One of the weirdest anti-Indigenous hate tropes that I’ve personally seen online has to do with ululation – a celebratory long, tongue wavering, high-pitched vocal sound that resembles “a howl with a trilling quality”. In the case of Jews with ancestry in the Western diasporas (in Europe and “America”), the ululo (the ancient Latin word for this sound) is used to define how Jews – period, no matter where our ancestors have successfully lived in this world (who, by racist history revisionism, somehow all originate in Europe now, rather than our Canaan Levant – LOL!) – are not an Indigenous People of the Levant, and how “Palestinians” – a 1964 Egyptian terrorist with Soviet support invented people – are somehow magically the Indigenous population of our Land of Israel in the Canaan Levant (because they ululo, not just occupied our ancestral land). Let us address this online weirdness extreme, here and now….
First of all, even “Native Americans” (First Nations of the Michilimackinac continent) ululo, and this “trilling howling” was inherited and passed down generation to generation! Where did they bring this celebratory (slash war-cry) sound from? The answer is from the first continent that humans settled, that is halfway around the planet, where humans originated upon, historically and demonstrably scientifically. No, they did not inherit this sound from Jews of the Middle East, nor from Egyptians of North Africa, nor from Arabs of Arabia. They inherited their ululation from Africa! From where this expressed sound originates. This is why Jews, Egyptians, Kurds, Balochs, Assyrians, Persians, and Arabs all ululo on the “first world” (meaning, the continents directly Africa connected).
The Modern Hebrew word for ululation is “tsahalulim” (צהלולים). Recordings of various styles of ululations are commonly found in the music of artists who are of Jewish tribal descent who are performing Mizrahi styles of music. Further, when Mizrahi Jews perform Jewish music, Arabs feel instinctually compelled to ululo – what Arabs call زغاريت “zaghārīt” (Zaghrouta) – even in the Arab occupied Land of Israel! Why is this? Do you want proof? Watch the Arab Colonizer child (aka, “Palestinian”) who responds celebratory to a Jew’s song in the Land of Israel (that is sung in Colonial Arabic!) shared here directly below.
But, before we go there, one additional point: Whether an Indigenous Person can ululo or not very much depends upon the level of European Christian colonization of this planet Earth (Arab Islam colonization has had no impact upon ululation). The more successfully colonized the Indigenous People, the less ululation among them in the “Western” (European Christian) colonized diasporas. Think deeply on this, for… we Jews, we even ululo in Miami, Florida, of the USA diaspora for Jews! See the videos below. Yes, “Palestinian” is a no-thing invented in the 20th century CE to deny Jewish sovereignty and decolonization upon our ancestral land (achieved in 1948, our successfully forced Zionism).
Three videos here:
The first is the Jewish version of Prince in and for the Middle East:

Dudu Tassa, an Iraqi-Kuwaiti Jew by descent, now living in Israel because of Arab (“Palestinian”) ethnic-cleansing!
The second is a Jewish wedding in Miami among Mizrahi Jews:

The third is the original source for ululation on this planet Earth:
Capturing the magical celebratory call of ululating in Africa
One final thought, because a portion of my online audience will be “Western”, “European”, and “Christian” influenced/raised: In the Middle East, we ululate with the vowel i (“ee”) and in Africa proper everyone is ululating in the vowel u (oo). From what I’ve experienced of second continent ululation, the First Nations there ululate with the vowel ay (vowel i with a different mouth position). Even some resistant to Colonial Christianity indigenous Europeans continue to ululate to this very day for ritual, celebratory, and sacred reasons.
So, when I see “civilized” Europeans treating the “uncivilized” as an object of spectacle to video and share, because it’s “so cool, man!”…. I have my doubts about the intentions of these European-Arab Colonizers of this planet Earth.
Woody Wyoming’s “white”ness is showing. When was the last time you advocated for the decolonization of Indigenous Peoples’ lands and literal historic accountability for Arab-European Colonialism across this planet?
In other words,… Enough with the European and Arab racial division of humanity by geography, skin color, level of “civilized” development, and ululation or not – these labels and categories exist only to ensure their Arab-European Colonial continued supremacy upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands around this planet Earth, for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism, of course!
Zaghrouta, Tsahalulim, Ululation, It’s All The Same Thing!
