Viewing colonisation as a struggle through which land is won is something I argue Australians can learn from Americans. ‘Stolen land’ narratives rely on hiding the warring history of colonial English vs Aboriginals and instead telling a one sided story.

Charlie Kirk never got to see America’s 250th birthday. So, in his honor, watch him shut down the typical liberal “stolen land” argument. A college student confronts Kirk and says Americans are living on “stolen land” taken from the Mexicans. Kirk asks who the Mexicans stole it from, then expertly turns his own words against him. By the end, everyone is cheering for America. Watch how this one plays out. STUDENT: “I want to acknowledge the fact that we are right now on stolen land and that we are on indigenous land and that we are on original Mexican land right now.” KIRK: “I love this stolen land argument.” STUDENT: “…I really make it a point to notice that I’m on stolen land at all times, especially when we think about things like Manifest Destiny.” KIRK: “Who did the Mexicans steal the land from?” STUDENT: “Actually, the Mexicans were there originally in Texas…” KIRK: “Wrong. They stole it from lots of Indian tribes… Texas was not indigenously Mexican… there was the Cherokee. There were many different Native American tribes there. So Mexico was participating in Manifest Destiny at the behest of the Spanish crown.” [Student acknowledges Kirk is right] KIRK: “At some point, you have to believe in self-determination. If you can win the land, it’s yours. That is what built the West.” STUDENT: “I can agree with that.” KIRK: “So instead of a land acknowledgement… you should have a gratitude acknowledgement. ‘Praise God, I live in America! I’m glad!’ A gratitude acknowledgement would be nice.” [Crowd erupts] Charlie would have loved to experience America’s 250th birthday more than anyone. He defended America on campuses exactly like this one until the day he died. The least we can do is carry his message forward. Rest in Peace, Legend.

🇸🇴Down the Money Lane🇸🇴 In the 19th and early 20th centuries (as recently as the 1950s), Ethiopia, with the help of European colonizers, took control of a vast somali land known as Western #Somalia, or #Ogaden, now referred to as the Somali Region of #Ethiopia. In 1977-78, #Somalis from that region rose in revolt, and the government of Somalia came to their aid. Together, they liberated their land. At that time, Ethiopia was led by a Marxist-Leninist military regime. Somalis captured nearly all of their territory, and as the map shows, they were close to reaching Addis Ababa. The Warsaw Pact, led by the Soviet Union, then entered the war to support their client state and ally in the Horn of Africa. Against the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact forces, which included troops from Cuba and South Yemen, Somalia could not hold its ground and ultimately had to retreat. Yet, Somalis everywhere, including those who lived and still live under leaders like Abiy and other colonial figures, have never forgotten how their land was taken through treachery, and how, in reality, they remain colonized. Today, when Somalis hear external powers pushing Ethiopia’s agendas or offering “whataboutism” in response to Ethiopia’s annexation and dismemberment schemes, they are reminded of past treachery and injustices. And when Abiy now speaks of seizing Somalia’s sea, Somalis conclude that conceding Western Somalia only whetted the colonial appetite. The song “Galbeed waa la xoreeyey” (The West is Liberated) stands as one of the most powerful informal Somali anthems, declaring that the land is Somali land, and the struggle continues. It is sung by the revered band Waberi, led by the legendary Somali singer Hassan Adan Samatar. Lyrics: West, we have liberated, West, we have liberated, West, we have liberated. Warsaw has interfered, But the occupier will not sleep easy. The struggle continues, This is Somali land. The land! This is Somali land. We have won victory, We have won victory, We have won victory. Warsaw has interfered, But the occupier will not sleep easy. The struggle continues, This is Somali land. The land! This is Somali land. 1/2 (See below — next post — as event occur then in real time!)

Tu B’Shvat is a holiday which is deeply tied to the land of Israel. It’s a reminder that Judaism is an indigenous faith rooted in the seasons and the fruits of this land. The seven species mentioned in the Bible, wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates, aren’t just symbolic. They represent a tangible connection to an ancient agricultural heritage and the physical land that shaped Jewish identity. In the Middle Ages, the custom developed to celebrate Tu B’Shvat with a feast of fruits. And in the 16th century, the Kabbalist rabbi, Yitzchak Luria, instituted a Tu B’Shvat seder, which is similar to the Passover seder, in which Jews all over the diaspora were able to reconnect to the land of Israel through eating her indigenous fruits. According to Kabbalah, when you eat fruits from the trees, it helps a human soul evolve. And Judaism is about being present to every single thing that you do and everything that you eat as well. Tu B’Shvat reminds us that Judaism and the land of Israel are inseparable. The roots of the Jewish people are right here. And to celebrate Tu B’Shvat is to celebrate Zionism, not as a modern political movement, but as a profound acknowledgement of a people’s enduring bond with the land of their ancestors. The land of Israel isn’t just a backdrop to Jewish history. It’s part of the story itself. And every seed sown, every tree planted, and every fruit harvested and eaten is a continuation of that story. Chag Tu B’Shvat Sameach, everyone. 🍃

Petaluma High School in California is making their students do “land acknowledgements” that they understand they are “living on stolen land” Parent confronts the school board and also shows her child’s English class is teaching them to “hide underage sex from their parents” and “gender confusion” “This teacher has also implemented other of her politicized ideology, which I just think does not belong in school at all, let alone in English class, having our children do land acknowledgments and letting them know that they're on stolen land. I've had my daughter come home extremely confused on this matter, on why they are being guilted into feeling like they have an issue for just living here and being who they are” “As a concerned parent about things that are happening at Petaluma High School. Recently, my child brought home material as in homework from Petaluma High School that was inappropriate and extremely suggestive. This came from her English class. I trust the school to educate and to not turn their English class into a sex and gender studies class. The book they're currently reading has themes of sex and hiding underage sex from your parents, gender confusion and body dysmorphia.” “This is not an isolated incident. Ms. LaShawn has assigned on more than one occasion work centered on sexuality, gender, and politicized themes that do not belong in an English class of minors. There's a clear pattern”
