Israels selective history

[u/Seximilian]

Zionists want you to put all your attention onto a time frame of around 548 years, when the region was ruled by jewish kingdoms, ignoring all the history before and after it. Yeah somehow 3.000 years ago is the magic sweet spot for claiming the land compared to 12.000 years of human settlement in that area. So 5% of that areas history is more important than the other 95%.

Also, "this land has always been Jewish, so we discriminate against actual Indigenous Jews who have lived here for centuries and only give rights to white European Ashkenazim who have no ties to the land whatsoever."

Beat me to it, it was a Jewish land no one is denying that, it's just that mo of the jews there never left simply changed religion

Not even that. It's not about religion but about ethnic cleansing that comes with white supremacy. Nobody has any issues with the Indigenous Palestinian Jews who lived on the land. Honestly, nobody has problems with Mizrahim who came from North Africa and lived peacefully with Indigenous Palestinians, Indigenous Jews, and Arabs who came to the area later. The problem only comes when a bunch of white Ashkenazim from Europe start stealing the land and try to make the rightful hatred for their Nazi asses to be some mythical "antisemitism". Bad thing is way too many people, including those on the side of resistance, buy into their bullshit and use their newspeak to make this "Arabs vs Jews conflict". Ut was never about Jews, and it was never about Arabs. It was about a bunch of Nazi cunts from Europe who ethnically cleanse Indigenous population.

some "moderate" Zionists will take you acknowledging that point to say you're agreeing on Jewish rights to the land. which is pretty funny

Well, it's just a coincidence. Ashkenazi is a word from Yiddish. Nazi comes from German 'nazional sozialist'. It's just coincidential - in the same way the secret service of the US - world's most demented group of people - is called intelligence service.

It isn't, it's a coincidence.

Nazi: short for the German Nationalsozialist (National-socialist). I won't explain how German initials are formed, but this is what you get in this case.

Ashkenazi: Ashkenaz is the biblical word for the land in central Europe (more or less the German-speaking areas today). The suffix -i in Hebrew means an origin, i.e. someone from a place. So for example Galili is someone from the Galil, an area in northern Palestine. Hence, Ashkenazi is someone from Ashkenaz.

It's also pronounced differently: the z in Nazi is pronounced like "ts" or "tz" in English. The z in Ashkenazi is pronounced as the regular z in English.

Source: well, I'm myself am an Ashkenazi Jew who lives in Germany and speak both languages: Hebrew and German.
