Why NOW is there an attempt to depict Jews as white? Because in an identity politics era whiteness has become synonymous with toxicity in certain circles. In a mediaeval religious era we were Christ killers. Antisemites exploit each era’s particular zeitgeist to attack Jews 1/4
Jews were once told to “go back home” and leave Europe because they weren’t white. Now that they’ve gone home they’re told to leave Israel because they’re “white” and don’t belong there. Antisemitism is a bad faith game in which Jews can’t win 2/4
In the crank left’s AS mission to deny Jews self-determination in their modern & historic indigenous homeland, they try to depict Jews as white to render them not only as “toxic” but as alien “colonial” invaders - rather than a People whose origins are the Middle East 3/4
Most Israelis/Jews don’t have white complexions. But the fact some do still bears testament to our singular origin & the fact we were globally displaced. Different Jewish appearances over time of every hue, yet a shared civilisation, is proof of our collective geographic origin
