I Am A First Nations Zionist: A Fireside Chat With Karen Restoule, Member Of The Dokis First Nation
Listen now
Description
For many years, anti-Israel activists have attempted to turn Zionism into a dirty word, reframing it from the Jewish People's national movement of self-determination in their historic homeland into a mishmash of everything that is wrong with the world. But Zionism is not just for Jews. In fact, anyone who recognizes the reality that the Jewish People are owners, not occupiers, of the land of Israel can be reasonably called a Zionist. Recognizing this is not only an embrace of historical reality, but it also can inspire other groups around the world, including right here in Canada. In this week's podcast, we sit down with Karen Restoule. She is a member of the Dokis First Nation from northern Ontario, and a self-described Zionist, for her take on what national liberation movements mean from Canada to Israel, and her thoughts on how anti-Israel groups have sought to hijack First Nations terms for their own benefit.
