“I said on the campaign trail that I wouldn’t be attending, and I’ve made my views on the Israeli government clear,” Mamdani said at the same briefing.
This. “Hey, instead of parading for the ethnicity that has been victim of discrimination and genocide for millenia, let’s parade for the white colonizers larping as said ethnicity to gain Victim Points™!”
I am genuinely curious who you believe is ethnically Jewish if Israel is white colonizers pretending to be Jewish? I hear somewhat frequently that there aren’t “real” Jews anymore because intermixing with Europeans (and other ethnicities) diluted their bloodline too much, and it feels not only doublethinky but almost eugenicist.
Oh no doubt, it is both a theocracy and a racial supremacy, with lighter skinned Jewish supremacy to boot. My concern has been with the seeming erasure of Jewish ethnicity through conflation with White Supremacy as the big societal evil of our time.
It just skeeves me out and feels basically racist when people call Israel white European settler colonialism. Like only the evil European White Man could be so evil, so they obviously aren’t “real” Jews. It has the same energy as white supremacists not counting Jews as white, just flipped and repackaged. Maybe it’s just racial purity testing in general not sitting right with me, I don’t like it when either political side does it.
If there is a “Jewish day Parade” I’ll be there, but specifically Israel is super problematic; don’t know how any sane person can support anymore

I think the bottom line is Israel is either a theocracy first or a eugenics project first.
Stuff like this shows in the past, at least, it was leaning toward the latter: https://www.christiancentury.org/news/african-hebrew-israelites-finally-see-legal-victory-against-israel-s-deportation-threats
