Did you know?
Judaism is the *only* “World Religion” that is also an *endangered* ethno-religion of a minority indigenous people.
Also, did you know?
Indigenous People of *all* human colors still exist upon this earth. The binary brown versus white is a European invented “race” construct, borrowed by Arabs, with *no* validity in reality, being based originally within the founding teachings of the Christian religion.
Ask me questions, if you don’t understand.

Imagine: The Vice President of the United States visits a college campus and fields questions from the students. One student stands up and defiantly says, “I don’t understand why our country is favoring Black people in so many of its policies, when we know how terribly Black people abuse the welfare system.” In response, the Vice President smiles warmly and supportively replies, “I hear you. Your experience, your truth, is real, and should not be suppressed. Your truth must be heard, yes?” … But, is this the *truth*? Or, is this an outright *racist* lie?! That should have been called out as such, by historical correction of the supremacist narrative!
The student at George Mason University, who described herself as a Yemeni-Iranian, said to VP Kamala Harris that what Israel is doing is “an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people — the same that happened in America.” … But, is this actually true? Or, is it a racist lie? In *truth*, what is the actual reality for Arabs in Palestine today?
VP Kamala Harris demurred and validated these outrageous remarks by the student, stating “your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth should not be suppressed and it must be heard, right?” … Seriously, VP?!!!
This student’s socially privileged narrative as a full citizen of a Muslim supremacist nation should be heard over the suppressed, victimized, and *ethnically cleansed* Jewish minority within her ancestral nations? Many of whom now live in Israel because of anti-Jewish discrimination and violence within Muslim controlled nations?!
“As noted, it’s unthinkable that Harris would legitimize hateful comments about any other people or nation. If they had been racist against people of color or Islamophobic or homophobic they would have been shot down immediately without any political posturing.
Unfortunately, as in many arenas these days, there is one rule for “the Jews” or the Jewish state and one for all other peoples, races, religions and communities.” – James Sinkinson, President, Facts and Logic About the Middle East
Here is the *actual* reality of Palestine today:
Two million Arab citizens of Israel are free, thriving and multiplying. The population of four million Palestinian Arabs outside Israel, while ruled by oppressive dictators, also continues to multiply uninhibited. … Further, how many Yemeni Jews had to be evacuated and relocated by Israel from Yemen due to *actual* Muslim ethnic cleansing – do you know?! What about from other Arab nations? Do you know?!
I’m pretty sure that 15 million Jews in this world out of 1,900 million Muslim converts and 2,400 million Christian converts constitutes an endangered minority ethnic group. How about you? Especially, when half of us are located in one geographical spot of this world, on just a portion of our ancestral homeland.
Here’s what I sent directly to Vice President Kamala Harris:
Though I deeply doubt our VP will hear this message…. For who am I to reach out, but just a lowly citizen?
Might I encourage you, VP Harris, to have a correct worldwide perspective: I’m pretty sure that 15 million Jews in this entire world out of 1,900 million Muslim converts and 2,400 million Christian converts constitutes an endangered minority ethnic group.
How about you? Especially, when half of us are located in one geographical spot of this world, on just a portion of our ancestral homeland. … This is a perspective that we need to be making clear to the world’s narratives about Israel on a daily basis!
Please, racism is racism is racism. If black folk were accused of the historical atrocities that were committed upon this continent by white folk, would you have so quickly avoided correcting this supremacist narrative that black folk committed genocide upon this continent against white folk?
The nakba occurred because three Arab nations surrounding Palestine waged a ten month war against Israel, and lost. Further, you know darn well that Arab numbers in Palestine have increased proportionally to Jewish numbers.
Please, don’t play games with hate-tropes and revisionist histories! Be the leader we elected you to be!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty darn sure that 15 does not equal 1,900 nor 2,400! Yes?
… What, did I do a fly-by? Wait, wait, okay! …
Even if 15 million wanted to be the priestly example of living life righteously and ethically, how likely are 1,900 million and 2,400 million – that think they know, understand, and speak for the 15 million – how likely are these 4,300 million going to actually listen to the 15 million minority that is attempting to survive among them?
I’m pretty darn sure that 15 million Jews (near all of us born as Jews, whether religious or not) do not have a real influential voice among the 1,900 million Muslim converts nor among the 2,400 million Christian converts that are spread across this world – and that, both, obsess mightily over what they think about us Jews, what they think they know about our religion and, most directly, over their “end-times” expectations for our Jewish ancestral land with or without our consent.
It is because of the need to survive Christian and Islamic conquest and colonization that we Jews have the history that we now have since 1948. After all, 15 million Jews is 0.003 percent in the size – not even half a person in numerical size – placed side-by-side with the overwhelming number of the religiously converted around us.
Christianity and Islam are an effing success, as conquesting/colonizing religions go (note, they would prefer that I say “proselytizing” universal religions)! But, the price for absolutist beliefs is the death of all ethno-religions and ethno-nationalities upon this planet – who fully *accept* each other’s existence upon this planet. Assimilation into the religious empire and its brand of nationalism *IS* the goal of Christianity and Islam, full stop!
Hence, why Christians are dressing like us now, engaging in and distorting our religious rites, translating their Greek Christian Bible into Hebrew, and trying to pass themselves off as Jews – for two reasons: to convert what few of us remain in this world and, by doing so, to literally replace us. All because, 99 percent of Christians and Muslims have *no actual* understanding of who and what Jews are as an ethno-religious people!
Thus, we are still an endangered indigenous minority as Jews. History informs us daily on this, and in our blood is the passed along fear of yet another impending holocaust by absolutist theology-based convert religions – if we don’t speak up loudly!
#palestinelivesmatter and #PalestineWillBeFree as soon as the #Indigenous are allowed to live in peace on just a portion of our ancestral land. The West Bank and Gaza will be free, as soon as the two Colonial powers – Islam and Christianity – #BDS the corrupt and dictatorial PA and the Egyptian-born Hamas terrorist dictators!

