The accusations being made around this world by Arab-European Colonizer nations and their successfully assimilated colonized citizens – that Israel is a “racist” “supremacist” “ethno-State”, an “Apartheid state” for denying non-citizen Arab “Palestinian” land-squatters (who are occupying Jewish ancestral land to deny Jewish sovereignty upon the Land of Israel) equality with Israeli citizens (Jews, Arabs, Druze, Bedouin, and Europeans) – belies an undeniable truth: Israel is the first successful partially decolonized Indigenous nation on this planet Earth (since 1948!). In addition to this truth, the nation-State of Israel is literally 3 times smaller than the Navajo Nation Reservation in the United States of “America”!
Israel is 21,937 sq km (8,469 sq mi) in physical size and has an Israeli citizen population of 9.2 million – and – is occupied by 5.3 million land-squatting non-citizen Arab “Palestinians”. The Navajo Nation Reservation is 71,000 sq km (27,413 sq mi) and it is slightly larger than the USA State of West Virginia, and has only 399,494 Diné Indigenous members. Israel is 3x smaller in physical land size, with an Indigenous Judean population of 7.1 million Jews.
Imagine the Navajo Nation being as obsessed over by USA citizens, as Israel is daily obsessed over by United States citizens (and the entire Arab-European Colonial world)! With this clarification now stated, we can begin to answer the question of this page: Is Israel a racist supremacist ethno-State? Let’s explore, below!
‘Robust debate’ or Jewish hate? The anti-Israel movement’s messaging centers around an obsessive need to whitewash Jewish and Israeli history. Turning Israel, comprised mostly of Indigenous “Middle Eastern North African” Jews, into a Colonial European nation upon our 1948 forcibly decolonized ancestral land. After the Arab Colonizers, with their British-French handlers, invaded to re-colonize the Levant and Southwest Asia during WWI, we Jews had no choice but to fight these occupiers for Israeli Independence!
“And here is where we have an opportunity for a call to action: What if we have had the answer all along?
The anti-Israel movement’s messaging centers around whitewashing Jewish and Israeli history. Some of the movement’s repeated tropes include accusing Israel and Israelis of being white European colonizers, or categorizing Israel as a guilt-ridden gift for the Jewish people after the atrocities of the Holocaust, which in effect denies and delegitimizes Jewish indigenous presence in the land and region for over 3,000 years.
Apart from the blatant inaccuracies, the claims also reflect a deep ignorance of the holistic Jewish experience. They completely exclude Mizrahi and Sephardic communities and their very raw, very recent histories in the region. In the 1940s, approximately one million Jews lived in Arab-Muslim lands. Before and after Israel declared independence in 1948, countries across the Middle East became increasingly hostile to their Jewish habitants. As a result of discrimination, violence, expulsion, dispossession, and fear, 850,000 Mizrahi Jews urgently fled their homes and became refugees, forced to leave everything behind. Often regarded as the “forgotten refugees,” about 650,000 settled in refugee camps in Israel and the remaining 200,000 headed West to the United States and elsewhere.
Politics, media, pop culture, academia, and even mainstream Jewish institutions and communal leadership too often exclude the Mizrahi refugee experience. The Jewish community, in Israel and abroad, has its own history of marginalizing Mizrahi voices and prioritizing education about the Central and Eastern European Jewish experience.
[M]anifestations of contemporary antisemitism, which through anti-Zionist rhetoric and activity seeks to demonize Israel and Israelis, delegitimize indigenous Jewish connections to the land of Israel and the right to self-determination, and hold Israel to a severe double standard not expected of any other country…. To authentically represent ourselves on campus [and in social media], it is imperative that we amplify diverse Jewish voices. This is critical in the fight against antisemitism and misinformation, as Mizrahi stories tell the history that often is omitted from the Arab-Israeli narrative…. [W]e have a grave responsibility to define ourselves, our identities and our histories before others do that for us. This must be a united effort that reflects the vibrant diversity of the Jewish people, because anything less is simply not enough.”

Antisemitism on College Campuses — and a Call to Action
Oh, Arab Colonizers, where did you ethnically cleanse your Jews to? To Israel and USA, of course! …
“Claiming the existence of Israel is racist ignores the reality of a country comprising… many of whom fled institutionalized hatred in their host nations to seek refuge in Israel. It ignores the fact that today more than half of the country’s Jewish population are Mizrahi, or Jews of Middle Eastern and North African descent. That nearly 200,000 Black Ethiopian Jews now call Israel home.”

How dare the Jewish people survive the Arab-Nazi multi-continent mass-genocide of our diasporas-dispersed Indigenous Judean nation! How dare the Jewish people forcibly successfully decolonize one-third of our ancestral land against the ruling will of the post-WWI British-Arab occupiers of the Levant! How dare Jews defy assimilation into Arab-European worldwide Colonialism! … Israel is an “Apartheid state!”, a “racist” “supremacist” Indigenous nation, for not wanting to SHARE Indigenous land with Colonizers!!!
We love our “Palestinian” brothers and sisters, but they need to *remember* that they are Arab Colonizers upon our Indigenous Jewish land of Israel. The Arab Caliphates did not have to colonize the Levant and Southwest Asia regions for Colonial Allah supremacy and Arabizing of lands to the north. The Arab Hashemite family of Arabia didn’t have to re-colonize the Levant and Southwest Asia regions with the British and French during WWI to divide up these lands for Colonial Arab national rule and supremacy. Make peace instead, all Arabs-Europeans, with forcibly decolonized Israel! Become loyal citizens even!
“Before Columbus, your god didn’t exist in “America” (Michilimackinac).”
LOL! … We gonna lay this down right here… Before Marcion of Sinope, the Christian god didn’t exist in the Land of Israel! The Jewish Jesus of Nazareth died a full generation before, executed by the Roman empire for Zionist activism. Hence, why his despondent Judean followers lamented his untimely death (he was supposed to be the human Jew messiah that conquered “the Beast”, Rome) by giving him an unfulfilled “in our lifetime” resurrection to complete the job. Aegean Europeans, having gotten hold of these texts up north, have so perverted our Judean writings.
Torah teaches that you are to love YHWH, the deity of the Land of Israel who chose the Jewish people of the land as vassals to fulfill the land’s/nation’s obligations upon Canaan Israel (Judea and Samaria). How do you love YHWH, the god-King of the land? By administering the halachot (indigenous Judean laws) of the Jewish people, that were originally established by the land’s deity! YHWH rules without direct involvement, for it is the human People that must seek to live in tzedaka (social justice)!
We were given our Indigenous Judean people’s mitzvot Torah, our land/nation obligations, to live by, not to die by. D’varim Torah exists to bring *peace* to the land, one law for Jew and non-Jew upon the land (citizens of Israel, not Colonial occupiers). So long as we Jews Indigenous and Jews colonized continue to fight each other, then the 3rd hekal Esnoga (Beit ha’Miqdash) cannot be built next to the Colonial al-Aqsa mosque.
Afterthought: This hekal Esnoga should be a taller building, taller than all the historic Christian and Muslim temples that exist upon the Land of Israel. But, as the Indigenous Judean people, for this to be a reality: We Jews must be much taller (morally, ethically, and tribal socially) than the Colonial world that informs us. How are we going to write our narrative into the age of mashiach – peace upon the Land of Israel and *all* other colonized Indigenous nations?
