It is a very important point because it calls the Israeli/Jewish population for capitalizing on their inherent racial privilege. It is also how Israel is able to manipulate so much media. The Western world has significant implicit (and overt) bias against Arabs and Muslims and Israel takes advantage because they are generally white and Euro looking.


The media is decidedly pro-Palestinian. What are you even talking about?
And Israelis are NOT generally white and "Euro-looking", whatever that means.


Jews are white. Israeli propaganda machine banks on that to garner sympathy in the western world. People like you don't care much about brown people so how on Earth would Israel finagle so much money out of the US tax payer without leveraging race?



This has NOTHING to do with race.
Israel gets money from the US for strategic purposes.


And why? Because Jews are deemed as the preferable "white" alternative to Arabs.
Read a book. That is precisely why the Brits offered Kenya to the Jews in the "Uganda Scheme". They needed the land settled with white colonists and believed Jews to be white and loyal to the crown. They were offered the land in place of sending British settlers to colonize Kenya precisely because of their race.



Read better books.

You will not see hate, violence or call for genocide at the #MarchForIsrael in DC today.

What you will see:

People’s faces— we’re not ashamed because our cause is just.

You will see them cry— we’re grieving.

You will see them sing for peace— we still believe in true justice.

You will see them thanking the authorities— we appreciate their hard work.

You will see them recognizing the pain of innocent Palestinians— we believe in humanity.

You will se them standing in unity— as we come together for peace.


+1


Though you know why some people-Palestinian protestors cover their faces right? It’s because they gave doxxing and loss of jobs and livelihoods if identified as supporting Palestinian human rights.

Where are all y’all “supporters of justice” at when law firms, investment banks, and universities start firing people for their political views?

I don’t want your brand of justice. I want full civil rights.


DP.

Youve got full civil rights.

You just want to support Hamas without anyone knowing who you really are.

I am SO glad that people have been outed and fired for their reprehensible behavior.

It’s a testament to human decency and the rejection of hate.


There is not a thing in the world wrong with supporting the Palestinian cause. That’s not hate. You know what is? The deliberate conflation by bigots of all Palestinians with terrorists. That’s an attempt to deny an entire nation of human value. Is that the decency you’re supporting?


PP from above. I actually have zero civil rights. At any moment, an Israel occupation soldier can come into my house, occupy it, kick us out, shoot my son, force us to leave our house through the back windows because only Jews can walk on the street in front. I cannot vote, I cannot travel, I cannot protest Israeli transgressions of law.

What I want is full civil rights. Call it Israel, call it Shangri La. I don’t really care. I just want what Jewish Israelis have.

Folks, we have now entered the post-post parody stage of posts, with posts like this.


They're completely out to lunch.

Barbara Tuchman actually talks about it at length in Sword and Bible. Tuchman is renowned Jewish historian and scholar who won the Pulitzer Prize and she goes into great detail re: the Uganda Scheme and the impetus for UK's offer to the Jews. It is quite interesting. I suggest you read it.

Or a hope that you guys will stop calling for the genocide of an entire people? How can you be so nonplussed by this?


The attempted genocide was, of course, by Hamas. All I see is a methodical and to date successful campaign against Hamas by the IDF. But there are many, many miles to go in that campaign. The degree to which Hamas militarized Gaza is simply psychopathic.


The close mindedness of people defending Israel is crazy. I wish you would try to see more nuance (or at least notice the thousands of civilians being killed by Israel).


What nuance is there when it comes to needing to dismantle a rabidly antisemitic entity, Hamas, that has vowed to kill, and has slaughtered, Jews? Any loss of innocent lives is a circumstance that is to be deemed regrettable, but a) IDF runs its targeting decisions through multiple, excruciating levels of review, and therefore b) any loss of innocent lives in Gaza, an unfortunate occurrence, is therefore on Hamas. I am also skeptical of Hamas’ self-reported casualty totals.

Nuance is fine where nuance is warranted. Just saying “nuance! nuance!” for the sake of saying it is weird.


So sad to see Americans be so blind.

Obviously you aren’t there or you wouldn’t say this. Absolutely no one is marching to support genocide and almost every speaker has mentioned innocent Palestinian lives lost and hopes for peace in the region. Sorry that it doesn’t fit in with your narrative.


Zionism explicitly calls for genocide. This march was all for the complete abolition of the Palestinian people and their removal from their generational homeland. Yes, we save Van Jones call for peace - and then we saw the pro-genocide crowd break into "no ceasefire" chants.

These people are complete and utter monsters. I don't think there's anyway that Israel can recover its image from this - at least not from those that believe in human rights. The far right and evangelicals love it because they also believe in mass extermination of those that they deem unworthy. Couldn't have found better bedfellows.

