    Yeah, now. That’s because they imported Jews from everywhere they could to become Israeli. It started as a European settler project.

    But if you look at the positions of power, the government and businesses and celebrities, you’ll see mostly white faces. Israel definitely has a white supremacist bent to it - you don’t think an Ethiopian Jew will ever be the prime minister do you?

    America’s white majority is going to disappear too, but you don’t think that will actually end American white supremacy right?

        If they were given their own settler colony and started being treated as an equal by all the other white countries? Yes.

        I wouldn’t consider a European Jew before the formation of Israel to be white, but they’re sure as fuck white now.

          If someone of white European heritage burns down a synagogue frequented by what you consider people of white European heritage, would you still consider that racist given they’re the same race? Or would you consider that less racist than someone burning down a church frequented by black people?

            It is almost like Jewish people have a conditional relationship with whiteness. The idf soldiers bombing children’s hospitals certainly are capital W White.
