    that picture of the reborn Hebrew nation

    The what? EDIT Oh you mean like, the way they sort of imposed their own European-Hebrew onto local Semitic people.

    Also, I know Israel is certainly racist, with mostly white faces in high places. Their colorismo is basically the same as Latin America - in fact there’s a very interesting history of technological and cultural exchange between racist Latin American dictatorships and the Israeli state.

      Well, you know, the resurrection of the Hebrew language after a couple centuries (EDIT: late to fix it, I meant millennia, but was frankly already drunk to notice) it was dead.

      There were and are neo-Aramaic (language closest to Hebrew, only it never died) speaking Jews in the world and in Israel, but making that the official language wasn’t sufficiently epic and those were, as you correctly pointed out, brown people for Zionist leaders back then.

      They love Masada story so much (its defenders spoke Aramaic), openly do that re-Judaification of Jerusalem etc.

      I mean, I don’t understand why you’re surprised.
