"From my Māori perspective, a key point is that there was always a continuous Jewish presence in the land; they kept the fires burning, and that is what indigeneity looks like to us"
Dr. Sheree Trotter is an indigenous scholar and activist. She spoke at a first-of-its-kind conference called Building Indigenous‑Jewish Friendship, held in Toronto in conjunction with the annual Walk with Israel march.
She called Israel, "the most successful land‑back project, the greatest decolonization project."
“Increasingly, indigenous identity is being treated as a metaphor, a branding exercise, a political strategy. Indigeneity isn’t any of that; it is a lived reality rooted in specific people and place.” Karen Restoule, an Ojibwe from Dokis First Nation, who is director of Indigenous affairs at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, spoke at the conference, too.
Why do Western activists insist they know more about indigeneity than indigenous people themselves?
I am a Zionist. Many people out there don’t seem to understand what a Zionist is - and what it isn’t - so here you go.
I believe in the existence of a Jewish home land, Israel, in the land of Judea, where it currently is.
As a Zionist, I do not automatically agree with or support everything the country does, nor do I automatically agree with every government, every politician, every decision.
As a Zionist, I am free to criticize policies and governments of Israel, just the same as I am to criticize the Canadian government or the American government or any other government.
I can believe that the Israelis who spit on Christians should be charged, and I do.
I can believe that the violence in Judea and Samaria needs to be stopped, and I do.
I can believe that every single Israeli, regardless of religion, who commits rape, should be tried and should face the harshest punishments, and I do.
I can believe that every single war crime committed by an Israeli should be prosecuted, and I do.
I can believe that Israel should be held to the same standards of every other nation, and I do.
The only things I don’t do, because I’m a Zionist?
Call for the destruction of the only Jewish nation in the world.
Hold them to a far higher standard than everyone else, just because they’re Jewish.
Spread false propaganda about them, just because they’re Jewish.
Because even though you pretend that’s “antizionism”, it’s just masking your true motives.
Jew hatred.
People don’t realize that the entire history of Israel was subjected to a hostile, coordinated, well-funded rewrite on Wikipedia. History is being rewritten to support the disinformation war that supported the Iranian Axis’ kinetic objectives.
Ten Flotilla land convoy members were detained by Libyan militias TEN DAYS AGO and just had their imprisonment extended by the repressive regime there. I haven’t seen a global outcry or obsessive coverage by media. I wonder why.
85 years ago, the Farhud pogrom shattered one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world.
In June 1941, mobs in Baghdad brutally attacked, murdered, assaulted, and looted Jews simply for being Jewish. The Farhud was not only a tragedy for Iraqi Jewry - it became a symbol of the persecution faced by Jewish communities across the Middle East.
Today, we remember the victims, honor the rich heritage of Iraqi Jews, and reaffirm the importance of standing against antisemitism, hatred, and incitement.
Israel dropped 200,000 bombs. If they wanted to commit a genocide they would have wiped every person in Gaza from existence.
They have a kill percentage of 3.2%.
WWII killed approximately 4% of the global population.
The Siege of Leningrad killed approximately 25% of the city’s population.
The atomic bomb killed approximately 30-40% of Hiroshima’s population instantly.
The firebombing of Tokyo killed approximately 5-8% of the city’s population in one night.
The bombing was not optimized for killing people. It was optimized for destroying infrastructure tunnels, weapons storage, command nodes, and the physical environment Hamas operated in.
They warned civilians before strikes documented:
They dropped leaflets, made phone calls, sent text messages telling people to evacuate (documented)
They allowed 112,000 aid trucks into Gaza during active combat
They facilitated field hospitals
They targeted Hamas commanders specifically documented kills of senior Hamas leadership including Yahya Sinwar.
No military in history has done more administrative work to avoid civilian casualties while simultaneously fighting an enemy that deliberately hides in hospitals, schools, and mosques and uses its own population as shields also documented, on Hamas’s own video.
Tucker Carlson is a moron and a coward and in a debate with someone who’s not aligned with Russian, Iranian and Chinese propaganda he wouldn’t survive one round.
Of course all these people are cowards who only invite each other to discuss this issue because anyone with half a brain would wipe the floor with them.

Let us be clear: this is not a debate about the Middle East. Hanging effigies of Jews in the streets of Montreal evokes some of the darkest antisemitic imagery in history and is completely unacceptable.
This is not “peaceful activism.” It is the promotion of hatred and the incitement of violence that fuels the radicalization of our social climate.
What will it take for authorities to treat these acts as the serious threat they are?
BREAKING: Masked Islamists in Montreal paraded a Jew being hanged through the streets.
Get every single one of these terrorists out of the West.
Enough of this.
Less than 12 hours ago, she was the motionless victim on a stretcher with a neck brace. Today she’s the resilient, fully recovered survivor, just in time for flowers and attention.
These scammers don’t even try to make it believable anymore. They know millions of idiots will ignore the fake injuries, blatant lies, and manipulation as long as the grifter flashes a peace sign and says “Free Palestine.”
BREAKING: Hezbollah just accidentally exposed themselves to international media.
They posted a video claiming the IDF struck a civilian home in Lebanon. But they accidentally filmed the rocket launcher in the background.
Suddenly, the media isn’t reporting the story.
A democrat candidate for congress is suggesting a concentration camps for Americans who support Israel.
I can't believe the world I am raising my children in. Like, I actually can't believe this is America in 2026.
(also I'm a zionist, so she wants me imprisoned too).

Oh, and the timing for Kristof's propaganda piece was to get ahead of this.
He wasn't tasked with revealing sexual crimes, but with covering for them. And it worked.

A timely and important gesture from the @CanadiensMTL to invite @GidZel from @ShaarHashomayim to sing the national anthems. Montreal isn’t Montreal without the Jewish community, and when an institution of the Canadiens’ stature shows solidarity, it speaks volumes. #GoHabsGo
