How did the Jewish sudra become the “Palestinian” keffiyeh? When, where, and why? Do you know?! Or, do you just *think* that you know, courtesy of 58 years of KGB-PLO political terrorism propaganda, that’s been spread very effectively throughout the Arab-European colonized social world? A punishment for the Jewish people’s forcible reestablishment of the nation of Israel under Jewish self-sovereignty. To get the answers to these questions requires stepping back into the 19th century CE.

During the Ottoman empire, the region that has been known as “Palestine” to Arab and European outsiders – the non-indigenous – since Roman occupation, was occupied by both Jews Indigenous to Judea-Samaria and Arab settlers from previous Arab Caliphate conquests of the land of Israel. This is the period in which Arab settlers in Judea-Samaria never tried to appropriate the land of Israel for national sovereignty (like all occupational periods before, whether Arab or European), and these Arab settlers wore the Jewish sudra *because* it is the headdress-wear of Judea-Samaria. They knew fully well that it is both climatic Jewish dress wear and *sacred* Jewish dress wear, both at the same time.

The sudra/keffiyeh of “Palestine” only revealed in Ottoman and earlier periods that the wearers were rural people of the region – either Jewish Indigenous or Arab settlers upon the land of Israel. So what happened to change the Arab mindset on Judea-Samaria? During the 1880’s, Jews Indigenous to Judea-Samaria and Jews returning from Middle East and European Diasporas engaged in Zionism, a return to agricultural and waters sovereignty, by restoring over 600 acres of desert land to productive farm land and by draining the malaria filled swamps. This Jewish productivity caused a mass migration of Arabs from Egypt and other Middle Eastern lands that were suffering from drought or war into Judea-Samaria between the 1920’s through 1940’s – courtesy of the British, French, Arabian re-conquest of the Levant and Southwest Asia.

The first Arab keffiyeh *appropriation* of our local Jewish sudra headdress as *Arab* wear began in Judea-Samaria in the 1930’s, and this Arab appropriation of Indigenous Judean dress wear was done as a symbol of Arab “nationalism” during the “Palestine” Arab Revolt of the 1930’s. Again, to give credit where credit is due, courtesy of the duplicitous British occupiers of Judea-Samaria, who had already given a third of the land of Israel to the Arabian Hashemite family, as a reward for helping to re-colonize the Levant for Allah-Christ and caliphates-kings. You might have heard of it, they called this new Arab nation “Transjordan” (now “Jordan,” today), which was invented by the Colonial Arabs-Europeans on 11 April 1921.

Colonizers of Indigenous Peoples’ lands always support and reward fellow Colonizers of Indigenous Peoples’ lands, and then fight each other for further political gain. So, of course, this metastasized further, as all Colonial interests do!

The black and white sudra of the 1930’s now became an Arab specific “keffiyeh” among Arab settlers, and a growing symbol of Arab revolt against the British for the *national rule* of the land of Israel – as a sovereign Arab nation upon all of “Palestine,” the land of Judea-Samaria. This allowed for armed Arab *rebels* to use the “Palestine” keffiyeh as an accoutrement that was used to blend in with local Arabs when they entered the cities of Judea-Samaria. Nevermind the thoughts, feelings, and desires of Jews Indigenous to Judea-Samaria, which neither the British nor the Arabs considered worthy of real opinion! This appropriation of Jewish culture and land for the purpose of colonizing is what brought into existence our Jewish underground militaries – the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi Jewish freedom fighters, all armed with smuggled in weapons – that battled with the British and Arab occupiers for the freedom of Israel!

Now, how did this go? The Jewish battle for Indigenous Judean independence and self-sovereignty upon the land of Israel was a success, despite the physical body numbers disadvantage. Though outnumbered by 20 British and Arabs to every 1 Jewish freedom fighter, the Jewish people managed to so “terrorize” the European-Arab Colonial effort that the British deemed it financially and politically too costly to continue occupying the land of Israel and withdrew their military occupation force. Thus, all of Judea-Samaria was decolonized by the Jewish people, and we reestablished our Indigenous nation’s sovereignty – for the fourth historical time – in 1948. Yes, we were (and are still!) that resolute to beat incredible odds levied against us!

So what happened next? Three surrounding Arab nations with five Arab armies laid a 10 month siege upon the decolonized land of Israel *the very next day* after our declared Independence. The Europeans, who had now retreated, sat back and watched (and *not* surprisingly)! And, even through this Arab created “nakba” period, the outnumbered Jewish people – born from the Levant soil – still won continued Independence upon our ancestral land! We only lost Gaza to the Egyptians and the part of Judea-Samaria that the Jordanians would name the “West Bank” during their 18+ year occupation of the land of Israel.