You are completely delusional.


What I call delusional are the pro-genocide denialists who pretend like they haven't been in favor of displacing millions of Palestinians from their homes. When you takeover land that has millions of native inhabitants, what do you think will happen to them? Zionism is colonialism and we should not be having valid discussions on these issues in 2023. The fact that you believe the right of Palestinians born and raised in the region can be displaced by immigrants from Europe and the US who had not stepped foot in Palestinian for 2000 years is shocking and abhorrent.

We need to start calling Israel out for the war crimes and terrorism that it has undertaken daily for the past 75 years.

The Palestinians could have had their own state, but they rejected it and launched a new intifada. The Israelis left the Gaza Strip in 2005, and Hamas decided to turn it into a terrorism factory, rather than improve life for their own people. They are largely reaping what they sowed.

You're just another empty-headed progressive, bleating vapid propaganda phrases. Your understanding of history, or lack thereof, is just embarrassing and sad. You should go back to tearing down posters of kidnapped Israeli kids and threatening Jewish college girls, rather than trying to talk with adults.


Honestly, STFU. We're so tired of these lies. Israel offered crap terms with no right of return, no safety for Palestinians and no right to E Jerusalem. There were zero bona fide efforts by them. Israel deliberately gave crappy deals so that people like you could then say "but but the Palestinians!!!".

Israelis are murderous terrorists who stole land and killed natives. They've been on a misinformation binge for 75 years trying to rewrite history to center them as the victims. It is BS and we are not buying it any more. Everything that Israel has claimed has been a lie and we have seen it in real time.

While you cry for another genocide, we're trying to prevent it. We know what side of history that you are on.

Listen, kid, I'm not some Jewish college student you and your Hamas-loving buddies can bully and scare into silence.

You've been brainwashed by anti-Semitic propaganda, and now go around bleating catchphrases that you think make you look deep and progressive. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point. You probably list your pronouns in all your social media, and begin every meeting with a land acknowledgment.

Your Hamas homies are now discovering that it's a lot less fun to face the IDF, as opposed to murdering and raping unarmed teenagers and the elderly.


No, I've actually read the history. Jews landed from Europe to settle the Palestinian Territory. There were millions of natives there. They killed and displaced them. They burned villages, stole homes, raped women and forced thousands into exile. They've since forced the remaining natives into a military dictatorship and apartheid.

how you guys continue to support that becuase you are the "chosen ones" is really beyond any normal comprehension. It is kool-aid level cult derangement.


Why would a bunch of white Europeans spend nearly a hundred years fighting over a pile of sand in the middle east?

Hint: that's where they're actually from. They were in Europe because they were exiled there.


This is so ridiculous. My ancestors came across the Bering Straight when it was a block of ice. Do I get to kill Russians and Chinese to take their land?


Were you exiled from Russia?


Sure! I bet they were all kicked out. Does that mean I get to call for genocide? Seems a pretty easy pass. We would all get to engage in ethnic cleansing that way. What a great way to bond as a people. I guess when you have no sense of morality, it tracks


Why aren’t the Jews kicking the Germans and Poles off the land? They’re the ones who conducted the Holocaust. They should have to cede their land to pay for their crimes.


Jews aren't from Germany and Poland.


Wut. You must think we’re crazy. That is absolutely where Ashkenazi Jews are from. That’s why Yiddish is a Germanic language.


Why didn't Jews in Germany just speak German then?


Because those Jews WHO WERE IN GERMANY were a distinct ethnic group IN GERMANY. There were also Jews in Palestine during the Holocaust. They were not in Germany. In fact there are Jews all over the world. And yet it was the Jews who lived in Europe who suffered the horrors. So let Europe pay for it.


Glad you finally admitted that Jews aren't German, but just lived there.


Of course they were German. That’s the biggest horror of the Holocaust. That Europeans could do this to their own people. The fact that the Ashkenazi Jews were a victim of Nazis does not make them non-European. It makes them European victims of Europeans. What it does not make them is entitled to steal non-Europeans’ land.


That's the whole point. Germany owes them, not Palestine.



So you think Ashkenazi Jews should go to Germany and I presume you think Sephardic Jews should go to Spain and Mizrahi Jews can stay in Israel?
How do you propose to do that?
Jews are Jews. We all originated from the same place.


I don’t think Ethiopian Jews would appreciate that view.

So many babies are dying because of Israel’s attacks on hospitals and lack of power for incubators.

They even had to dig mass graves for people.

I believe it is a rally supporting Israel, to fight against anti-Semitism, and also a call to release the hostages.


