the Heart, claiming it was top-down and did not represent the diverse views of First Nations communities.

2. The inaugural Ron Hurley Memorial Lecture, hosted by the Queensland College of Art, took place last night to honor the legacy of Ron Hurley, the first Aboriginal graduate of the Queensland College of Art and a respected figure in Indigenous communities.

The lecture featured a talk by prominent artist Gordon Hookey, who discussed both Ron Hurley's legacy and his own career, followed by a panel discussion led by Ron's daughter, Angelina Hurley, with emerging artists reflecting on the influence of those who came before them.

3. - Labor members have called on the Albanese government to withdraw from the AUKUS partnership, ahead of high-level talks between Australian and US ministers.

And, in a joint statement on Wednesday, Defence Minister Richard Marles and Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed they will meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
