During Susan Abulhawa’s recent brilliant takedown of Zionism in the Oxford Union, one person from the pro-Israeli side made a stink about being called a “white colonizer” when they were in fact Yemeni. Do you want to be able to respond meaningfully to such an argument or not? Painting the two sides as Israeli-White vs Palestinian-Brown is only playing into the hands of the Israeli propaganda, that claims Israel to be a diverse and inclusive society. So don’t fucking do that. Acknowledge the simple fact that, Palestinians like Ahed Tamimi can also be blonde and blue eyed and still be at the bottom of the Israeli apartheid hierarchy. An Ethiopian Jewish Israeli is higher in the hierarchy than every Palestinian, because skin color is not the ultimate determinant in this particular system, jewishness is. It’s not white supremacist, it’s jewish supremacist and the two things are not exactly the same. I don’t understand why pointing out the simple fact that American colorism does not fucking translate directly to the Israeli apartheid system is taken as controversial here.
I am not sure I understand what the fuck you are talking about. #andWhatIsGoingOnWithTheHashtags
There is no such thing as “semite genes”. If an Israeli claims right to the land based on “semite genes”, that’s a regressive. If a Palestinian does the same, that’s regressive.
Basing any kind of politics on genes in this context is regressive. Not interested.
Don’t tell us, tell the Israeli state and other Zionists who are basing politics on genes.
