indigeneity is more than where a culture originates and it is so obnoxious when zionist jews claim levantine indigeneity to justify allegiance to a political project dispossessing indigenous palestinians and supporting governments around the world dispossessing indigenous people.

if you see your politics as part of an indigenous people’s liberation struggle why do you oppose - both rhetorically and through support for a state that sells arms to other settler states - pretty much all other indigenous liberation struggles?

if being “indigenous” to the levant only matters to you because you feel this justifies the israeli state, i don’t think indigeneity actually matters to you.
