Israel has seen emigration double since the attacks of October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza. While some are choosing to leave for security reasons, among those choosing exile are activists weary of war and feeling increasingly isolated amid their country’s illiberal drift.
This is how mainstream media should report on Israel, by showing what a fascistic hellhole it is that even its own citizen flee because there’s no room for wrongthink.
At least they have the option unlike the poor souls being eradicated in Gaza…Unfortunately many of them will face discrimination in Europe, and part of it will be from people who think that dunking on diaspora jews is somehow pro-palestinian. The opposite is true: any antisemitic microaggression sends the message that Zionists are right and only in Israel can Jews be truly safe. Instead, making sure these people are safe, happy and incentivized to stay put in the diaspora and never go back to being colonizers must be part of pro-palestinian praxis. This is why the fight against antisemitism in Europe is intrinsically linked with the fight for Palestinian liberation: prove the basic premise of Zionism wrong!
Why is this in ‘Europe’?
By the article a lot of them go to Greece. The two interviewed people went to Greece and Italy.
Many Israeli citizens have grandparents who grew up in Europe, or who fled to the US from Europe and then went to Israel.
Netanyahus original family name is Mileikowsky, his fathers family is from Warsaw and his father was an important figure in the Zionist movement. His mothers family went from Lithuania to the US and then to Palestine during the last years of the Ottoman empire.
Maybe OP was thinking of the Eurovision Song Contest kind of Europe
Fair questions but a lot of them are gonna end up in Europe and Jewish Israelis are by demographics mostly European settlers, either from Western Europe or (post-)communist Europe. They are not indigenous to that region, and it would be just playing in the hands of Zionist propaganda to pretend that they would be. Now that shit hits the fan they rediscover their origins and I think that’s relevant for us to know.
Akshually, around 45% of Israeli jews are of Middle Eastern and North African descent, around the same as those from Europe
Yes I’ve read that same Wikipedia article. It’s a fair point but Zionism as a movement was started by European Jews and every prime minister ever since the establishment of the settler colony has been Ashkenazi. It’s designed by and for European Jews, the rest are just pawns to keep up the demographics. In that sense, even if they’re technically exactly the same or even if they’d be slightly more, it wouldn’t change much about the fact that European Jews are THE dominant group there.
Ok but if you believe that they constitute the real OG hARdCorE zionist gangstas, then why would you argue that they would be the ones leaving??
I don’t know what you’re on about here or what this has to with beliefs exactly, I just corrected your "correction“
My correction on how most jewish Israelis today aren´t exactly (descendants of) European settlers? How did your post ´correct´ that? You only argued the other jews don´t really count as you consider them pawns lol
Ok Zionist
Does posting to a European community require the content to be relevant exclusively to Europe?
I’m mean yeah, that’s kind of the point.
So if it’s relevant to Europeans but also others, it shouldn’t be posted?
It should be relevant for Europe. Doesn’t matter who else it’s relevant for.
So this post is ok then
And yet Gazians can’t flee
Hope we prevent these illegal migrants from entering Europe. Keep the Israelis out!
