Israel is NOT settler colonial.
As a Native American, proud Anishinaabe - there is nothing I hate more than seeing this blatant lie.
To call Jews colonizers in their ancestral homeland- a place they've always been is beyond the pale.
In this time we must stick to the facts.

Really wanted to stop this individual and ask how I, a Native American who believes in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and Democratic State alongside its Arab neighbors, inclusive of a future Palestinian, am racist. But alas, not sure he’d have any thoughtful responses. 🤷🏾♂️

Today I tweeted out my support for 🇮🇱 in its war against Hamas. And then was added to leftist account lists labeled "Nazis"
I know Im not alone in this targeting. But it's important for Jews to know that they are NOT alone in the fight against antisemitism. The haters will lose.

Another day flying while indigenous. Being told that my tribal ID is not valid. And that you must have a passport to travel. And then being told I won’t be able to go through security. And then having bystanders step in and show TSA the actual rules. Sometimes people are good.

8 years ago I got into an argument with my white uncle about what was happening in Ferguson. I had changed my profile pic to "Hands Up Dont Shoot" He insisted that if people followed the law it wouldn't happen. I threw a turkey leg at him and walked away.

To all my fellow non-Jews,
The rest of this week let's talk about how resilient the Jewish people are. Let's talk about their consistent calls for justice. Let's remember all the times that they have showed up for us. And then let us return the favor and show up for them.

For many friends Trump's blunder "yo Semite" is something that is bringing them laughter. For Natives it's another reminder how little is done to honor and remember the places we once thrived in.
Yohhe'meti (Southern Miwok) or Yos.s.e'meti (Central Miwok) originally referred to the tribe that lived in Yosemite Valley. It was used by the surrounding Miwok tribes.
Trumps inability to say it is just another stain on his inability to honor Native people.

Antisemitism is a non-partisan issue. It comes from the right and it comes from the left. It will take all hands on deck to root it out and stop the virulent hatred. It's past time for non-Jews to listen to our Jewish neighbors and learn how we can address antisemitism and act.
