Ben M. Freeman’s latest book, The Jews: An Indigenous People, is the first scholarly work to definitively establish that Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel. Freeman’s research, based on history, archaeology, epigraphy, and the United Nations' criteria for indigeneity, presents an irrefutable case for the Jewish people’s indigenous ties to Israel.

Released in the aftermath of the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, this publication arrives at a time when Israel’s legitimacy and the Jewish connection to the land are under increasing attack. The Jews: An Indigenous People is essential for helping Jews define and understand their identities, and for non-Jewish allies to better understand the Jewish experience. As such, it serves as a vital defence of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel; a right increasingly denied in today’s world.

Ben M. Freeman’s book is more than a deep exploration of Jewish history and identity; it is indispensable in the ongoing fight for Jewish dignity and self-determination in the face of a world that challenges its very existence. Join us as we explore what it means to be Indigenous and the importance of this understanding today.
