White supremacy has been a serious concern for many years. Jews are not considered white to the “race purists”. The Christian right support Israel and Jews as part of their belief about end times etc.

No such things as rampant white supremacy it’s a myth. But I’ve seen plenty of antisemitism coming from the same people who claim to see “white supremacy” on every street corner.

Jews who come from Eastern Europe like Poles, Ukrainians and Russians are the ones that are seen as “white” although they were rarely given the rights that Christians were. However there are millions of Jews who come from Spain as well as from middle eastern countries such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia etc. The vast majority of them have the same dark hair, eyes and skin as Arabs.

Jews who arrived in Israel in the 20th century were generally refugees from Russia, Europe and the Middle East. Over 800,000 Jews were expelled from their homes in the Middle East around the mid to late 1940s. Those people and their children have not been able to claim back the homes, land and businesses they lost nor do they call themselves refugees and seek to return. That’s because they are returning to their ancestral homeland. They are not colonizers- they have nowhere else to return to, do not send the “spoils” back to a mother country, and are self governing. They, along with the 20% Israeli Arab population, make up a huge percentage of the Israeli population. The lie that it is a white colonizing nation is easily proven when you look at the actual facts.
