Go home Colonizer of Indigenous Peoples’ lands for Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-communism! We will survive you. Every Arab-European colonized tribe still on this planet, we will survive you. Kurds, Druze, Jews, Assyrians, Persians, Armenians, Hindus, Amazigh, Tuareg, Woodaabè, Toubou, San, Sámi, Pueblo, Navajo, Coahuiltecans, Lakota, Cherokee, Wampanoag, Cree, Māori, Lāhui, etc (etc, etc)!

The Jewish people are now decolonized, since 1948 – the first IP to forcibly decolonize (and not the last to do so!) – and we will never be your victimized dhimmi *ever* again! You can wear our ancient sudra and call it a “Palestinian keffiyeh,” you can wear our women’s Canaanite Jewish dress wear and call it “Palestinian” ethnic wear, you can appropriate all you want, you can even settler-occupy our land as you have done – but you will never be us nor replace us *ever*, Arab-European Colonizer for Allah-Christ-Marx and caliphates-kings-communism!
‘You’re the pretender. What if I say I will never surrender?’ Lying to yourself, lying to other Colonizers, believing in invented history, does not erase our Indigenous Peoples’ reality and *presence* upon our lands! We will survive you. Yes. We refuse to be you! … Now,… What were you saying, again?
————-
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!

This here is the feared Zionist “colonization” plan – as expressed by the Ottoman empire’s Ashkenazi and Sephardi-Mizrahi Jewish population:
“The call to accept Ottoman citizenship does not mean assimilation… What is the meaning of the term Ottoman? It is not the name for a nationality, a race, or a nation in the natural sense of the word… It is a political term, no more… Jews, be Ottoman! Be the subjects of the Ottoman Empire, so you can be Hebrew in the land of your forefathers.” – Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, journalist, a Luzhki-Russia-born Ashkenazi Zionist, Editor of ha’Tsvi newspaper, 1908 – this Ashkenazi-backed newspaper was published in Jerusalem from 1884 to 1914.
“Our homeland has returned to rebirth… and therefore our brothers the Jewish people, residents of Turkey, will endeavor through the freedoms given to us to bring closer all that is good and useful for our homeland…. so that we will not be considered less than the Christians…Forward, brothers, a little bit of force and everything can be accomplished. In order to save our [Jewish people’s] honor before everything!” – Avraham Elmaliach, journalist, a Jerusalem-born Sephardi-Mizrahi Zionist activist, founder of the Herut (“Freedom”) newspaper, edited by Elmaliach between 1914 and 1919, became the official newspaper of the Irgun freedom fighters for the liberation of Israel from British-Egyptian occupation.
What changed? The British-Egyptian-Arab militarized occupation of the land of Israel post-WWI, that’s what! Easily verifiable historical facts really do matter, folks!
Ashkenazi Zionists who returned to the Sephardi-Mizrahi Jewish communities of Judea-Samaria during the Ottoman period had no problem being Turkish subjects while maintaining indigenous Jewish identity and Zionist aspirations! It was the post-WWI Colonial Arab and British occupiers of the land of Israel that ignited our in general anti-Colonialism Jewish nature! Learn for yourself:
“In the wake of the 1908 revolution, the question of Ottomanization for immigrating Jewish settlers dominated most Zionist conversations. [Eliezer] Ben-Yehuda’s Ashkenazi-backed ha-Tsvi ignited a pro-Ottomanization discourse that not only diverged from the traditional Ashkenazi anti-Ottomanist narrative as proposed by Campos, but also persuaded other segments of the yishuv to follow its lead toward Ottomanization. Ben-Yehuda called for Ottomanization to “convince the government that the members of the yishuv were loyal citizens, and allow them to take an active part in political processes in the Empire, influence the future of Palestine, and freely pursue their national project.”34
Ben-Yehuda recognized the ethno-religious heterogeneity of the empire and found it a suitable framework for pursuing the Jewish national goals. He saw no contradiction between supporting Jewish nationalism and remaining loyal to the empire because he perceived nationalist aims within a future federal Ottoman political framework. He argued that Jews living in Ottoman Palestine would be able to retain their Jewish identity and support the federal system just like Jewish Americans had done in the United States. He proclaimed:
‘The call to accept Ottoman citizenship does not mean assimilation… What is the meaning of the term Ottoman? It is not the name for a nationality, a race, or a nation in the natural sense of the word… It is a political term, no more… Jews, be Ottoman! Be the subjects of the Ottoman Empire, so you can be Hebrew in the land of your forefathers.35’ ” – (1)
In caparison, the first Arab conspiracy theory targeting the Jewish people of Judea-Samaria, both native and returning immigrants, happened almost a decade earlier, and their Arab fears of Jewish Independence became realized by their Arab-European forced retreat of the Ottoman Turks! Learn for yourself:
“The prominent Ottoman Muslim thinker [Rashid Rida] and al-Manar editor underwent a transformation in thought that does not align with trends in popular Arab thinking of Zionism. Similarly, the accuracy with which he predicts the future of Zionism in Palestine begs the question if the factors of pre-destined Zionist sovereignty were in place in Palestine by the 1908 revolution.
