Indigenous Zionism at Concordia University

Some time ago, scholars gathered in Montreal, Canada, to discuss “Jewish conceptions of indigeneity in Zionist thought”—that is, Zionist indigeneity and its Jewish roots (rather than the fabricated indigeneity of supposed “non-Jewish Israelis” or various “Canaanites”). They discussed the genuine indigeneity of a continuous and ancient Jewish people that was uprooted, exiled, and returned twice; a people that, until its return, maintained for centuries an indigenous attachment to the Land of Israel—like other indigenous peoples who survived and aspire to return.