It is a rally to call for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians people. And because they get $300B to do it, I guess they're pretty comfortable in their request.


senior member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government said on Tuesday Gaza could not survive as an independent entity, and Palestinians there should agree to “voluntary emigration” and leave for other countries. The finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said: “I welcome the initiative of the voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world. This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the entire region after 75 years of refugees, poverty and danger. The state of Israel will no longer be able to accept the existence of an independent entity in Gaza.”


Does anyone think that point of the war is not ethnic cleansing, or to quote dcum posters ethnic cleansing of people who brought it on themselves?
I think Netanyahu knows that Gaza is bombed beyond repair


The USA should accept them as asylum seeking refugees escaping tyranny based on their religion.


Arab countries too.


Arab countries have already accepted roughly 4M. You know, when Israel first kicked out the Palestinians. Remember they are the longest standing refugee group on the planet because Israel does not believe in human rights.


Point: They got kicked out because the Arabs refused to accept the presence of Jews, waged war on them, tried to eradicate them, and lost.

And the refugee camps are in large part a function of how poorly Arabs treat each other. They've never been accepted by other countries like Egypt or Jordan, it's frankly kind of sick that there are now people who have been in those countries for three and four generations now but still haven't been accepted or given citizenship or any rights. People are quick to call Israel apartheid but Jordan and other Arab countries have treated them with apartheid as well. Hamas stole money from the Palestinian people for decades and used it to fortify and arm themselves for this. Hamas has substantial stockpiles of fuel and supplies under the hospitals but won't provide any to the hospitals which need them, they are just standing by doing nothing while the Palestinians in their care die.

What it does not make them is entitled to steal non-Europeans’ land.


The entire point of the Holocaust was that Hitler saw Jews as a different race of people. NO ONE saw Jews as European. Modern day Europeans probably still don't see them as European.


That may be. Let’s assume it’s true. It still isn’t the fault of the Palestinians.


We were talking about Jews being European or not. They are not.
They are indigenous to Israel/Palestine, just as Palestinians are.


Ashkenazi Jews came to Palestine from Europe. The Palestinians did not invite them. The English, in their infinite generosity, decided to gift Palestinian land to people from Europe. I don’t blame the European Jews for wanting a place to live, but I do blame them for cleansing the land of everyone but Jews.


First of all DNA tests prove that Ashkenazi Jews have nearly 100% Levantine paternal ancestry. The studies vary on the amount of Levantine maternal ancestry they have. It looks like during Roman times, Jewish men arrived, as slaves and as merchants, from Israel to Italy and many took local brides. The closest European group to Ashkenazi Jews are Italians and specifically Tuscans. But Ashkenazi Jews are most closely related to Sephardic Jews and then to Mizrahi Jews. They are not very related to Germans, although there’s some Central European ancestry, but it’s a minuscule amount.

DNA doesn’t lie. Ashkenazi Jews are Middle Eastern. Fact.

Secondly, the vast majority of Ashkenazi Jews live in the US, not Israel. The majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi. They have always lived in the Middle East. They have no connection to Europe at all.

Thirdly, over 20% of Israelis are Arabs, most of whom are Muslim. They didn’t listen to Arab leaders, who in their anger at the formation of Israel told them to leave, so that they could push the Jews into the sea. No, these Arabs chose to stay and they live peacefully in Israel. They are in the government, the judiciary, the World Cup team and many.of them are even in the IDF.

So, how exactly did the Ashkenazi’s come over to Israel and kick everyone else out? That’s just not true.

Israelis are murderous terrorists who stole land and killed natives. They've been on a misinformation binge for 75 years trying to rewrite history to center them as the victims. It is BS and we are not buying it any more. Everything that Israel has claimed has been a lie and we have seen it in real time.

While you cry for another genocide, we're trying to prevent it. We know what side of history that you are on.

Listen, kid, I'm not some Jewish college student you and your Hamas-loving buddies can bully and scare into silence.

You've been brainwashed by anti-Semitic propaganda, and now go around bleating catchphrases that you think make you look deep and progressive. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point. You probably list your pronouns in all your social media, and begin every meeting with a land acknowledgment.

Your Hamas homies are now discovering that it's a lot less fun to face the IDF, as opposed to murdering and raping unarmed teenagers and the elderly.


No, I've actually read the history. Jews landed from Europe to settle the Palestinian Territory. There were millions of natives there. They killed and displaced them. They burned villages, stole homes, raped women and forced thousands into exile. They've since forced the remaining natives into a military dictatorship and apartheid.

how you guys continue to support that becuase you are the "chosen ones" is really beyond any normal comprehension. It is kool-aid level cult derangement.