Yes, we *exist to resist* as a Jewish people! Our ancient covenant with the land’s god-King demands this of our Judean people. And we will continue to defend the land of Israel from all Colonial occupiers who seek to conquer her!

Now, here enters the USSR’s KGB to establish a Colonial “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” terrorist organization (aka, PLO, Fatah – which later evolved into the PA and Hamas) upon the Jordanian occupied “West Bank.” To achieve their Marxist long-term goals, the USSR recruited Arabs to Marxist doctrine in the 1960’s. The KGB trained them in false history indoctrination tactics to be exact! Both Egyptian born terrorist Yasser Arafat and Bethlehem born Mahmoud Abbass were recruited and trained in Moscow for the leadership roles of the USSR’s 1964 created “Palestinian people” long-term settler-occupation force upon the stolen portions of our 1948 decolonized land of Israel (what of it that we could decolonize upon). And, *this* is where Yasser Arafat’s and Leila Khaled’s wearing of the Jewish sudra, now declared as a “Palestinian people” keffiyeh, comes into the historical picture. Nevermind that Yasser Arafat wore our Jewish sudra like an Egyptian!

The rest of the Arab-European Colonial history of “Palestine,” that most in this world have been taught, is the Arab-European alliance’s *revisionist* history: the idea of Jewish non-indigeneity to Judea-Samaria and deliberate erasure of MENA Jews and our Zionism from the history of “Palestine” the region (aka, the Jewish Levant), and of gaslighting both the Arab and European colonized worlds that Judea-Samaria is actually “Arab” “indigenous” land and that Jews are somehow, now, all “from Europe,” rather than the Canaanite Hebrew speaking people of the Canaan Levant from which we became an Indigenous People (the native population who have never been fully expelled from our land at any point in history)!

Thankfully, we Jews *exist to resist*! Yes, our existence *is* our resistance. Our hearts long for the redemption of Tziyon – “Zion” the Judean-Samarian land and Jerusalem, specifically, which is under Arab Muslim imposed Temple Mount Apartheid. Yes, you heard me correctly. *Jews are not allowed upon our most sacred land area that has the mark of Arab supremacy sitting upon it, the Muslim al-Aqsa “Mount Rushmore” Mosque*, courtesy of the protection of the United Arab-European Colonial Nations – who insist upon this, because Colonizers can never be wrong! So, we are well used to modern laugh emojis over our telling the entire world the historical facts of the Levant. Your racism, erasure, and appropriations do not change *our* lived reality and attachment to our ancestral land! We, the Jewish people, will continue to survive you, full stop.

The United Arab-European Colonial Nations (the UN) do not ultimately decide for the still surviving Indigenous Nations upon this planet. Your Colonial occupations for Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-capitalism-communism is coming to an *end* in this world, courtesy of we Indigenous Peoples of planet Earth. Mark our words on this! The Jewish people are only the *first* to decolonize from racist Arab-European Colonialism. May we see others in our lifetime!

————-

Easily verifiable historical facts really do matter, folks! We Indigenous Peoples of this world know *both* the historical facts and the Colonial Arab-European history revisions – of course, meant to justify and bless the Colonizer for colonizing and appropriating. In other words, we know Indigenous and Colonial histories just like we know our Indigenous language and your Colonial language for Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-communism. We don’t wonder why Colonial Arabs and Europeans target us for their social problems, we *know* why. Christians, Muslims, and Marxists (Arabs and Europeans) – we the Jewish people, the people of Israel, resolutely say to you:

You will not divide us! You will not defeat us! You will not assimilate us! And, most importantly,… You will *not* replace us! Though we are the most targeted and victimized Indigenous minority in this entire world, “Am Yisrael Chai”! The Jewish people – the people of Israel – will survive you! We will remain attached to our Judean land! We will continue to speak and write in our Canaanite Hebrew! And, most importantly,… We have the inherent right to *exist* as an Indigenous nation, a Covenanted people, the people of YHWH – no matter how many spiteful lies you spread about us, no matter how much terrorism you inflict upon us, and no matter how many genocides that you attempt upon us – just for being born Jewish! By our land’s Covenant, we will always be anti-Colonial in nature and in our Indigenous heart! We are the people of Tziyon – “Zion” – and we will live by our Judean halachot – even in your presence!

Anyone can be a Colonizer of other people’s lands – whether Christian, Muslim, Marxist, or Secular. Even Jew’canos (Colonial assimilated Jews) can be sold supporters of Colonialism but, thankfully, there are so *few* of them among us. And those pretending to be Jews, but are not, you are Colonizers (appropriators of Judean culture and identity!), full stop. Yet, the reverse is *not* true! Only Jews get to be Jews. And this is *not* racism towards Arabs and Europeans for saying this! This is *survival* for an Indigenous people. Are the Kurdish, Assyrian, Druze, Sámi, San, Pueblo, Navajo, Lakota, Māori, Lāhui, Cree, etc peoples also “fascists” and “Nazis” for protecting their cultural identity from being diluted? Or is this racist trope saved just for the Jewish people?

