(Ancestralbrew) This video unravels the DNA (genetic) history of the Palestinian people. They are the indigenous people of "Israel," which the British colonial rulers were happy to call Palestine before Ashkenazi (Germanic) "Jews" decided it was their (holy) land and they were coming back to take it by genocide or a settler colonial (setting up a colony then settling it themselves) project, the way other Western peoples like Americans in the USA had stolen land for themselves from 100,000,000 indigenous people living here when Europeans arrived to exploit the land and lay claim to worlds unknown. It's usual to say, "We were here first" and thereby claim a land, as if it is just being restored to its original owners. But this is about "might makes right," the American motto and excuses (like "manifest destiny") dreamed up to cloak crimes against humanity as following a higher justice, God's justice, biblical justice, scientific racism's justice, anyone's justice because, in matters like these, any excuse will do. It can be corrected, reframed, restated, and reinvented later.
