[quote]Leading left-wing figures Lidia Thorpe and Tasmanian
Indigenous leader Michael Mansell say Palestine will form a key
part of their Invasion Day messages, as they look to drive the
wider Indigenous movement in a more radical direction
post-referendum.[/quote]
Thank you!
[quote]But Yes campaign leaders Sean Gordon and Mark Leibler
said tying the two movements to each other would “alienate” the
Jewish community from Indigenous gatherings and deprive the
Aboriginal rights movement of much needed allies.[/quote]
That's the point! Palestinians are part of our folk! Jews are

Continuing:
[quote]The event page for Sydney’s Invasion Day Rally, organised
by The Blak Caucus, features a list of nine demands, including
ending the “war on black kids”, ceasing forced removal of
children, shutting down youth prisons and prosecuting officials
over black deaths in custody.
The seventh demand from the “First Nations organising
collective” urges the government to “cut ties with and impose
sanctions on colonial, apartheid Israel until Palestine is
free”. Independent Senator Thorpe said Palestine would form a
key part of her Invasion Day message and urged people to join
her on January 26 in “extending our solidarity to the people of
Palestine”.
“Palestinians know what the trauma of invasion, of
dispossession, state violence and occupation is like. Just as
First Peoples in this country do,” she told The Australian.
“This year on Invasion Day I’ll be inviting people to join me in
extending our solidarity to the people of Palestine – to the
innocent people struggling under brutal Israeli government
violence in Gaza and the West Bank.
“We share a reality of ongoing genocide and are both yet to
experience liberation and the acknowledgment of our
sovereignty. Our struggle under settler-colonialism is one
struggle. Together we’re fighting for our humanity, for freedom,
for land back and for lasting peace.”
More than 100 people have so far responded to an event called
the “Palestinian Contingent to the Invasion Day Rally”, also
held at Belmore Park in Sydney, in which “the Palestinian
community joins First Nations in demanding the abolishing of …
‘Australia Day’ ”.
“From Gadigal to Gaza: Colonisation, occupation and land theft
is a crime. Our collective liberations are intrinsically
linked,” information for an event hosted by The Blak Caucus and
Palestine Justice Movement Sydney, reads.
...
Ahmed Abadla, from the Palestine Justice Movement Sydney, said
the purpose of the Palestinian contingent was to “highlight the
huge similarities between the two” movements.[/quote]
This is what folkism looks like!

Historical Folkism
[quote]In 1521, a few months after Ponce de León died from thigh
poisoning, conquistadors landed on the present-day South
Carolina coastline. The Spanish crew completed a preliminary
survey, but, to prove that they had “discovered” new territory,
they kidnapped sixty natives and brought them back to
Hispaniola. Excited about the prospects of bling, Spanish
bureaucrat Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón wrote to Spain and assured
the crown that he wasn’t as stupid as Ponce. He even took one of
his captives back to Spain to testify that there was no danger
at all in South Carolina. After exploring the coastline once
more in 1525, Ayllón eventually returned to the shores of South
Carolina on August 9, 1526. With him, he brought more than six
hundred passengers who were ready to fulfill his new colonizing
contract with Spain. Along with hopeful residents, supplies, and
even livestock, Ayllón brought dozens of African slaves.
One reason Ayllón isn’t known as one of the great explorers of
his time is that he was terrible at exploring. He crashed a ship
and lost most of his supplies on the first day. Then, in
November,9 the angry indigenous people joined the enslaved
Africans and organized America’s first slave revolt, setting
fire to buildings in the settlement. Ayllón and his ragtag band
of colonizers hopped back on their ships and jetted back to
where the good, sane white people were, leaving everything
behind. Of the six hundred who arrived with Ayllón, only 150
made it back to safety.
No one knows what happened to the enslaved Africans who revolted
at San Miguel de Gualdape. Only a few returned with Ayllón, and
most historians assume they assimilated with the Native
Americans. Several tribes in North and South Carolina, including
the Lumbee, trace their heritage back to a mixture of indigenous
people, whites, and African Americans. What we do know for sure
is that both African and Native American populations had one
thing in common: resistance.[/quote]