When you refuse to believe in widespread lies, when you insist on keeping alive and sharing the demonstrable historical truths – as the Jewish people do – this makes those brought up in Colonial Arab-European revisionist history very uncomfortable! And, add to this, that you refuse to relinquish your devotion and obligations to the land of your Indigenous ancestors, and to the offspring brothers and sisters still alive today in the Diasporas? This exposure of their Colonial lies leads to:

Antisemitism, demonization, social segregation, history erasure (except for hateful caricatures kept alive), beatings, rapes, murders, anti-laws, and repeated calls and attempts to genocidal behavior towards Indigenous and vulnerable minority peoples! Colonialism must never be to blame, so blame the Jews, Kurds, Blacks, “Native Americans,” “homosexuals,” etc (etc, etc!) for the fears and problems of Colonial Arab-European societies. How dare we minorities speak out and call to account the “impunity” that you have privileged for yourselves in your Colonial Arab-European-Communist ways?!

There is no equivalency between the Jewish people and Colonial Christians, Muslims, and Marxists! This “double standard” of Jews as victims of Colonial aggressions and perpetrators of oppressive violence towards those who seek to occupy, oppress, and annihilate us is a racist trope to victimize us further! This obsession over our land, the land of Israel (Judea, Samaria, and the northern half of Jordan), by Arab Muslims and European-ish Christians is all about this:

Our sacred words on paper that teach that we, the Jewish people of Israel, will survive to the day that other nations drop their weapons, acknowledge our right to exist as a distinct people, and travel to the Temple Mount to bow before *our* land’s god-King. Not to a cross, not to a rock in Mecca, do that in your nations – but faces down before Zion (Jerusalem) in Israel! You do *not* need to replace us, nor to even be us, for this day/generation/millennia of worldwide peace to occur. Just drop the hate and weapons, and bow with us before the palace of YHWH! You do not need to “believe” or have “faith,” either. Jewish mitzvot does not even demand this of Jews! Come as you are, as you were born into – and do it peacefully, with courtesy and social justice in mind.

Not with our ancestors, but with us…

“לֹא אֶת אֲבֹתֵינוּ כָּרַת יְהוָה אֶת הַבְּרִית הַזֹּאת כִּי אִתָּנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ אֵלֶּה פֹה הַיּוֹם
כֻּלָּנוּ חַיִּים

Not with our fathers did YHWH cut this covenant, but with us – yes, us – those here today (in Moab), all of us living!” – D’varim 5:3

We became a People in Moab…

“אֵלֶּה דִבְרֵי הַבְּרִית אֲ‍שֶׁר צִוָּה יְ-הוָה אֶת מֹשֶׁה לִכְרֹת אֶת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּאֶרֶץ מוֹאָב

These are the terms of the covenant YHWH commanded Moshe to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab.” – D’varim 28:68

We have a continuous history in the land! From the Mesha Stele (Misha Stone), Misha was King of Moab in the 9th century B.C.E…

And the men of Gad lived in the land of Ataroth from ancient times, and the king of Israel built Ataroth for himself, and I fought against the city, and I captured, and I killed all the people from the city as a sacrifice for Kemoš and for Moab, and I brought back the fire-hearth of his Uncle from there, and I hauled it before the face of Kemoš in Kerioth, and I made the men of Sharon live there, as well as the men of Maharith.
And Kemoš said to me: “Go, take Nebo from Israel!” And I went in the night, and I fought against it from the break of dawn until noon, and I took it, and I killed its whole population, seven thousand male citizens and aliens, female citizens and aliens, and servant girls; for I had put it to the ban of Aštar Kemoš. And from there, I took the vessels of YHWH, and I hauled them before the face of Kemoš.
And the king of Israel had built Jahaz, and he stayed there during his campaigns against me, and Kemoš drove him away before my face, and I took two hundred men from Moab, all its division, and I led it up to Jahaz. And I have taken it in order to add it to Dibon.”

When and where did the Jewish people of Israel – one of several tribes of Canaan, and the *last* surviving tribe – become the people of Israel? “*Today*” in Moab (12th century BCE). – “That sense of klal Yisrael [at our Indigenous founding in Moab], so sadly lacking in the current historical environment, is at the very heart of the text of Devarim, especially in the beginning of our parashah, which describes the attentive crowd listening to Moses as one that includes elders and officials, women and children, foreigners and menial laborers (29:9-10). Such a gathering is portrayed again at the other end of biblical literature, in Nehemiah 8, with its audience of “men, women, and all those who could understand”….”

