Ryan Bellerose, a Native American human rights activist, explains why all indigenous groups should support the Jewish people, who are in fact indigenous to the land of Israel.“It is not ok to take someone’s history from them; it is not ok to appropriate and marginalise their pain – and this is precisely what Arabs who claim commonalities with us are doing. When I am speak with Jewish people about our experiences, it’s empathy and not paternalistic sympathy: it is, in fact, about our shared experiences.
We do not want nor will we accept this pro-Palestinian solidarity with its price tag of betrayal of another indigenous nation”
