Indigenous Solidarity

2023-11-25 The War in Gaza Has Galvanized the Global Indigenous Solidarity Movement The common element of “decolonization”—in all its manifestations—has created intersectional links among various struggles around the world.
For decades, the struggle for national liberation in Palestine was rightly understood to be part and parcel of a global struggle for liberation, mainly in the Global South. And since national liberation movements were, per definition, the struggle for Indigenous people to assert their collective rights for freedom, equality, and justice, the Palestinian struggle was positioned as part of this global Indigenous movement. Alas, the collapse of the Soviet Union; the growing dominance of the United States and its allies; and the return of Western colonialism in the form of neocolonialism to Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere, have localized many of the Indigenous movements’ struggles. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/gaza-indigenous-solidarity-movement
2023-11-05 Indigenous solidarity with Palestine w/ Uahikea Maile and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson TRN Podcast co-hosts Nick Estes is joined by TRN comrades Uahikea Maile and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson to discuss the profoundly linked struggles between Native people in Palestine and Turtle Island and the public letter signed by over 132 Native activists, artists, and intellectuals in solidarity with Palestine.
“As Indigenous peoples, we condemn the increase in anti-Palestinian, anti-Islamic, and anti-Arab violence everywhere. We condemn the increase in anti-Indigenous violence everywhere. We condemn anti-Jewish violence everywhere. We condemn punishing workers, students, artists, politicians, and academics for supporting Palestinian liberation. We recognize that Zionism is a form of racism and a colonial ideology that does not represent the views of all Jewish people throughout the world.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRaFbSRqe-o
