When antisemitism increases in the Western and Eastern sides of this planet Earth (aka, the European and Middle Eastern worlds), *who* are the victims?!
All around this world, the lessons of World War 2 are being quickly forgotten, and the Jewish people are *again* being blamed for the world’s problems, and for individual nation’s problems, *in addition to* the post-1948 victim-blaming for our forced decolonization “problem” regarding (what Colonial Arabs-Europeans and their successfully colonized call) the “Palestinian” problem. But, are Jews the only victim *everytime* as human history progresses upon this planet Earth?
No! Absolutely not, absolutely NO!!! In *most* places colonized for Colonial Allah-Christ-(now)-Marx dominionism upon all human beings lives, it is the *LOCAL* Indigenous folk who pay the dearest price for Colonial Arab-European *antisemitism*. Then, the Jewish people who happen to be present in these places pay the typical often violent price. The only exception is within Judea-Samaria, where the Jewish people have any kind of majority presence upon this planet Earth. Everywhere else, “we be like chameleons” in this world, only identifiable when paid attention to! This is a perspective so often missed, courtesy of Arab-European Colonial *antisemitic* racism!
As the Jewish people, born from the soil of the Levant that Aegean Europeans up north and Arabians down south coveted as land and culture and religion for *their own*, we see it every generation! And we Jews are so few in numbers, worldwide, being a repeatedly colonized Indigenous people ourselves, that we can effectually do nothing about this. Besides gaslighting ourselves in the *idea* that somehow, because we keep surviving as the people of the land of Israel, we must be having some kind of enlightened effect upon this colonized world for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands and those not yet conquered.
But, are we really? Especially, knowing that we are *not* actually being listened to by most humans residing upon this planet Earth?! This awareness keeps too many of us Jews up at night. Because, *too often* it is the local Indigenous populations that pay the price for systemic Colonial Arab-European antisemitism. Antisemitism, which is an inculcated and incurable form of anti-Indigenous racism – for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism upon all human beings’ lives upon this planet Earth! Our own ancestral literatures say that we, the Jewish people, are the solution for peace – just by our survival as the people of Israel upon the land of Israel. But, the non-Jewish world around us insists that we, the Jewish people, are the reason for the sufferings in this world – by our resolute refusal to capitulate and to assimilate ourselves to their preferences and demands.
Oh, my! Where does history go from here?! For only the Jewish Indigenous of Judea-Samaria will dance with our “four species” around the sacred temple mount of our ancestors, repeating our sacred words in their/our Canaanite Hebrew language! And seek the blessing of the Cohen for our future survival as the people of Israel in the land of Israel!!! … No! … Colonial Arabic, Colonial English, Colonial Spanish, Colonial French, Colonial Dutch, etc (did I mention Colonial Arabic?) speakers cannot *begin to understand* what *they do* generation upon generation to the Indigenous Peoples of this planet Earth, in their supremacy for Allah-Christ-Marx exceptionalism upon planet Earth! How can they understand? By superior numbers and their echo chambers they are always right, yes?!
Snapshot: Who are the actual victims of antisemitism?! The answer *always* is: those that happen to be the local Indigenous! How do I, *little ‘ol nobody me,* know this?! The Indigenous Tree of Life has no natural place for *viralism,* which tries to graft itself onto and to replace the original form. Seriously! One or the other dies, and there is no compromise! *I see it everyday!* This struggle between the Indigenous bush and the “felishti,” the “rolled in,” thorny vine trying desperately to be the indigenous bush it occupies!!!
Because I respect the blind innocence of both the bush and the vine, I am *awed* by this struggle – so I allow it to happen outside my door. Literally, folks, outside my Jewish house *everyday* I watch the struggle between Jewish survival upon our land of Indigenous birth, and the 1964 KGB-PLO created “Palestinian people” Arab long-term settler-occupation force meant to replace our Indigenous Judean people! I want to love both, but every time the vine begins to get an upper hand upon the bush, I instinctually cut the vine back and make it start over again.
Why?! Why not just let the vine take over as the bush? Why not just uproot the viral vine from the ground itself? Because, without the remnants of Colonial Arab Islam and European Christianity to keep our Indigenous Judean people aware and ready for infection, how will *we* survive as an Indigenous People?! (It’s too easy to be colonized!) How many Indigenous Peoples upon this planet Earth failed to learn this lesson before going extinct as a people? Life by nature is a struggle, the viruses always seek to occupy and replace, and only the local Indigenous who are strong enough *survive*. Hence, why I can proudly say, “am Yisrael Chai,” during *my* lifetime!