Why would a bunch of white Europeans spend nearly a hundred years fighting over a pile of sand in the middle east?

Hint: that's where they're actually from. They were in Europe because they were exiled there.


This is so ridiculous. My ancestors came across the Bering Straight when it was a block of ice. Do I get to kill Russians and Chinese to take their land?


Were you exiled from Russia?


Sure! I bet they were all kicked out. Does that mean I get to call for genocide? Seems a pretty easy pass. We would all get to engage in ethnic cleansing that way. What a great way to bond as a people. I guess when you have no sense of morality, it tracks


Why aren’t the Jews kicking the Germans and Poles off the land? They’re the ones who conducted the Holocaust. They should have to cede their land to pay for their crimes.


Jews aren't from Germany and Poland.


Wut. You must think we’re crazy. That is absolutely where Ashkenazi Jews are from. That’s why Yiddish is a Germanic language.


Why didn't Jews in Germany just speak German then?


Because those Jews WHO WERE IN GERMANY were a distinct ethnic group IN GERMANY. There were also Jews in Palestine during the Holocaust. They were not in Germany. In fact there are Jews all over the world. And yet it was the Jews who lived in Europe who suffered the horrors. So let Europe pay for it.


Glad you finally admitted that Jews aren't German, but just lived there.


Of course they were German. That’s the biggest horror of the Holocaust. That Europeans could do this to their own people. The fact that the Ashkenazi Jews were a victim of Nazis does not make them non-European. It makes them European victims of Europeans. What it does not make them is entitled to steal non-Europeans’ land.


That's the whole point. Germany owes them, not Palestine.



So you think Ashkenazi Jews should go to Germany and I presume you think Sephardic Jews should go to Spain and Mizrahi Jews can stay in Israel?
How do you propose to do that?
Jews are Jews. We all originated from the same place.


I don’t think Ethiopian Jews would appreciate that view.


Ethiopian Jews are Jews, just like Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews.

Did you know that Ashkenazi Jews are genetically more similar to Ethiopian Jews than they are to Europeans?

I believe it is a rally supporting Israel, to fight against anti-Semitism, and also a call to release the hostages.


It is a rally to call for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians people. And because they get $300B to do it, I guess they're pretty comfortable in their request.


senior member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government said on Tuesday Gaza could not survive as an independent entity, and Palestinians there should agree to “voluntary emigration” and leave for other countries. The finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said: “I welcome the initiative of the voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world. This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the entire region after 75 years of refugees, poverty and danger. The state of Israel will no longer be able to accept the existence of an independent entity in Gaza.”


Does anyone think that point of the war is not ethnic cleansing, or to quote dcum posters ethnic cleansing of people who brought it on themselves?
I think Netanyahu knows that Gaza is bombed beyond repair


The USA should accept them as asylum seeking refugees escaping tyranny based on their religion.


Arab countries too.


Arab countries have already accepted roughly 4M. You know, when Israel first kicked out the Palestinians. Remember they are the longest standing refugee group on the planet because Israel does not believe in human rights.


Point: They got kicked out because the Arabs refused to accept the presence of Jews, waged war on them, tried to eradicate them, and lost.

And the refugee camps are in large part a function of how poorly Arabs treat each other. They've never been accepted by other countries like Egypt or Jordan, it's frankly kind of sick that there are now people who have been in those countries for three and four generations now but still haven't been accepted or given citizenship or any rights. People are quick to call Israel apartheid but Jordan and other Arab countries have treated them with apartheid as well. Hamas stole money from the Palestinian people for decades and used it to fortify and arm themselves for this. Hamas has substantial stockpiles of fuel and supplies under the hospitals but won't provide any to the hospitals which need them, they are just standing by doing nothing while the Palestinians in their care die.


That is a particular sick piece of propaganda. The reason that Arab countries refuse to treat Palestinians like their own citizens is because they refuse to aid and abet Israeli ethnic cleansing. You can be kind to refugees. They just want to go home.

Israel offered incubators. Offer refused.

It is a very important point because it calls the Israeli/Jewish population for capitalizing on their inherent racial privilege. It is also how Israel is able to manipulate so much media. The Western world has significant implicit (and overt) bias against Arabs and Muslims and Israel takes advantage because they are generally white and Euro looking.


The media is decidedly pro-Palestinian. What are you even talking about?
And Israelis are NOT generally white and "Euro-looking", whatever that means.


Jews are white. Israeli propaganda machine banks on that to garner sympathy in the western world. People like you don't care much about brown people so how on Earth would Israel finagle so much money out of the US tax payer without leveraging race?



This has NOTHING to do with race.
Israel gets money from the US for strategic purposes.


