I was with Caitlin 100% until her statement, "Zionism is a white supremacist ideology." No. Zionism arrogates to itself the protection of all Jews everywhere, but it does not benefit most Jews, even most Jews in Israel. It benefits mainly elite Ashkenazi Jews who form the leadership of Israel. It would be wrong to call it "Jewish supremacist," because it is not endorsed by nor does it benefit all Jews. Such a term would simply be scapegoating *ALL* Jews for the beliefs and actions of a few. As such, it would be anti-Semitic. Similarly, the use of race and other ideologies by a minority of Western and American elites to benefit themselves is not endorsed by nor does it benefit all white people, so use of "white supremacist" to describe the actions of such elites is simply scapegoating *ALL* white people for the beliefs and actions of a few. It would be anti-White racism, and particularly egregious since a majority of those elites don't even believe such an ideology and many of them, like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, are in fact non-white. They serve elite interests, and they will use any convenient tool to advance elite goals. In the past racism was used to gain support. Today, it is more often a claim to anti-racism that's a more effective tool.
'...Ethiopian Jews living in Israel have long complained of discrimination, and similar protests in 2012 followed reports that some Israeli landlords were refusing to rent out their properties to Ethiopian Jews.
'Ethiopian Israeli Jews' income is considerably lower than the general population, and they are much more likely to face limited educational opportunities and to end up in prison, according to The Ethiopian National Project, a non-governmental organisation which assists Ethiopian Jews in Israel.'
Yes. I was definitely not suggesting that racism does not exist, especially in Israel, where Mizrahim (Arab Jews) have long been discriminated against. In fact, they were so resentful of their treatment by Ashkenazim in Israel that a group called Black Panthers was formed and in late 1972 they published in their magazine an account of the false flag operations carried out by Zionists in Baghdad to stampede Iraqi Jews into emigrating to Israel.
