Setting aside for a moment whether the actual aims of the BDS movement are legitimate or moral, the movement itself is counterproductive to achieving those aims. If you claim to want freedom and self-determination and peace for Palestinians, you should not be supporting the BDS movement. It may make you feel warm and fuzzy and like you're doing something righteous, but as with a lot of the performative activism that goes on in so-called pro-Palestinian spaces, it harms the people it claims to care about.

Also, let's address this comment, shall we?

"As someone who is of ME background, I find it so funny watching ignorant ppl think there's such thing as 'israeli' food. You look like an idiot thinking that something like Hummus --which those child killers can't even PRONOUNCE-- claim it as theirs. The word is literally ARABIC, so is every other food they steal. They are irredeemable psychos to their bone. And a moron thinks it's antisemitic to say it. There were ARAB Muslims, Christians and J E W S who made this food. It was NEVER 'israeli.'"

Obviously this is an unhinged antisemitic screed. But also - sir, 45% of Israeli Jews are mizrachi/sephardic, meaning they have parents or grandparents who were BORN in the Middle East or North Africa. They come from Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, the Arabian Pennisula. They can pronounce hummus just fine. If you wanted the "Arab Jews" you say made this food to stay in Arab lands rather than exporting their native cuisines to Israel, maybe you shouldn't have ethnically cleansed them? https://jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-populations-in-the-arab-world. Idk man. Sounds like a you problem.


45% … ?! Yeah, OK.

Even if your statistic is correct (spoiler alert: it’s not correct, but instead effectively doubles the actual data point), why is it that that supposed plurality in the country has yet to figure out a way to get one of their own into the PM seat?

The truth is that the Ashkenazim have that Prime Minister slot locked up, they always have, and yet you want to peddle this meshuggeneh nonsense that a subgroup that’s supposedly twice as numerous as the Eastern Bloc crowd can’t figure out how to get in on the act?

As I said previously … yeah, OK.


Listen. You can argue about lots of things wrt Israel but people are not going to take you seriously if you deny EASILY VERIFIABLE FACTS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews_in_Israel#:~:text=Mizrahi%20Jews%20constitute%20one%20of,as%20either%20Mizrahi%20or%20Sephardic.

That’s the problem with the pro-Palestine movement. It’s built on vibes and propaganda and zero actual knowledge of the region, its people, or its history.

Also, Israel has had plenty of Mizrahi people in positions of power. Including an Iranian president. And the Mizrahi population of Israel is in fact significantly more right wing and supportive of Netanyahu than the Ashkenazi population. Because they’ve had the unique joy of living as minorities in Muslim majority countries. How do you think that went?


They are doing this very purposefully. That's why they're targeting college students to bring on board.


What a crock of shit.

I was in college at the time Iraq war propaganda - the college students were right then, as they are right now. This is fact.

Zionists always want to paint it as a "young, naive kid" issue - but the college kid are far more in touch and informed than some zionist special interest sellouts.
Your use of Zionist as a perjorative is your "tell" for racist and white supremacist wordview, sadly. You are not a young naive person, but you are a bigot.


+1 I'm not saying that the situation over there is acceptable but the coarsening of discourse with the virulent, and I would argue (ironically) violent, use of Zionist as a pejorative term is really f'ed up. I was in college during the Iraq War, too. We were much more level-headed. Many young people today have become completely obsessed with Gaza to the exclusion of other really pressing problems like the impending ecological disaster, right wing fascism in our country, and unchecked gun violence. In part it's because of anti-colonialism classes, so they are just spewing what they've learned at school. (I don't have an issue with anti-colonialism classes. I have an issue with the extent to which today's students lack nuance.) In part it's frustrations stemming from the pandemic and Trump, especially regarding long-simmering perceived and real grievances of people of color and gay people, using the intractable Middle East conflict as a proxy.


Do you think the difference might be that Netanyahu was not prime minister back then? If he were PM during the Bush administration, I do think the discourse would’ve been very different back then. There’s no reason why Netanyahu should be on Fox News every week or even be a household name to 22 year old Americans at all.

He hams it up, always says exactly what we wants and wants it now, and is always looking For the spotlight and throws tantrums like a toddler and his own cabinet in Israel says this about it.

The heavy handedness and inability to be a smooth operator has unfortunately led to him hurting American Jews and the reputation of Israel.

What are you even blathering on about?

Do you really think you will convince anyone that the segment of the non-Arab Israeli population that has actual biological roots to the immediate area of modern day Israel is more than 10% of the country’s population?!

Sephardic and especially Mizrahi are distractions from the stone cold facts. I don’t care about roots in Morocco or Iran or Iraq or Ethiopia any more than I care about roots in Poland or Ukraine.

With very few exceptions, they are all non-natives and their absence of indigeneity isn’t a matter of dispute here in reality.


The culture of Israel is kinda similar to the United States: a mix of hedonism, ultra orthodox theocracy, mean spiritedness, kindness, violence, diversity/coexistence, racism, humor yet ultra sensitivity . The Mizrahis used to be nicer when they first moved to Israel but they found themselves the butt of all the jokes. Now they’ve adopted the cynical harsh ways of the European jews and mock Arab culture and Arabs despite their lingo, food, appearance, and grandparents being literal Arabs.

Totally agree. Every Zionist and neocon sociopath wants everyone to believe the ‘college students are woke idiots’ but they were right about Iraq and they were right about Israel.

