Aboriginal trailblazer. Olympic champion. Former Senator. Truth-teller.In this compelling conversation, Ariel Whitman speaks with Nova Peris — the first Indigenous Australian to win Olympic gold and the first Aboriginal woman elected to Australia's federal parliament.Drawing from her lived experience as a member of a colonized people, Peris offers a powerful and deeply personal rejection of the claim that Israel is a “settler-colonial” state. Instead, she argues that Israel is a true anti-colonial movement — a return of an indigenous people to their ancestral homeland.This episode challenges dominant narratives, exposes the moral inconsistency of modern activism, and reminds us what real indigeneity means.Topics include:– Why calling Israel “colonial” is historically false– The deep bond between Aboriginal and Jewish communities– The rise of antisemitism in Australia after October 7– The corruption of sport and culture by anti-Israel politics– Nova’s resignation from activist movements over anti-Israel extremism📌 Watch, share, and join the conversation to uncover what’s really at stake.📌 Support the channel by buying me coffee! ☕️https://buymeacoffee.com/westernspiritChapters00:00Introduction to Nova Paris01:06Reflections on the Recent Australian Election02:53The Impact of Political Choices on Communities04:27Addressing Anti-Semitism in Australia06:37The Historical Context of Indigenous and Jewish Relations12:44Personal Stories of Pain and Resilience18:54Land Rights and Historical Injustices20:51Solidarity Between Indigenous and Jewish Communities21:34Understanding Colonialism and Its Impacts24:05Challenging Misconceptions About Israel25:02Spirituality and Coexistence in Israel26:27Historical Reflections and Contributions of Jewish Soldiers30:05Challenging Assumptions About Muslim Voters32:23Cultural Integration and National Identity35:30The Role of Sports in Promoting Equality39:08Discrimination in Sports and the Olympic Spirit44:12Artistic Expression Amidst Conflict
