    Okay, so being from Europe and having white skin doesn’t necessarily make them white.

    Colonizing a non-white region and genociding the local population does, though.

    There is a reason that white supremacists, even non religious ones, love Israel.

        They sure fucking love Israel though, because the settlers love to lynch Arabs and Africans

        What could be more white than stealing land from the non-white people already living there? Old school white supremacists hated Italians and Irish too, but this isn’t the 1940s.

          Most of ADLs database of hate is centered around white supremacism.

          ADL exists to protect Jews.

          Why would an organization centered around protecting Jews focus so much negative attention on white supremacists if white supremacists love Jews and Israel?

            White supremacists love Israel, not Jews. That’s why they constantly talk about so-called Judeo-Christian values.

            Israel isn’t some post-racial society. Whiteness exists there as it does in all settler states, because whiteness is an artificial construction of colonialism and is used by colonizers to turn the settlers against the colonized.

            The wealthiest and most powerful Israelis are European, then Asian, then African. There’s a clear racial hierarchy in Israel that you don’t want to admit exists.

              I never claimed that Israel was a post racial society. In fact the implication would be the opposite.

              Good luck in your ventures to argue against what people haven’t argued. I’m sure it will serve you well.

                You claimed that being Jewish is its own racial category, which means an ethnostate like Israel doesn’t have racial tensions between Israeli Jews. All Jews are Jews, so there’s no racial tension. “Post-racial” wasn’t the right term for that, sorry, obviously there are non-Jews in Israel.
