It’s actually extremely informative to compare the justifications and history of Zionism to the rhetoric of other settler colonial projects in North America, Australia, and Southern Africa

Fuck I meant the dipshit was claiming that the natives in Canada were no indigenous because they were “nomadic”

There’s so much shit to break down there. Like why tf would that mean someone isn’t indigenous? Settlers often used that to claim native people weren’t sufficiently “using the land” but that wouldn’t invalidate indigeneity. Like ffs one of the alternative meanings for indigenous is used to refer to groups who are not connected to global capitalist systems.

Also, unsurprisingly, a misunderstanding of indigenous Canadian lifeways. Some groups could be described as truly nomadic. Others were semi-sedentary agriculturalists. And some, like the Tlingit and Haida, had large permanent winter villages and fairly stratified societies.

Also, I must add. I don’t get how this connects to Zionism considering most Palestinians were not nomadic (though Bedouins were)
