I mean, the guy speaks about a fake blood libel that has been debunked and for which no proof exists. At least I did the effort to share reliable sources instead of manipulating people's emotions to justify genocide.

On the other hand you have a military superpower killing more than 10k women and children, in the name of atrocities that Israeli journalists found to have been mostly fabricated, most of them killed using weapons built by people browsing here, with actual proofs from leading journals and ONGs around the world, but you decide to get angry at PG just for pointing out actual numbers.

Maybe you're not a white supremacist Rendall Koski, but you sure act like one, which seems to be a common trait amongst Israeli allies anyway.

Nah. White supremacists hate Jews and do not argue for Israel. You know this. Jews including Ashkenazi and Palestinians are genetically similar, and Israel is a non-white nation, including Mizrahi, Muslim, Druze, and Ethiopians.

No, white supremacists argue without mitigation against Israel.

I believe you mean Sephardi Jews, Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of European descent. And if you knew any Sephardi Israelis, like some of my coworkers, you'd know they mostly feel treated differently. I don't know any Ethiopians Israelis, but it seems to be worse for them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Israel

> Some elements within the Ashkenazi Israeli Jewish population have also been described as holding discriminatory attitudes towards fellow Jews of other backgrounds, including against Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Sephardi Jews, etc. Although intermarriage between Ashkenazim and Sephardim/Mizrahim is increasingly common in Israel, and social integration is constantly improving, disparities continue to persist. Ethiopian Jews in particular have faced discrimination from non-Black Jews. It has been suggested that the situation of the Ethiopian Jews as 'becoming white' is similar to that of some European immigrants like Poles and Italians who arrived in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

You'd be surprised to know most white supremacists are pro-Israel (including the original German Nazi party, guess which side most white supremacist political parties are?), mostly because they see it as a way to get Jewish people out of their country and keep the Middle-East destabilized.

I believe you have very strong and firmly held opinions about that which you know very little. Unfortunately extremely common these days.

I said Mizrahi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews

"You'd be surprised to know most white supremacists are pro-Israel (including the original German Nazi party"

At first. Then al-Husseini met the Nazis and they worked out an agreement.

But I honestly don't think you're actually interested in the history of the region, so I'll spare you and I the lecture. If you're accusing Israel of lying about October 7th, you won't be interested nor believe any mitigating facts.

Please don't perpetuate flamewars like this. You broke the site guidelines as well. I realize the other commenter was being provocative, but that doesn't make it ok.
