I’m not historian but I thought israel was made for european jews. also I have read that israel imports white jews from russia and america in order to fill out their settlements
race isnt really a thing and it’s fucking ridiculous, but if you brought a random Israel to the USA and asked a red hat if they were white, what the fuck you think they’re gonna say? I bet the median response would be NO
Murican racialism is super dumb in this context. “White” doesn’t mean literally white complexion and Jews along with Slavs, the Irish and southern Meds/North Africans have never been included in the “white race” colonialism project, they were all explicitly “inferior populations” to the point of extermination.
The entire region is full of both “white” and “brown” people in the same families so this Murican simplistic af idea that races are real and that they correspond to skin tone and they’re all neatly divided geographically is scifi.
This is about western backed colonizers versus displaced native populations, not “races”.
bruh, many Israelis are also “brown people” by ICE standards. you think my dark curl haired hummus eating neighbor with a thick middle eastern accent aspirating into his cell phone is gonna be called white by a trumper?
“Never again” for Jews, anyways. Now, brown people on the other hand…
Aren’t most Israelis also brown people?
historically, probably. in modern times, it’s mostly people who have migrated from europe and the united states since the Nakba

Europe and Russia are in the majority, assuming that Russia counts as white.
