(Source. Spotted here. For the context wherein Trump applied the stereotype, see here.)

Remember: words like ‘intifada’, phrases like ‘from the river to the sea’, and even stuffed animals in the form of octopodes are all ways of secretly calling for another Shoah, no matter how many times Palestinians say otherwise. On the other hand, when a Herzlian like Trump applies an infamous stereotype to somebody…

    This is the rub isn’t it? White colonist Jews in pissrael are totally fine with antisemitism and even engage in it themselves so long as their genocidal project remains unchecked. Trump could post the happy merchant on truthsocial tomorrow and fucking treatlerite Podman here would be like “hell yeah based”.

      It’s a prime example of the utter cynicism of fascists

      The Zionists are getting what they want (expansion of Zionist territory), so it does not matter if the world is becoming more antisemitic

      If anything, it also plays into their end goal of a world where Judaism is completely defined on their terms

      To be clear, a lot of Israeli jews are not “white,” they’re just settler colonists and religious supremacists. Claiming that every Israeli is an Eastern European doesn’t really hold up any more, statistically

        The syntax suggested that they are talking about a subset of Jewish people in Israel, not all of them, and it’s certainly true that the Euro subset hold something of a dominant position and have long been discriminatory to the ME Jewish populations within Israel who make up most of its population.

          Are non-white Jews in Israel substantially more antizionist? Or do they go along with the project despite the internal discrimination? My understanding was that Zionist supporters in Israel were not divided by whiteness, but by Jewish and non-Jewish

            I imagine there is any difference, but you are right that the main division is between the Jewish and non-Jewish populations. I wasn’t trying to address Zionism, which is extremely popular among basically the entire Jewish population of Israel by every demographic (though perhaps not in the small minorities who they forcibly sterilized, but that’s just a guess).

        Every Israeli in the high levels of power is Eastern European. Every single Prime Minister of Israel has been Eastern European in lineage

        Yeah they accept Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews into the country, but they aren’t the ones at the highest level running the show with the American connects - that’s all Ashkenazi. Even within the Jewish supremacist system, among the jews there is a white supremacist hierarchy as well.
