The United States is in no position to go after Israel on human rights issues given how its army acted in Iraq and Afghanistan, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party) said.
White people > brown people, yada yada yada.
Mizrachim (MidEast Jews) vote overwhelmingly right-wing and arguably hate Arabs more than white Jews (Ashkenazim) because they lost everything when they were expelled from Arab lands. This is a Israeli v Arab conflict, not White vs Colored. Please leave your American-centered viewpoints at the door.
Yep. Zionism is religious nationalism.
Of course most zionists are going to be right-wing nutjobs.
There are over 6 million Jews living in Israel today. The vast majority are going to be Zionists because they support the idea of an independent Jewish/Israeli state. Most of them are not right-wing nutjobs. In fact, millions have come out to protest Bibi and the right wing govt right now. And your comment discredits the long, liberal history in Israeli politics.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
They are religious nationalists, which is inherently a right-wing nutjob ideal.
Zionism is religious nationalism. Plain and simple.
Yeah, no. You’re just mad I’m saying things you don’t like. Admit it.
Most Israelis are secular, they are not religious. Datim and Charedim only make up ~22% of Israeli Jews. Why make bold claims about topics you know nothing about?
