    This shit is really dangerous too, because the blowback weakens actual anti-Semitism accusations and strengthens actual anti-Semitic groups.

      Come on, Israel is itself already almost anti-Semitic. They have that picture of the reborn Hebrew nation, and actual history and culture and language of really existing Jewish communities and groups they care about only when that serves that goal. If those communities and groups are underrepresented in Israel itself - may even be hostility.

        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.
