Hi there this is Brian of London in my
bomb shelter in the sky one day I'll explain
[7]
that to you. In London I talked about
indigenous jews jews who are indigenous
[13]
to israel and it turns out that actually
judaism is indigenous to israel but why
[19]
how do I know this there is actually a
United Nations approved definition of
[26]
indigenous that's what it's called it
was developed by a chap called Martin his
[33]
copay who was working as Martinez Kobo
[39]
I don't know the pronunciation probably
these special rapport indigenous
[45]
communities people the nation's and he
came out with a working definition that
[49]
has been accepted now there's a problem
with it which I will go over at the end
[54]
but I want to read to you six criteria
that are listed in this document and
[63]
just talked about how do you fit them
now all of this work is based on what
[69]
I've learned from Ryan bellerose and
he's a pic post on israeli cool who's
[76]
indigenous but let's talk about it in a
video so this historical continuity this
[84]
is from the definition this is from the
UN approved definition of indigenous
[88]
peoples day it says this historical
continuity may consist of the
[93]
continuation for an extended period
reaching into the present of one or more
[98]
of the following factors ok so these are
the factors that some people have to
[104]
have in order to be called indigenous
[107]
occupation of ancestral lands or at
least part of them and in this context
[114]
occupation means occupation by someone
else so jews yes our ancestral lands
[121]
Israel have been occupied by the Romans
[128]
the British solid in the curdled in the
muslims we've we've we can take a lot of
[136]
boxes to occupation of our ancestral
land since they were ours be common
[143]
ancestry with the original occupants
these labs well that's that's just
[149]
touching out DNA quite literally this
one see this is the big one actually
[155]
culture in general or in specific
manifestations such as religion yes i'd
[164]
say that the Jewish religion is related
to Israel seeing as how we mention it in
[169]
our holy books which have become the
holy books for a good proportion of
[174]
probably a third or more of the world if
we include all the questions so yeah I
[179]
think religion is tied quite
categorically to this land
[183]
it says also living under a tribal
system well we got some tribes in
[189]
Judaism and they have different parts of
the land allocated to them again goes
[195]
back to the Bible remember that's a
foundational texts for a good third or
[200]
more of the world and to be honest we
could even include muslims cuz they
[204]
kinda subsume most of the Old Testament
even if they get it wrong number three
[210]
membership of an indigenous community
yes that's us Jews dress well ok we have
[220]
some Jews unfortunately stereotypically
the ones that are always picked out to
[225]
wear black hats and long black coats and
look like they are dressed appropriately
[231]
for a Polish ghetto yes they dress like
that the rest of us do not now do we
[238]
walk around in the same God people wore
the in 1004 the Common Era no we don't
[245]
cause that would be see clothes have
changed a little bit since then so we
[250]
don't wear the same clothes but we know
what they did wear and some people do
[256]
dress somewhat like that means of
livelihood is the next one
[261]
ok I'm not a big expert on this but the
oldest profession in the world is p.m.
