By using this tragedy to propagate your worn-out propaganda, you've shown that you don't truly care about the progressive causes you claim to be.Mark Kerpinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-21643435732898525412012-06-08T17:09:53.166-07:002012-06-08T17:09:53.166-07:00I don't know if it's racist to assume that...I don't know if it's racist to assume that Israeli politicians are Jewish, but didn't God say something like "Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt." back in Exodus 23:9?<br /><br />I mean, I know more about Christianity, but I think Exodus is still important to the Jewish faith, right?Christophernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-87562967372320425192012-06-04T14:12:10.514-07:002012-06-04T14:12:10.514-07:00So now all Jews are white?

I thought Ashkenazis left Europe because they weren't white enough to be part of European nationalist projects, but wanted to try out Modernity for themselves. I recall a lot of the ones who stayed being murdered. And say what you want about the conditions Arab Jews left their homes under in 48-51, but they don't call themselves white, and they are rare in the Israeli politics and universities the u.s. supports. There might be white supremacy in Israel, but to conflate whiteness and Jewishness is antisemitic. Your analysis, which in the classic American pundit manner jumps on a sound bite from a politician, is clearly framed less in what the politician said than in your own antisemitism. To assert that all Israeli Jews are white is false and offensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
