To get more congressional seats, of course

Bahahahah Oh wait, she’s serious, let me laugh even harder Bahahahahahahahahha

“Israeli food” is a marketing gimmick for coopted Palestinian cuisine. Taking Palestinian dishes and throwing in Ashkenazi / Eastern European items does not a national cuisine make.

It’s part of the settler colonial project to erase Palestinian national identity.

Oh, I’m sorry. It’s a reference to a Rick and Morty episode. I thought that’s what you were referring to.

Ooh-la-la, someone’s gonna get laid in college.

Edit: This is a joking reference from a Rick and Morty episode (S02E06).

Thank you for the link!

Is this the circuses part of “bread and circuses”?

Posting this from a source deemed ‘respectable’. Because reasons.

“Israel is starving Palestinian hostages.”

There, fixed that headline for you, CBC.

“While speaking to the western press, Israeli leaders deny they are committing genocide in Gaza. They claim they are fighting a war to defeat Hamas and are trying to protect the civilian population of the strip at the same time.

However, when speaking in Hebrew in the Israeli press, Israeli politicians, generals, religious leaders, and political commentators regularly make genocidal statements,expressing their desire to “destroy Amalek,” starve Palestinians into submission, flatten Gaza, and ethnically cleanse it of its roughly 2 million inhabitants.”

Zionism is colonialism.

“The situation in the Westbank might be like Apartheid, but not the state of Israel.”

This is wrong. Israel is an apartheid regime through and through. Stop whitewashing Zionist apartheid and settler colonialism.

One of the many examples: Israel has long used discriminatory laws and policies to separate Palestinians from their families. For example, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza cannot gain legal status in Israel or occupied East Jerusalem through marriage, denying their rights to family unification. This policy has forced thousands of Palestinians to live apart from their loved ones; others are forced to go abroad, or live in constant fear of being arrested, expelled or deported. These measures explicitly target Palestinians, and not Jewish Israelis, and are primarily guided by demographic considerations that aim to minimize Palestinian presence inside Israel/OPT.

It’s the (Eastern European) white-default understanding of Jew, and conflating it with an ethnicity rather than a religious community, that is being called out here.

Because even in occupied Palestine, you have racism by Jewish Europeans against Jewish Africans, even though by their own standards, they are one race, one people.

All this is irrelevant to the root cause of colonialism in occupied Palestine. Peace will come when Ashkenazis and other Jewish immigrants can accept being full and equal citizens under a secular republic where one person gets one vote.

I never said Ashkenazis are uniquely racist.

The Ashkenazis who invaded and colonized Palestine were driven by a deeply racist ideology, and thus were racists themselves.

Not all Ashkenazis are Jewish. A not-insignificant number of Ashkenazi Americans are atheist. They are Ashkenazi by ethnicity.

We say Jewish Ashkenazi and Atheist Ashkenazi in the same way we say Muslim Palestinian, Christian Palestinian and Jewish Palestinian.

It’s not a contest of which group is most persecuted.

The Romani continue to be persecuted in Europe to this day, but I don’t believe there’s a racist, settler colonial movement to carve out an ‘ancestral Romani homeland’ in South Asia and drive out the indigenous inhabitants, based on non-exclusive ties to the land.

The point is that they have a choice to remain as equal citizens under a One State solution, where Palestinian refugees and their descendants can exercise their right of return, as well as receive just compensation for their losses. They (the Zionists) just won’t have preferential treatment. As soon as they accept that, then the Zionist project crumbles.

A not-insignificant number of Israelis are recent immigrants or descendants thereof who maintain dual citizenship, “just in case”. Law abiding citizens can always return to their nations.

What intrinsic hate? Refuting conflating a white European group with a multiethnic religious group is somehow hateful of the whole white European group as a whole?

Ashkenazi persecution in Europe does not translate to a universal hatred of Jews as a whole.

This myth needs to end. Just because Ashkenazis were hated among their European brethren doesn’t mean Jewish Lebanese, Palestinians, Iraqis and others were despised and persecuted similarly.

This Ashkenazi monopoly on the term Jews needs to be called out for what it is. White supremacy.

Zionist war crimes.
