‘Israelis, go back to Europe’? Some on the left need to rethink their slogans
by #Jo-AnnMort
"A majority of Israel’s #Jews today are not descended from #Europe, but rather from #Arab nations. To expect them to leave #Israel is unprecedented, unrealistic and wrong."
[I don't agree with her opinion on "river to the sea", but I do agree on "go back to Europe".]
@plink That statement about most jews in Israel being Arab is nonsensical and factually baseless garbage. There have been quite a few genetic studies proving that false and you know? My brooklyn neighborhood in the 1960s was full of semitic dark skin jews who fled. The invaders didn't trust them b/c they lived peacefully with the arabs, and the arabs stopped trusting them because most saw it as a tribal issue and conflict. @palestine@israel
@plink@palestine@israel Yeah the Sephardim are native to Palestine and the rest of Arabia. I dont really like the idea of telling ethnicities to go somewhere anyway, because thats weird. Jews and Arabs can live in harmony if the states and colonisation stopped
