We look and live like other white people - we deserve to bomb and kill without public outcry like white people.
That’s not even true, which only makes it worse. 45% of the Israeli Jews are Mizrahi (of Middle Eastern/African origin) and 32% are the originally European Ashkenazi. Half of the Jewish population looks the same as Arabs. That’s why the West Bank has to have different colored license plates, different forms of IDs and permits that are checked at the checkpoints on every step. Because otherwise the occupying military literally wouldn’t be able to distinguish who to protect and who to oppress.
I thought the Ashkenazi were a much bigger percentage than that. TIL.
I wouldn’t have guessed it from the photos and rhetoric coming out of Israel. Still, the quote about looking European is coming from an Israeli coordinating to spread propaganda from Wix according to the source.