Shavit’s analysis shows that by 1902, Rida had recognized the cultural and educational strides Jews had made in Europe, had defined the Jewish people as a “mighty nation,” and “underlined the plausibility of the plan to take over Palestine.”39 In the wake of the 1908 revolution, Rida was convinced that the Jews had orchestrated the movement, had plans to take over al-Aqsa mosque as their first step in eradicating Muslims and Christians from Palestine and wielded unmatched influence in the Committee of Union and Progress.40” – (2)
So, Ottoman period Ashkenazi Zionist returnees to Judea-Samaria wanted *not* to “colonize” (regardless what was said and later wrote for European gentile ears), but to be loyal “subjects of the Ottoman Empire,” which aligned with native Sephardi-Mizrahi Jewish sentiment of the time. Eliezer Ben-Yehuda’s calls for this in Jerusalem became well received among the Yishuv (ethno-religious Jews, regardless whether Ashkenazi, Sephardi, or Mizrahi – all the Jews living in the Land of Israel before the first *Middle Eastern* Jewish Zionist immigration wave – “aliyah” – of 1882). And this “Ottomanization” sentiment among Jews in the land of Israel only changed *after* 1882, with the new Yishuv (Sephardi-Mizrahi Jews, who returned to Israel mostly by foot, fleeing antisemitic Arab violence, and Ashkenazi ethno-religious Jews seeking freedom from Europe).
Before Theodor Herzl formed the European-based Zionist Organization in 1897 to promote Jewish immigration back to the land of Israel, Jewish Zionism was already a well established fact of reality within Judea-Samaria. So much so, that our near two decades of Indigenous Jewish agricultural and waters sovereignty restoration projects upon the land of Israel had Muslims like Rashid Rida deeply worried as early as 1908 that they would not reconquer the Levant in time to prevent Jewish decolonized self-sovereignty! Post-1882 Middle Eastern Jewish immigration to what Arabs and Europeans *only* call “Palestine” had jumped started modern Jewish Zionism. All of the Jews now returning from Diasporas were now activists for economic independence and national Jewish identity as the desired goal of Zionism.
To re-clarify this historical point, before Ashkenazi Jews with political and financial means began to put their resources into reestablishing the nation of Israel, Middle East Jews and returned Jews from Europe living upon Judea-Samaria *already had* a collective ethno-religious Zionist alliance – that now mandated Jewish decolonization, *Zionism*, as an “enterprise” for the survival of the Jewish people. Thus, Arabs eyeing the reconquering of the Levant for Allah and caliphates saw this Jewish Zionism as an existential threat to their intended re-colonization, and they were right to think this! The Jews of Judea-Samaria did not take kindly to the British-Egyptian occupation of the land of Israel post- their Arab-European created WWI!
There has never been even a day in our people’s multiple millennia history that the Jewish people have not been present living upon our ancestral land of Israel! Only Colonial Arabs and Europeans erase our presence upon our land in their social worlds of anti-Indigenous propaganda.
