The Indigenous Embassy in Jerusalem does not represent a specific state or country. Rather, it embodies the voices of indigenous leaders and their people from across the world.

“I want to apologize to the people of Israel for the horrible thing the South African government did. We are sorry.” Regent Xami Thomas, leader of the Khoi Kingdom of Southern Africa, delivered this message to a packed audience at the Friends of Zion Museum (FOZ) in the heart of Jerusalem on the night of February 1. The crowd cheered their approval.

Emphasis mine: this is the only Indigenous group present that was named in the article. Other groups are only mentioned by their origin country.

The guest list for the evening included ambassadors, several tribal chiefs, a princess, and a king. One by one, the indigenous leaders – all committed Christians who love and support Israel – took to the stage, bringing messages of hope, love, and encouragement to the Jewish people.

Amen.

I decided to challenge my world view and type "indigenous solidarity with Israel" into google and got slapped in the face by the real world.

While they're massacring the natives who've been there for 2000 years? What?

Also what an astonishing lack of people of color, what a complete surprise from Israel to discriminate against actual natives

I love your pronouns. I love your name. "ZWQbpkzl" is that French?
