We definitely *have to chant* our Jewish indigenous ancestral myths, for this is what we *DO* as Judeans, the Indigenous People of Judea-Samaria! But, save this story for the first and last evening of this Pesach festival. Now, for the days in between,…
Teach the demonstrable history of our Jewish people, our historical approaches to keeping our Indigenous festivals, and how we got from there to here in our Jewish ways! Before we get to linked reader, here is my historically accurate reader. Enjoy, and feel free to ask questions!
It was the Canāanites that migrated from the Levant down to Egypt and settled for 430 years, then returned back up to the Levant in several exoduses during the 19th and 20th Egyptian dynasties – thus, the shared inherited myths between Judah, Edom, and Moab. And, like Jews, no, they didn’t build the Pyramids either! These Torah stories are ancestral myths to teach us something about our indigenous character and identity as a people.
According to Torah and recovered other nation stellas, the Jewish people sprung from the land of ANE Moab, the east side of the Jordan river. After becoming a unique ethno-religious people in Moab, the Jewish people crossed to the west side of the river, and became the indigenous ethno-nationality of Judea-Samaria. Of the three descendants of the Canāanite people – Moab, Judah, and Edom – the Jewish people are the only remaining inheritors of our indigenous ancestral language, literatures, ethno-religion, rituals, and halachot.
The mythical stories of our Torah scrolls only happened, because Torah says it happened – and *this is enough* for Jews. No need to dig in the ground, no need to research stellas. The fact that Torah myths are myths, or myths about some history, changes nothing. Even the Canāanites, whom we inherited several exodus stories from, did not build the pyramids while in Egypt for over 400 hundred years. Though, they sure watched them get built, and passed that remembrance on to their Levantine descendants.
Many of these theTorah articles on Egypt reflect an excellent analysis on how priestly scribes retained Canāanite ancestors’ history while in Egypt in a Jewish mythical history form. It is also very likely that the few generations genealogy versions of Egyptian visitation was Bedouin experiences during or directly after the Canāanites decided to leave their Egyptian settlement in several exoduses. After all, an Egyptian pharaoh did not have any problem with repurposing a Hyksos temple to Ba’al for the worship of the Egyptian god Seth, while keeping Seth looking just like Ba’al.

The Hyksos were not slaves in Egypt, and Judeans were not slaves of the Hyksos. Though other West Semetic peoples were. But, the Hyksos, part of our Canāanite ancestors, did live for 430 years in northern Egypt, before many returning in several small exoduses back to Judea-Samaria/Canāan.
The people of Israel became the people of Israel in Moab around the 14-16th centuries BCE. We became an ethno-nationality north of Moab and cross the river in Judea-Samaria. The exoduses back to Canāan/Judea-Samaria did not begin until the 13th century BCE, when weather and Egyptian politics became unlivable. Not all Hyksos left Egypt, but Egyptians took over.
The people of Israel were never personally in Egypt, until the Persian period, where we form the communities of Elephantine. Before this, we took our Canāanite inherited stories of Egypt and turned it into a personal origin story for the people of Israel, based on actual historical events.
Further, out of the tribes that made up the people of Israel, only the Judah tribe survives to this day, we Indigenous Judeans. The rest northward were either assimilated into the Assyrian culture in identity, language, religion, laws, and history, or fled into Judea, and became part of the tribe of Judah to avoid assimilation.
Hence, the Torah lament of the “lost tribes” of Israel. For once Indigenous identity is lost, one becomes part of the Colonizer problems in this world for surviving Indigenous Peoples.
Only the Jewish people, we Judeans, keep the Levant identity, language, history, laws, literatures, and ethno-religious land-agricultural based rituals alive. There is no such thing as Jewish/Judean descendancy by DNA, or by conversion into an appropriating non-Jewish religion. You are either Judean by Indigenous Jewish law (our halacha), or you are not Indigenous to Judea-Samaria.

We Were Slaves to the Hyksos in Egypt[?]
The Hyksos, the West Semitic rulers of northern Egypt in the late 16th century B.C.E., are the biblical Pharaohs and their lower-class subjects, the Hebrews. Here is the history behind the exodus.