Zionism, our fourth attempt to regain sovereignty, began in 1882, folks, – and I can’t say this enough – with the flight of Yemeni Jews back to Israel, because of *Arab violence* against the Jewish people. We MENA Jews invited Jews in Europe to return and most did not, but some wrote books using the Colonial European’s language and played the politics of Europe – so that the Europeans would not be troubled, rather caught off guard – by our MENA Jewish people’s intent to forcibly decolonize.
Easily verifiable historical facts really do matter, folks! So long as you do not erase the Middle Eastern half of Jewish history, that is. Jews are not Europeans, and most Jews in Israel have no European ghettoed ancestors – ours are victims of Arab atrocities inflicted upon their colonized dhimmi!
“The call to accept Ottoman citizenship does not mean assimilation… What is the meaning of the term Ottoman?

Both Egyptian born Yasser Arafat and Bethlehem recruited Mahmoud Abbass were trained by the USSR’s KGB for their role as leader of the fictitious 1964 created “Palestinian people” long-term settler-occupation force upon the “West Bank” and Gaza parts of our 1948 decolonized land of Israel. It is *not* the Jewish people’s fault that Colonial Arabs occupying Jewish decolonized land believe now, after multiple decades of political terrorism lies, that they were a people before 1964 and are, somehow, being occupied by the Indigenous population of the land who are, somehow, the outsiders. Easily verifiable historical facts really do matter, folks!
Delusional systemic lies do not erase the historical facts of the land! You Colonial Arabs will not replace us, *ever*, as the indigenous of the land. You don’t know what it means to be Indigenous to Judea-Samaria! And none of the violence over the last 70+ years between “Palestinian” Arabs and Israelis (Jews Indigenous to Judea-Samaria and our Arab, Druze, and Bedouin citizens) would have even happened, *if* surrounding “Palestinian” *Arabs* hadn’t decided to conquer and occupy freshly decolonized Israel in 1948 for Allah-Marx and caliphates-communism! Think deeply about this.
Victim-blaming is as much of a Colonial sin as land theft and identity thieving, Arabs-Europeans! Go back home to *your* lands, and get out of all Indigenous Peoples’ lands around this planet! If this is too much, then become good and lawful loyal citizens of the Indigenous nations as we decolonize upon our ancestral lands! Stop being a racist self-entitled supremacist seeking to erase we Indigenous Peoples all to protect your self-created historical/behavioral impunity.

Listen to AUTHENTIC Jewish shofar blowing this Jewish calendar New Year!
And as you do this… I’ve noticed something very sad! The Christian wannabe “Jewish” pretenders and their “Messianic” and “Hebrew Israelite” imposters (all of them Colonial identity thieves) have literally flooded YouTube over the last few years with their Christian versions of shofar blowing – feeling their supremacist need to dress up in our Jewish ritual items to do “spiritual warfare” online with our *Jewish* cultural inheritance. — *It is disgusting, inappropriate, and offensive!! It is as bad as an Arab wearing a knock off version of our Jewish sudra and calling it a “Palestinian” keffiyeh!!* — So, since we Jews are the only tribe still surviving of our Canaan kind, let us now do some reparative, redemptive, *authentic* shofar blowing that only an actual Jew can do correctly. The right Indigenous mindset is vital to the fulfilling of this mitzvah! And Christians/Muslims, you aren’t Jews, no matter how many pretend videos you make online!
I present this video, linked here, because many colonized Jews living in Diaspora, who are legitimately Jewish by our people’s halachot, are more and more online these days for the ritual oriented aspects, and because Christians are still at their appropriation games of trying to replace authentic Jewish representations with their dress up Christianity – even travelling to Israel now just to make a validation video of their mock Judaism upon the “Holy Land” – further continuing their efforts to give the Jewish people a BAD representation in this world, and to further proselytize their Colonizer religion to our extreme Indigenous minority. This is not welcome among the Jewish people, full stop!
Shofar Ram’s Horn Ritual
Halachic note: Electricity is not fire. So on this note, the prohibition to not transform and improve the material world by melacha is still being observed here on Yom Tov with this post (though I still wrestled deeply with just quickly “dropping it here”), but the mitzvah for Jews to “hear” the shofar blowing on Yom Teruah is a mandatory mo’ed, so I must act for Jews who are separated from community and looking online to fulfill this mitzvah!
