    They don’t care. Conflating being Jewish as being a Zionist is the entire point of what they are doing. They don’t give a fuck if this hurts Jewish people because the only thing they care about is creating a pure white Israel.

      In fact, they want to increase antisemitism around the world. The state of Israel faces demographic challenges, namely that the Arab population has historically had a higher fertility rate, so it has been relying on immigration to ensure that the Jewish population growth rate outpaces the Arab one. If Jewish people feel unsafe enough in the countries where they live, more of them may be driven to make aliyah.

      (Also, there’s been an uptick in emigration from the state of Israel since the Oct. 7th attack, which AFAICT has not been significant in sheer numbers, but a worrying trend for the leaders. Antisemitism around the world makes leaving less attractive.)

      They aren’t white. They are Semitic. Same as the Palestinians.

      Whatever white actually is… in the United States people used to say Irish people were not white… so, white doesn’t really mean much.

          Also probably why they have shot so many Israelis in friendly fire… it’s not possible to tell by looking who is Israeli and who is Palestinian.

            Which is funny because Israel’s like to claim that there is zero relation between them and the Palestinians, but take a look at Steve Miller’s wife and try not to laugh.
