The latest fiction appears to be construction of the Israel as a White Settler Colonial project. Setting aside the historical homeland argument, basic demography would tend to argue otherwise. What about Druze Israelis and other Arab Israelis, comprising over 20% of the population? Half of Jewish Israelis are of Sephardic/Mizrahi origin. That leaves the roughly 40% of the population who self-identify as Ashkenazi, yet of these, over 50% are at least 50% Sephardic/Mizrahi- in other words, biracial. The idea that Israel is White or European is a weaponized fiction created for the gullible and ignorant.

I love most of what you said here. But, I have a bit of pushback on one idea, which you may be able to enlighten me on.

One of your statements about the Jewish people, that they have managed to “Dominate, control and enslave all of the Earth.” I am not really seeing that, even with hyperbole.

Yes the Country/Nation of Israel is impressive in many ways. And yes, there are a great many very successful Jewish individuals, and even many that have achieved great power and wealth. But, this still does not rise to the level of the afore mentioned statement of yours.

Was this just a kind of semi-poetic extreme hyperbole that I should have understood?