Did you know that, like First Nations of the “American” continent, Jews are grouped into language tribes? Twelve plus one languages, to be specific, with their own unique minhagim (customs), cuisine, folklores, music, and halachot (community laws).
Yet, unlike First Nations, all Jews share between us a specific Levant language, Ivrit (Hebrew), from which all our Jewish languages have evolved. And, all Jews share a common ethno-religious commitment to the land of historic Israel and Zion (Jerusalem), our ANE literatures, fulfillment of yearly seasonal festivals that are based on argicultural harvests, the monthly new moon festival, and the weekly day of rest.
The thirteen Jewish languages are the following (starting with the four most spoken Jewish languages, and ending with the two not spoken or now extinct languages):
• Ivrit, spoken by Israeli-Palestinian Jews and Diaspora Jews worldwide (indigenous Israeli Hebrew)
• Yiddish, spoken by European Jews (Judeo-German)
• Ladino, spoken by Iberian Peninsula Jews (Judaeo-Spanish)
• Yahudic, spoken by Baghdad and Mosul Jews (Judeo-Iraqi-Arabic)
• Barzani, spoken by Iraqi Jews neighboring Kurds (Judaeo-Aramaic)
• Fārsi, spoken by Iranian, Afghani, and Central Asian Jews (Judeo-Persian, Judeo-Shirazi, Judeo-Hamadani, and Judeo-Kashani)
• Juhuri, spoken by Mountain Jews (Judeo-Tat)
• Bukhari, spoken by Bukharian Jews (Judeo-Tajik)
• Karaim, spoken by Karaite Jews
• Yevanic, spoken by Romaniote Jews of the Levant and Greece (Judeo-Greek)
• Italkian, spoken by Italian Jews (Judeo-Italian)
• Aravít Y’hudít, formerly spoken by the Jewish communities of the Middle East and North Africa (Classical Judeo-Arabic, not spoken)
• Tzarfatit, formerly spoken by French Jews (Judeo-French, extinct)
Many of these Jewish languages – except for Ivrit (Hebrew), Yiddish, Ladino, and Yahudic – are on the verge of going extinct in the next generation or two. Modernity has a way of making extinct the languages of surviving indigenous peoples. I will especially miss Barzani, Juhuri, Fārsi, and Yevanic as spoken Jewish languages.

Part 2 of language tribes …
Do you know that all 13 Jewish languages were formed on the same continent – within the Levant, Middle East, North Africa, West and Central Asia, and Europe? Just like all First Nation languages were formed on one continent – within Alaska, North “America,” and South “America.”
Further, do you know that First Nations on this continent, called “America” by colonizers, are the result of at least three ice age migrations to this continent? One was by landwalking, from Siberia to Alaska. One was from the Pacific Ocean by boat. And one was from the Atlantic, again by boat.
So, my question (?) is this:
If all Jewish language tribes were created by choice and by place upon a single continent *and* all First Nation language tribes were created by choice and by place upon a single continent, please tell me, “What is the difference?”?!
I hear a lot of bullshit from Colonizers and their Colonized every day about “Jews.” But, what I notice every day is this obvious fact: Whether it’s political or religious colonization, colonization produces the same results!
For example, when Europeans colonized and Christianized the continent that they call “America,” all who assimilated became part of the Colonizers. This includes the most known indigenous Colonized, Mexicans. Once indigeneity is lost, and you worship the Colonizer’s religion, speak the Colonizer’s language, and support the Colonizer’s way of life (at the expense of the remaining indigenous!), then you are a Colonizer, full stop!
Tell me, Indigenous Peoples, am I wrong?!
For example, when Arabs followed the example of Christianity and, with their newly created religion, Islam, went about and Colonized North Africa, the Middle East, and the Levant (places where Jews were *already* living in language tribe communities), all who assimilated became part of the Colonizers. This includes the most vocal indigenous Palestinians that call themselves Arabs and Muslims and call Jews outsiders (and “Nazis,” “Colonizers,” etc.), full stop.
Once indigeneity is lost, and you worship the Colonizer’s religion, speak the Colonizer’s language, and support the Colonizer’s way of life (at the expense of the remaining indigenous!), then you are a *Colonizer*, full stop!
Tell me, Indigenous Peoples, am I wrong?!

Whether it is Hawaiian, Dakota, or Jewish, there is a calendrical period of “recalibrating” – pressing the “reset button as far as society is concerned.”
For Hawaiians, this is every year. For Jews, this is every שמיטה shmita year, which literally means “release” (every seventh year). Land is returned to the families it was assigned. All debts yet not fully repaid are nullified. Social justice equality is restored among the people so that prosperity may occur for the future generations. Even the land itself must rest for a time, not attended to by human progress. For without the land, we are doomed!
“Honoring the bounty of the community! Ua hiki mai ka wā makahiki, he wā e ho’omaha ai i ke kino. (Makahiki season has arrived, it is the time to care for your body [and, for us Jews, for your land].) Let’s celebrate Makahiki by letting the ‘āina and our bodies rest to prepare for the upcoming year.”
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
