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.

This does not come from the Quran, which does not call for killing Jews anywhere, but feel free to show me where it does.

It comes from something called the "Gharqad Tree Hadith". A hadith is the muslim equivalent of a blog post dating more than a thousand years ago. It has no canonical value, it's an opinion piece by an individual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gharqad

And no, again you're wrong: it isn't part of the current charter either. You can read the actual content here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter#Contents

I would recommend reading more about this because your knowledge of the subject seems extremely poor and ressembles low value talking points you usually hear on talk shows.

If anything, please share sources to back your genocidal claims.

Sounds like the equivalent of the Nation-State laws in Israel to me. For reference:

https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/doctrine-hamas

> Article 7:

> The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders. It goes back to 1939, to the emergence of the martyr Izz al-Din al Kissam and his brethren the fighters, members of Muslim Brotherhood.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law:_Israel_as_the_Natio...

> 1 — Basic Principles

> A. The land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people, in which the State of Israel was established.

> 7 — Jewish Settlement

> A. The state views the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation.

This kind of lying is playing in the hands of Holocaust deniers. Some people might be simple minded enough to fall for it, but the majority of people listening to you can see right through it.

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.

I know you're just sharing your personal experiences, but I got to say that this not only does not match my personal experience, but it also sounds very much like something you hear Israeli settlers say to justify settlement expansions and violence.
Re:The pro-Israel information war on Friday December 08, 2023 @07:11PM (#38576729)
I could not confirm your claim that Hamas called for murdering Jews globally. Could you please share a source?

My feeling is that media controlled by people - like TikTok - tend to be pro-Palestinian, whereas media controlled by institutions tend to be pro-Israeli (with the exception of the majority of ONGs and human right organizations).

> it gets amplified by 1.8 billion people whose holy book calls for attacks on Jews

Got to say, broadly generalizing like this borders on racism, which definitely does not help defend a country accused of apartheid and genocide.

You're making a good point about the symbiotic relationship with the Israeli right. This reminds me of a recent interesting discussion on the Skeptics StackExchange: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/56315/did-netan...

Following this line of thinking, the US did all of that and worse (slavery and Vietnam war alone). Do you believe we should drop the nuke on them?

I don't.

Got laid off in October, worked on open-source projects, two of those ended up in the front-page, got contacted and signed an offer this month. I felt like shit and spent too much time getting baked, but it's over now.
My bad, it's corrected!
In the case of Prince Andrew [1], there was a private settlement with the victim with the strongest case. He did not (directly) admit guilt and got his case closed.