And why? Because Jews are deemed as the preferable "white" alternative to Arabs.
Read a book. That is precisely why the Brits offered Kenya to the Jews in the "Uganda Scheme". They needed the land settled with white colonists and believed Jews to be white and loyal to the crown. They were offered the land in place of sending British settlers to colonize Kenya precisely because of their race.



Read better books.


Barbara Tuchman actually talks about it at length in Sword and Bible. Tuchman is renowned Jewish historian and scholar who won the Pulitzer Prize and she goes into great detail re: the Uganda Scheme and the impetus for UK's offer to the Jews. It is quite interesting. I suggest you read it.


Read better books.

I mean this rally could have been named, “Support for genocide” I mean do people have no shame these days???


Obviously you aren’t there or you wouldn’t say this. Absolutely no one is marching to support genocide and almost every speaker has mentioned innocent Palestinian lives lost and hopes for peace in the region. Sorry that it doesn’t fit in with your narrative.


Zionism explicitly calls for genocide. This march was all for the complete abolition of the Palestinian people and their removal from their generational homeland. Yes, we save Van Jones call for peace - and then we saw the pro-genocide crowd break into "no ceasefire" chants.

These people are complete and utter monsters. I don't think there's anyway that Israel can recover its image from this - at least not from those that believe in human rights. The far right and evangelicals love it because they also believe in mass extermination of those that they deem unworthy. Couldn't have found better bedfellows.

You are completely delusional.


What I call delusional are the pro-genocide denialists who pretend like they haven't been in favor of displacing millions of Palestinians from their homes. When you takeover land that has millions of native inhabitants, what do you think will happen to them? Zionism is colonialism and we should not be having valid discussions on these issues in 2023. The fact that you believe the right of Palestinians born and raised in the region can be displaced by immigrants from Europe and the US who had not stepped foot in Palestinian for 2000 years is shocking and abhorrent.

We need to start calling Israel out for the war crimes and terrorism that it has undertaken daily for the past 75 years.

The Palestinians could have had their own state, but they rejected it and launched a new intifada. The Israelis left the Gaza Strip in 2005, and Hamas decided to turn it into a terrorism factory, rather than improve life for their own people. They are largely reaping what they sowed.

You're just another empty-headed progressive, bleating vapid propaganda phrases. Your understanding of history, or lack thereof, is just embarrassing and sad. You should go back to tearing down posters of kidnapped Israeli kids and threatening Jewish college girls, rather than trying to talk with adults.

What it does not make them is entitled to steal non-Europeans’ land.


The entire point of the Holocaust was that Hitler saw Jews as a different race of people. NO ONE saw Jews as European. Modern day Europeans probably still don't see them as European.


That may be. Let’s assume it’s true. It still isn’t the fault of the Palestinians.


We were talking about Jews being European or not. They are not.
They are indigenous to Israel/Palestine, just as Palestinians are.


Ashkenazi Jews came to Palestine from Europe. The Palestinians did not invite them. The English, in their infinite generosity, decided to gift Palestinian land to people from Europe. I don’t blame the European Jews for wanting a place to live, but I do blame them for cleansing the land of everyone but Jews.


First of all DNA tests prove that Ashkenazi Jews have nearly 100% Levantine paternal ancestry. The studies vary on the amount of Levantine maternal ancestry they have. It looks like during Roman times, Jewish men arrived, as slaves and as merchants, from Israel to Italy and many took local brides. The closest European group to Ashkenazi Jews are Italians and specifically Tuscans. But Ashkenazi Jews are most closely related to Sephardic Jews and then to Mizrahi Jews. They are not very related to Germans, although there’s some Central European ancestry, but it’s a minuscule amount.

DNA doesn’t lie. Ashkenazi Jews are Middle Eastern. Fact.

Secondly, the vast majority of Ashkenazi Jews live in the US, not Israel. The majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi. They have always lived in the Middle East. They have no connection to Europe at all.

Thirdly, over 20% of Israelis are Arabs, most of whom are Muslim. They didn’t listen to Arab leaders, who in their anger at the formation of Israel told them to leave, so that they could push the Jews into the sea. No, these Arabs chose to stay and they live peacefully in Israel. They are in the government, the judiciary, the World Cup team and many.of them are even in the IDF.

So, how exactly did the Ashkenazi’s come over to Israel and kick everyone else out? That’s just not true.


What about converts to Judaism? They have more rights in Israel than a Palestinian does, even if the Palestinian has a deed to his parents’ home.

Anyway, tracing DNA back to the land does not create title to the land. That land belonged to a real life human who Zionists stole it from. DNA or not, stealing is wrong.