The Islamic regime that is oppressing the Indigenous Peoples of Iran and Kurdistan tortured and murdered a Kurdish woman – Zhina Amini – with their morality police, all for showing too much hair and not enough hijab. The Kurdish people are rebelling against this Colonial Arab Islamic tyranny over the Middle East! But where are the Persians? Have they forgotten that they are just as oppressed as the Kurdish people?! … How many more must die at the hands of these Colonial Islamists for Allah-caliphates dominionism over the Indigenous Peoples of the Levant (Jews, Druze, and Kurds) and Southwest Asia (Kurds, Assyrians, and Persians)?! Where is the Colonial world’s outcry over this anti-Indigenous oppression? … Oh wait, scratch that last question. Colonials for Allah-Christ-Marx oppression only congratulate and encourage other oppressors!

Enjoy the Libyan Jew singer David Dawer’s
MENA Jewish “Sukkah v’Lulav” song for Sukkot on #IndigenousPeoplesDay !
Our Jewish roots run very deep throughout the land of Judea and Samaria, and the northern half of Jordan. 3,300 years “non-stop” deep, since our IP’s founding event in Moab (southern Jordan today). Unlike the Colonial Arab weed roots that cling to the surface of the Levant and Southwest Asia lands – in a bid for racist Colonial supremacy and ownership, since the invention of Colonial Islam for Allah-Christ-(now)-Marx dominionism over planet Earth, having spread north from Arabia down south. This is precisely why it is Jewish people engaging in *Chag HaAsif*, the “Festival of Ingathering” or “Harvest Festival,” at this time of year – whether we are in Judea-Samaria, our ancestral land, or are in any other place upon this Earth that Jews reside outside the land of Israel. And it’s a VERY big deal! The end of the yearly harvesting season. From here, night precedes day. Winter precedes Spring-Summer-Autumn.
Sukkot maintains the traditional similarities with older Canaanite new-year/harvest festivals, which included a seven-day celebration with sacrifices reminiscent of those in the scroll of Bamidbar (Numbers) 29:13-38 and “dwellings of branches,” as well as processions around sacred communal ground with branches. While the Jewish people celebrate our Canaanite festival inheritance with joyous celebration at this time of year, “Palestinian” Arab political land-squatters flock to olive gardens and to social media, pushing their 1964 KGB-PLO invented “culture” and “history” online – trying to re-write physical history in the minds of Colonial Arabs-Europeans for Allah-Christ-Marx, playing dress up (in Canaanite appropriated apparel, while tossing olives) and pretending to be the new ancient “indigenous” of eretz Yisrael, the land of Canaan/Israel. Such activities are meant to replace and erase our Indigenous Judean week long Sukkot harvest festival.
Why can’t the non-Indigenous world bend for a change to the Indigenous mindset, rather than expecting the Indigenous person or People to bend to the non-Indigenous world? … To rephrase,… Why can’t the gentile world bend for a change to the Jewish mindset, rather than expecting the Jewish person or the Jewish people to bend to the gentile world’s desires?! Why must it always be that the Indigenous, the Jew, must agree to the desired will of the world around us? And, if we don’t readily agree (or ever agree), why is it our fault what results from this?!
If you really want to be us, the Jewish people, then stop being an Arab or European identity thief and apply for membership in our communities and face a Jewish beit din, a Judea-originating court of law, ruling on your legal status – but don’t *steal* our identity and make it *Arab*/*Muslim* or *Christ*ian, because you have the Colonial privilege and hubris to do so! To appreciate our Jewish rituals and our Jewish land does not require appropriating our Jewish ancestors and rituals, settler-occupying our Judean-Samarian land, and making a mockery of the Jewish people in your supremacist ignorance!
Aravrit Snapshot: Is it wise for Jews Indigenous to Judea-Samaria to normalize the blending of native Canaanite Hebrew with occupying Colonial Arabic? How does this end historic and present Arab occupational antisemitism towards the Jewish people of Judea-Samaria?

Rabbi Ysoscher Katz’s wrote…
“Rabbi, can you help me pick out an esrog? I know that aesthetics is an essential part of the considerations, but what determines supremacy in the citrus beauty pageant?
