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.
- I don’t know who needs to hear this. There is no genocide in Gaza. Tragedy? Yes, tragedy of the hostages being held by terrorists, tragedy of civilians being used as cover for terrorists organizations while Israel embarks on the righteous mission of returning her citizens and
- 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. Today he apologized.
- For what it’s worth, I’m a proud Zionist. And Zionism isn’t a bad word.
- Today I grabbed coffee with a friend who serves in the IDF. When we caught the subway over to Brooklyn he lit up with a smile as a woman entered the subway. She was wearing a yellow pin and a dog tag. His next words reminded me what this war is really about. "The hostages. She
- To those who consistently have tried to erase or devalue my identity recently, I say this. Connection and responsibility to the land is the backbone of who Native people are. We are of the land that's become America. Jews are of Eretz Yisroel. These are indisputable facts.
- 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.
- This morning I walked my partner to shul. These posters greeted us along Eastern Parkway. Let’s be clear- this isn’t just empty rhetoric. This is a globalized call for violence against Jews everywhere. Don’t be fooled that somehow those who use this language want peace.
- I’m not even Jewish and I’m tired from all the antisemitism. But, I’m more motivated than ever to build strong relationships to combat it.
- For the first time in our states history the drums are beating the songs are sung and our people are dancing to honor the accomplishments of our Indigenous Women. There are no words to express the emotions here.
00:00 - Disgusted with folks I once called friends. Hours after having the murder of friends in Israel confirmed I'm greeted by posts of former friends claiming solidarity with "freedom fighters". I'm just sick to my stomach.