The Hasbara trolls are all over this thread, and others on DCUM, but Americans are waking up


They aren't. You overestimate Americans' interest in foreign conflicts.

And that ^^^ is everyone’s tell that they are dealing with another garden variety Zionist, drunk on Bubbe’s proclamation that you’re smarter than everyone else. To you, every non-Jew is young and naive, old and stupid, or something in between that is certainly beneath you and the chosen people. 😂

Listen. You can argue about lots of things wrt Israel but people are not going to take you seriously if you deny EASILY VERIFIABLE FACTS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews_in_Israel#:~:text=Mizrahi%20Jews%20constitute%20one%20of,as%20either%20Mizrahi%20or%20Sephardic.

That’s the problem with the pro-Palestine movement. It’s built on vibes and propaganda and zero actual knowledge of the region, its people, or its history.

Also, Israel has had plenty of Mizrahi people in positions of power. Including an Iranian president. And the Mizrahi population of Israel is in fact significantly more right wing and supportive of Netanyahu than the Ashkenazi population. Because they’ve had the unique joy of living as minorities in Muslim majority countries. How do you think that went?


They are doing this very purposefully. That's why they're targeting college students to bring on board.


What a crock of shit.

I was in college at the time Iraq war propaganda - the college students were right then, as they are right now. This is fact.

Zionists always want to paint it as a "young, naive kid" issue - but the college kid are far more in touch and informed than some zionist special interest sellouts.
Your use of Zionist as a perjorative is your "tell" for racist and white supremacist wordview, sadly. You are not a young naive person, but you are a bigot.

If you really want to die on this hill with the ridiculous position curated by the ADL, AIPAC, Betar, Canary Mission, Brn Shapiro, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, et al. that anti-Zionism = anti-semitism, just know that most people are A-OK with you dying on that hill.

Setting aside for a moment whether the actual aims of the BDS movement are legitimate or moral, the movement itself is counterproductive to achieving those aims. If you claim to want freedom and self-determination and peace for Palestinians, you should not be supporting the BDS movement. It may make you feel warm and fuzzy and like you're doing something righteous, but as with a lot of the performative activism that goes on in so-called pro-Palestinian spaces, it harms the people it claims to care about.

Also, let's address this comment, shall we?

"As someone who is of ME background, I find it so funny watching ignorant ppl think there's such thing as 'israeli' food. You look like an idiot thinking that something like Hummus --which those child killers can't even PRONOUNCE-- claim it as theirs. The word is literally ARABIC, so is every other food they steal. They are irredeemable psychos to their bone. And a moron thinks it's antisemitic to say it. There were ARAB Muslims, Christians and J E W S who made this food. It was NEVER 'israeli.'"

Obviously this is an unhinged antisemitic screed. But also - sir, 45% of Israeli Jews are mizrachi/sephardic, meaning they have parents or grandparents who were BORN in the Middle East or North Africa. They come from Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, the Arabian Pennisula. They can pronounce hummus just fine. If you wanted the "Arab Jews" you say made this food to stay in Arab lands rather than exporting their native cuisines to Israel, maybe you shouldn't have ethnically cleansed them? https://jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-populations-in-the-arab-world. Idk man. Sounds like a you problem.


45% … ?! Yeah, OK.

Even if your statistic is correct (spoiler alert: it’s not correct, but instead effectively doubles the actual data point), why is it that that supposed plurality in the country has yet to figure out a way to get one of their own into the PM seat?

Of course zionist is a pejorative - spare me your "homeland" bullshit. Zionism is a violent ideology of supremacy and entitlement.

You can call me a bigot all you want - I stand firm in my moral and ethical convictions. At least I don't believe I'm supremely entitled to some archaic land from thousands of years ago just because I belong to some vague amorphous demographic.

Fk Israeli propaganda bullshit. True history will be the ultimate arbiter. America's children know the truth. Gaza genocide and now Iran are seared into their brains. Have you not talked to your kids or heard them talk with their friends? Unless they go to a jds it's not surprising to hear that almost no kid likes Israel anymore. You should know because jews were so scared so they bought TikTok... and ZBS, and now ZNN. And stop with the jewish bullshit websites, with fake data and polls with endless lies and racism. Why does every claim point to a citation that is jewish, which then then points to another citation that is also jewish? Almost seems like this could be more than mere coincidence in order to manufacture consent.

How about you 23 and me your entire population and then give some demographic stats. Epstein might have been on to something there. Maybe it wasn't about finding paternity for children that were used by multiple men as "bio" dumpsters, of which curiously half of whom seem to be from "eastern European" descent.

And parents or grandparents"? What a joke. The zionist invasion in the Levant began to happen before that so 50 or 100 years ago does hardly a native make. Why does your revived dead language sound like a drunk German is talking? How about tracing back 1500-2000+ years? Jews always like to frame history and dates to perpetuate lies and fairy tales. Wikipedia has pages and pages about this and you can quickly see the contradictions.

Even though the jews have tried to erase and rewrite history, it's hard to escape it. The jewish present and future have finally caught up with its past.


The poster you are "responding" to is correct. Jews have a long history in the communities of the Middle East, and would have existed alongside the Arab pagans. The creation of Israel and the 1948 war led to a vacuum of historical Jewish communities in places like Iraq, Syria, and Egypt.


Arguing with an insane person will only make you crazy.