———-Sure! Here is, broadly speaking, what you need to consider.
When buying an Esrog you look for three things:
1) size;
2) cleanliness;
3) and, personality (is the surface bland, or does it have depth, crevices and curves).
Almost no esrog will have all three. You therefore have to prioritize and look for the characteristics that most naturally correspond with your sense of halakhic aesthetics.
Historically, communities have developed their own aesthetic hierarchy.
Chassidim (for the most part) prefer size and personality and care less about cleanliness, while for Litvaks it is the reverse. They care more about size and cleanliness and less about personality.
There is also a political component to the process. Israeli esrogim often tend to be less clean than non-Israeli ones.
Therefore, if geographical affiliation factors into your religious sensibility, you will be willing to compromise physical beauty for geographical pedigree.
Ultimately, the choice is highly subjective; what is beautiful to you might be garish to me.
Either way, come Monday morning we will all go to shul, clutching a citrus fruit whose primary attraction to us is its religiously dictated aesthetic qualities. It will be the most beautiful esrog to YOU.
When our culture offers such a crass and superficial understanding of beauty, it’s only appropriate that we observe a holiday which celebrates the complexity of the aesthetic experience.”
In my ethno-religious sensibility, geographical pedigree is preferred but, even if it is a non-Israeli etrog, I prefer my etrogim have size and personality and a bit of dirt from the ground!
What is your favorite pattern for waving the Four Species (lulav, hadass, aravah, v’etrog) in the Six Directions, and how seriously do you take this plant waving ritual? Do you understand the mystical, historical, and environmental meanings at the heart of this yearly seasonal ritual of Judea-Samaria? Do you want to learn, to ask questions, and participate without interpretative cultural appropriation?
Waving the LULAV in the Six Directions – it’s a REALLY BIG DEAL! A VERY IMPORTANT yearly ritual act!
חג סוכות שמח!
Chag Sukkot sameach!

Oh, wow! I’ve lost five followers today (usually, it is lose one and gain one – even on an Indigenous holiday period)! Was it something that I shared here? Perhaps, the historical truths? Perhaps, the need to call *unapologetically* a spade a spade? For all Indigenous Peoples, the fear of *rejection* keeps the colonized Indigenous in their colonized place (how dare you call out the historic Arab-European Colonizers, and make them feel bad!). I don’t fear rejection anymore, because it is time to *decolonize* the Jewish people – born from the soil of the Levant, and the 1st colonized IP to be victimized for Christ-(then)-Allah dominionism – from capitulating to the supremacist whims of Arab-European Colonialism for Allah-Christ-(now)-Marx and caliphates-kings (-now-) capitalism-communism!
If WE CAN’T HAVE THE HONEST DISCUSSION ABOUT Arab-European Colonialism upon all the Indigenous Peoples of this planet Earth?! Then *HOW* do we stop the supremacist, the racist, the antisemitic atrocities that plague this planet Earth – courtesy of Colonial-minded human beings for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism upon all humans of this planet?! … Just asking! I already know that self-evident truths are not “shareable” and barely “like”able. But, someone has to be bold enough to “JUST SAY IT”. There will be *NO PEACE upon planet Earth* until Colonial Arabs-Europeans for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism upon all peoples upon this planet *THEMSELVES* address *their* supremacist and violent history – and *APOLOGIZE* to all humanity for *their* self-righteous and self-entitled supremacy! Any such apologies *include* laws enforced to prevent this *impunity* sin from further occurring.
LOL! Five in one day … for pointing out that the 1964 KGB-PLO invented “Palestinian people”s attempts to avoid Indigenous Judean Sukkot rituals upon the historic land of Israel, by playing Colonial Arab dress-up in social media and olive tossing,…! Did I touch a nerve?! … There will be *NO PEACE* for the Jewish people Indigenous to Judea-Samaria, *UNTIL* we address Colonial Arab-European appropriation of our ancestors (with their invented Colonial religions, up north and down south) and their historic attempts to thieve our ancestral land, even by attempting to eliminate the Indigenous Judeans from our existence upon planet Earth(!). … “It’s in past” is no *excuse*, when the same tropes and calls for violence is yet *again* echoing and increasing around this planet! *YOU ALL OUTNUMBER US*, and only *YOU ALL*, Colonial Arabs-Europeans, can change the direction of history! All we Indigenous Peoples can do is *SURVIVE* you – everywhere upon this planet Earth.