What makes you an Indigenous Person? Is it a particular skin color? Is it the length of time that your family has lived on another people’s land, after having conquested/colonized it or migrated to it? Is Indigenous status only determined by the governing world powers – Arab, European, and Marxist nations? Or is it possible that indigeneity might be defined by the stories that we Indigenous Peoples’ hold dear to and teach to our children?
I cannot speak for all Indigenous Peoples on their Indigenous laws that determine who is a member of the Indigenous People and who is not. But I am very sure that their laws are similar to our Jewish people’s laws, which will explain the different skin colors (through genetic admixturing) within an Indigenous People who have been colonized/occupied for a long time by other non-indigenous peoples. To erase an Indigenous People is to deny their full or partial reality in this world.
There are only two ways to be a member of our Judean Indigenous people, by birth or by beit din (community court of law). A Jew is born into this world and is only defined by our Jewish halacha – *not Colonizer ignorance about the Jewish people*. The Jewish people represent every skin color of the Middle East, from Yemeni/Egyptian brown (many of us) to Levant-Persian white (most of us the latter) to, even, Ethiopian brown and all varieties of Asian colors.
According to Jewish halacha (our Judean originating indigenous law), there is no halachic mandate that an Indigenous Jew must be of a certain skin color, of a certain modern DNA profile, presently living in Judea-Samaria (rather than in a Jewish Diaspora community), nor that an Indigenous Jew must be a “believer” in a religion (whether an Indigenous ethno-religion, Judaism, or a Colonizer religion). These things do *not* make you a legitimate halachic member of the Jewish people.
So, what does make you a legitimate halachic member of the Jewish people, the Indigenous People of Judea-Samaria? Halacha! If you are born into an Indigenous Jewish family, then you are a Judean for life. If you have been ruled as a “Jew” in an Indigenous Jewish community’s beit din (indigenous court of law), then you are Judean from this point out for life! The expectation for such Jewishness is to continue l’dor v’dor the Indigenous Jewish people of Judea-Samaria and our ways of life. It’s been this way since the 13th century BCE.
The Jewish people, became an ethno-religious Indigenous people within our brother tribe Moab before settling north of Moab and across the river. Not with our ancestors, but with us. Of the three inheritors and descendants of the Canāanite people – Moab, Judah, and Edom – Moab went extinct through Colonizer assimilation, Edom was pushed by Colonizers into Judah and joined our people as Jews, so only the Jewish people (includes the Samaritans) remain as the living Indigenous People of Judea-Samaria. We are the keepers of Levant Indigenous identity, halachot (indigenous laws), ethno-religious rituals, language, and Zionism (attachment to the land as a vassaled people to the land’s god-King!) in self-sovereignty upon our ancestral land.
“Faith” religions are for the gentiles of this world, the non-Jews – of whom, many who like to appropriate our ancestors and ancestral literatures as their own. For erasure of Jewish indigeneity upon our ancestral land is a fundamental mandate for Christianity and Islam, the two non-Jewish non-Indigenous Colonizer religions.
Anyone can be Arab Muslim or European-ish Christian. Not everyone gets to be an Indigenous Person. Only Jews get to be Zionists, keepers of the Jewish ancestral land, by the preservation and continuation of our 3,000 year old Indigenous way of life – language, stories, history, laws, rituals, and attachment to and sustainment of our land. All Jews are fundamentally MENA Jews, for everything we are as Jews derives from our identity and attachment to our ancestral land, Judea-Samaria.
If you knew anything about an Indigenous People, then you would know that our people’s myths are built around names, every name has a specific meaning, and the stories could *not* be written without the name nor with another name. For example, “Elohim” literally means “children of El (and El),” thus Torah teaches that humankind, male and female together, were created in “our image.” Elohim is Canāanite in origin, and YHWH is a child (storm) god of El and Asherah (El’s wife).
For example, Noach literally means “to rest” in comfort, for his birth and life brought an end to the curse of drought upon the land, that YHWH had made for Adam’s disobedience, thus ending the drought with salvation of humankind through a flood upon the land. Writing “tall tales” does not invalidate our Jewish indigeneity! Our stories about us as a people are based in the meaning of names, and these names define our identity as the Judean people of Judea-Samaria, more so than the stories that were built around these names.
It doesn’t matter to the Jews of Judea-Samaria that our Torah and Talmud stories are “tall tales” – the former to scare ANE empires from encroaching on Jewish land, and the latter to survive the European Christian and Arab Muslim occupations of our land. For us, those patriarchs and matriarchs exist, because Torah speaks stories about them (these special names filled with meaning), and it does *not* matter that they didn’t actually exist as people in this world.
If you prostrate five times a day and pray towards Mecca, then chances are that you are a Colonizer, who is not Indigenous to Judea-Samaria. No matter where a Jewish community finds itself, all Jews chant Torah three times a day, while facing towards Jerusalem. Why? Because that is our Indigenous land, and our Torah was written there.
בעַל־עֲרָבִ֥ים בְּתוֹכָ֑הּ תָּ֜לִ֗ינוּ כִּנֹּֽרוֹתֵֽינוּ:

“By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat, we also wept when we remembered Zion.
On willows in its midst we hung our harps.
For there our captors asked us for words of song and our tormentors [asked of us] mirth, “Sing for us of the song of Zion.”
“How shall we sing the song of the Lord on foreign soil?”
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget!” – Tehilim 137.1-5, Chabad translation
Only Christians and Muslims and Marxists are religious zealots in this world. All three conquest Indigenous Peoples’ lands for their own. All three violently persecute the Indigenous populations of these lands that they’ve conquered in the name of their idol. All three turn history around and blame the Indigenous Peoples for their Arab, European, and Marxist Colonizer sins. Wake up, Indigenous! The historic evil surrounds you. Wake up, Colonized! You are spreading the Colonizers’ message of hate throughout this world.
Don’t be an anti-Indigenous racist! The Kurds (MENA), Jews (MENA), Druze (MENA), San (Africa), Sámi (Europe), Coahuiltecans (“America”), Wampanoag (“America”), Pueblo (“America”), Lakota (“America”), Cree (Canada), Māori (Pacific), Lāhui (Pacific), etc (etc, etc) thank you! Be like the Foo Fighters, Arabs and Europeans, Mexicanos and Yehudicanos, let go of that Colonizer mentality!

Thank you for supporting Kurdish and Jewish Indigenous land Rights upon our ancestral lands. The “Palestinian” *Arabs* and Imperial European Colonizers do not need to occupy and rule over every Indigenous Peoples’ lands in this world. There is room for we Indigenous Peoples and our self-sovereignty, too!
“The Jewish community of Sine strongly identified with and emphasized on their Kurdish identity (culturally), according to Mirza Nurullah (1891) the Jews from Senneh usually use “Kurd” & “Kurdvan” as their last names, especially when they moved to other Iranian cities. According to Parvaneh, a Kurdi Jew from Sine, reporting in 1960 “the Jewish Kurds in Senneh comprise about 200 families which continually intermarry. […] they consider themselves Kurds and that in their cultural and social patterns they do not vary greatly from those of the larger Kurdish society.” Parvaneh also notes that “relations between Jewish Kurds and the Sunni Muslim Kurds, who are predominant in Iranian Kurdistan, are amicable.”
In 1891, the Jewish population of the city was estimated at 200 families, living side by side with 30 thousand Muslims and about 50 Christian families. By this time the community had two very large synagogues, and its members were merchants, physicians of much influence, shopkeepers in the bazaars and artisans… Jews of Sine were an artistic people. They were specialized skilled workers and craftspeople in textiles, the most well-known dye masters in Sine were Jewish, and today their names are still remembered by senior Kurdish carpet traders in the Sine bazaar.”

“In 1980s over 200,000 Kurds were mass murdered by Iraqi Arab regime during the Anfal campaign which was designed to exterminate the Kurdish people… Thousands of Kurdish women were sold as sex slaves to Arabs inside and outside of Iraq…”
Like we hope for our Kurdish brothers and sisters, the Jewish people will not be dhimmi of Arab and European Colonizers anymore! We will not be mass-murdered by Arab and European nations anymore! We will not be sovereign-less and vulnerable to Arab and European Colonizers of Indigenous Peoples’ lands!
This is why the Jewish people had to forcibly decolonize for the third time in our people’s history on our ancestral land, and why we’d rather live in a militarized police state for our Indigenous People’s very survival – until “Palestinian” *Arabs* and Imperial Europeans end their violent hatred and genocides toward us.
Support Indigenous Peoples land Rights and right to self-sovereignty upon it! Fight Arab and European Colonizer racist occupation and supremacy upon Indigenous Peoples’ lands – by seeking Truth and Reconciliation in *every* Christian, Muslim, and Marxist dominated society!

We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are! I know! History hurts us. This is why we do not want to learn history. Look out the window this time, and not back at the indoctrination bookshelf.