[269]
it's represented here in Israel other
professions fishing yeah we kinda do
[275]
that that's mentioned in the Bible a lot
we grow we grow grapes and make wine and
[282]
other foods also mentioned in this
foundational text called the Bible yeah
[288]
I'd say that our means of livelihood
best some relationship to the means of
[292]
livelihood of people's living in this
land three four thousand years ago
[298]
lifestyle you know yes we follow the
same calendar that they followed we
[307]
follow a different calendar to the rest
of the world we we divide up our
[312]
our year not by this solar calendar that
the rest of world uses which is fixed
[319]
only on Tuesdays 31st of December and
middle of the year solstices we we we
[325]
don't find out how I'm here that way we
we divide up how you by the Jewish
[330]
calendar which is incredibly complex and
and breathtaking in the way it seems to
[336]
align with the with the seasons in this
country as I pointed out in blog post
[342]
always seems to rain on the way around
strange so yet we've got all of them so
[349]
that so this was actually this was seen
this was the third of these things and
[353]
it included religion living under a
tribal system membership of an
[357]
indigenous membership of an indigenous
community dress means of livelihood
[362]
lifestyle all of those we take D design
which this is a good one
[369]
whether used as the only language as
mother time as the habitual means of
[373]
communication at home or in the family
or in the main general normal language
[378]
well yes all of the above we we use
hebrew now we did resurrect it it wasn't
[384]
a it wasn't a widely spoken language but
became so when do started moving back to
[392]
Israel in large numbers and that was a
deliberate that was a deliberate choice
[396]
it's been our language of prayer for
millennia thousands of years but and and
[403]
it was a controversial act actually many
religious people don't quite agree with
[408]
the use of hebrew is a day-to-day
language but whatever the case
[412]
overriding their religious concerns we
did it we speak Hebrew ok I'm not so
[421]
great early shabbat shalom you know I
can I can get my
[427]
if I have to but yeah we speak Hebrew
and that is definitely tied back to
[435]
ancient times we keep digging up coins
with liberal writing on it that I can
[439]
read even I can read it now
[442]
residents on certain parts of the
country this is e or in certain regions
[446]
of the world well yes jews never left
[449]
ok you know I'm numbers declined but we
never quite completed leaving we were
[454]
inspired in jerusalem we when we were in
shambles nablus the arabs now call it we
[463]
were in all those places continuously
populations declined but we never ever
[468]
left and other relevant
[471]
well every which way you look at it
[475]
Jews are indigenous to israel and the
last part I read it says on an
[482]
individual basis and indigenous person
is one who belongs to these indigenous
[486]
populations through self identification
as indigenous group consciousness and is
[493]
recognized and accepted by these
populations as one of its members
[497]
acceptance by the group ok so what that
same is that indigenous people as a
[505]
group
[506]
get to choose who are indigenous so it's
Benji and only jews to decide now we've
[513]
we've got a complex system here in
Israel of letting the revenue decide
[518]
having different criteria whose and I'll
to make Aliotti returned home and to
[524]
live in the land of israel but it's our
decision its juice over jews
[531]
so by every measure of by every measure
possible and this is a great checklist
[537]
Jews are indigenous to Israel
[542]
there is a slight problem with this UN
definition and that's because that comes
[547]
at the start which I didn't read but I
read from the start it is indigenous
[553]
communities peoples and nations are
those which having a historical
[560]
continuity with pre-invasion and
pre-colonial societies that developed on
[566]
their territories consider themselves
distinct from other sectors of the
[570]
Society's now prevailing on those
territories or parts of ok then it goes
[577]
on they form at present known dominant
sectors of society and are determined to
[582]
preserve develop and transmitted to
future generations
[586]
their ancestral territory in their
ethnic identity ok here's the big
[590]
problem with this definition and I'll
leave with this is the big problem the
[595]
problem is that the definition only
includes indigenous people who are
[600]
dispossessed who have gone Jews were
dispossessed any 1948 we got it back we
[608]
are the success story for all indigenous
people and this UN definition is crafted
[614]
he written to kind of writers out to
save the only definition of the
[619]
indigenous people of those who are still
wandering around trying to get their
[625]
land well I'm sorry I reject stuff we
were Indigenous before we got Israel
[632]
back in 1948 and by Jove we continue to
be indigenous in 2000 and 69 forevermore
[640]
because we will always be indigenous to
this land as long as our culture the
[645]
Jewish culture the jewish spirit the
jewish the jewish in normandy because it
[652]
is so enormous everything that we've
done and given to the world and and
[656]
built and and put out there that his
Jewishness and all of it started here
[662]
doesn't matter where Abraham was born
between Abraham came to this land
[667]
judaism crime and that's what makes
[671]
judaism indigenous to Israel so for me
Bryant of London indigenous Brian of
[680]

and see you the next time I put one of
[686]
these together and of course I have my
indigenous Gold Star beer while I