Okay, you say that “Palestinian” Arabs or, at least, Arabs, are “indigenous” to Judea-Samaria, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria, yes? Maybe, some Europeans, too? Let’s test this indigeneity, shall we? This should be very easy, if you are *indeed* Indigenous to the region! Here are my questions:

What language did all the tribes of Canaan speak, read, and write? How many tribes of Canaan were there, and what were their names? Which tribe is the last surviving tribe on planet Earth that is still speaking, reading, and writing in the Canaanite language? What was the name of the Canaanite pantheon of gods and goddesses? How many of the Canaanite names show up in your sacred literatures? And name them, please! How many of the 613 mitzvot (indigenous Judean-Samarian laws) are you required to wrestle with on a daily basis on how to observe these laws? How many of these 613 mitzvot require your physical presence upon Judea-Samaria in order to observe them?

Here, I’ll make this easy for you. Do you speak, read, and write in Colonial Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Dutch, etc? Do you study from a sacred text that appropriated from Indigenous Judean ancestral literatures as a foundation for your universal Colonial religious “theology”? Do you glorify Muhammad or Christ (or, now, Marx), rather than chanting your obligations to YHWH, YHWH’s land of Israel, and YHWH’s people in Canaanite Hebrew? Do you turn your back on Jerusalem to worship a god in Mecca or on a cross? Do you have the ruins of a Crusader’s church or an Islamic mosque sitting on top of our Indigenous Judean temple mount? If so, *seriously*, how Indigenous are you to the land of Israel – which is East side and West side of the Jordan river?!!

Don’t worry, my Christian and Muslim and Marxist friends! I love you for who you are, even despite your historic anti-Indigenous atrocities and attempts at replacement of our Indigenous Peoples around this planet. In other words, despite your anti-Indigenous supremacist systemic racism upon our planet Earth! And despite your repeatedly determined settler-occupations to own and rule *other* peoples’ lands for your cherished gods and theology. We, the Indigenous Peoples – Jews, Kurds, San, Sámi, Pueblo, Navajo, Lakota, Māori, Lāhui, etc (etc, etc) – just need you to stop trying to be us! And in doing so, speaking *for* us, finding “good” *Indigenous* to speak *for* us, demonizing us, beaten us up and murdering us, politically and physically terrorizing us – in your supremacy to erase us and vilify us and, if this doesn’t work, to turn us into a miniature clone of you all (socially, politically, and nationally) in the righteous name of your Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-capitalism-communism!

We Indigenous Peoples of this world are only asking to have a right to exist – in peace, safety, and prosperity, under self-sovereignty and self-determination – in this modern already conquered world. We don’t want nor need to be you, especially in government, language, religion, and social lifestyle! It is not racism against *you* to demand this freedom from you – there is no such thing as reverse racism and reverse Apartheid. No more racism, xenophobia, and wars, Arabs-Europeans! No more stealing our Judean cultural items and calling them yours before the world! Is this *really* too much to ask, even in the 57th century of human recorded history? … You do know, don’t you, that the Jewish people’s hope is for the messianic age – the age of planet-wide human peace – by the year 6,000 of our lunar-solar calendar (16 September 2240, Gregorian, if anyone is asking)? Can we not work towards this as a human species?!! You’re about to make us Jews as incorrect as the Maya civilization! Yet, unlike the Maya people, the Jewish people will be around for it.

Before this post ends….

What you’re failing to understand with these memes is the following:

The Islamic caliphate of Iran is Arab Muslim Colonialism over the Indigenous Peoples of Iran. It does not matter that the Muslim caliphate is comprised of Persian’canos!

Their colonized victims are the Indigenous Persian people of Iran (fire temple Zoroastrians), their Indigenous Kurdish people (sun worshipping Yazidi), and their trapped Indigenous Jewish people (sub-class Colonial expelled Canaan Jews).

Mahsa Amini is Kurdish, a member of an occupied Indigenous people. The Kurdish people are occupied by Arab Syria, Arab Iraq, Arab Turkey, and Arab Iran.

And you thought the Jewish people of “Palestinian” *Arab* partially occupied Judea-Samaria have it bad, for forcibly decolonizing upon our land!

Whether first continent or second continent to be colonized for Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-communism, Colonization is the same on every continent! The victims are *ALWAYS* the Indigenous minorities of the land!

Mahsa Amini is not Iranian, but a victim like all Indigenous Persians, Kurds, and Jews trapped by Arab Muslim racist oppression of non-Arabs! Just like Indigenous Peoples experience on the continent that European Christians named “America.”

This Colonial regime must fall, along with every other Arab-European Colonial regime for Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-communism supremacy upon Indigenous Peoples’ lands!
