    But doesn’t call for restraint on Isreal killing civilians. Funny how Isreal became the facist genocidal tyrants.

        White European settlers are living on stolen land and stealing more land while ethnically cleansing the nonwhite population.

        Stop trying to “both sides!” this.

            Nearly half of all Israelis are from Europe and America, but more importantly they and their descendents are the ones that own the largest businesses and usually ones that hold political office.

            Israel isn’t racist the same way America is, but it is definitely colorist. That’s why Israelis from Asia with passing complexion get many of the same perks the whites do.

            You think an Ethiopian Jewish immigrant will ever be the Prime Minister?

                America? They’re a small minority. There are many more Israelis from Former USSR areas for example than Americans. Actually those were amongst the first who fled to the area of Israel even before the country was founded.

                i.e. more Euorpeans, which doesn’t really contradict my point.

                I’m not American so I don’t really understand what do you mean by “colorist”.

                Actually it’s not even a US-American thing!

                Colorismo is how racism has manifested in Central and South America - rather than strict categories of race, there’s a range of skin shades that correlate with social status and judicial bias and economic outcomes. It has to do with the differing historical context for how European migrants mixed with Natives and the freed Caribbean slaves, as opposed to the US which maintained much stricter racial segregation and thus produced the very strict “Black” and “white” racial categories.

                So in Israel if you look at the highest levels of wealth and power you’ll see a lot of light skinned faces. Jews from Arab nations are in places of power, but only the Jews with passing complexion. And Jews from Ethiopia will never enjoy the same level of status.

        I bet you make this exact comment in all the threads about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, right?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    International leaders condemned an unprecedented incursion by Palestinian militants into southern Israel, while governments across the Middle East called for restraint after an attack that shook the Israeli security establishment.

    Egyptian officials said they were scrambling to contain the crisis diplomatically, including regular consultations with the Jordanian foreign minister, Ayman Al-Safadi, in an effort to find ways to de-escalate the situation.

    “Egypt called for exercising the utmost restraint and avoiding exposing civilians to further risks, warning of serious repercussions as a result of the escalation of violence, which would negatively affect the future of truce efforts,” the foreign ministry said.

    The incursion shocked international observers, particularly among the governments of the Middle East, upending expectations that Israel could continue to push for peace negotiations with former foes across the region despite increasing violence on the ground.

    The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, called for restraint from all parties, a sentiment echoed by Qatar, which has long provided financial support to the besieged Gaza Strip and blamed Israel for the increase in violence.

    The UAE, which signed a deal to normalise diplomatic relations with Israel two years ago, also issued a statement describing “deep concern about the escalation of violence,” and calling for “maximum restraint and an immediate ceasefire to avoid dangerous repercussions”.
