<p>I believe you mean Sephardi Jews, Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of European descent. And if you knew any Sephardi Israelis, like some of my coworkers, you'd know they mostly feel treated differently. I don't know any Ethiopians Israelis, but it seems to be worse for them:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Israel" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Israel</a><p>> Some elements within the Ashkenazi Israeli Jewish population have also been described as holding discriminatory attitudes towards fellow Jews of other backgrounds, including against Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Sephardi Jews, etc. Although intermarriage between Ashkenazim and Sephardim/Mizrahim is increasingly common in Israel, and social integration is constantly improving, disparities continue to persist. Ethiopian Jews in particular have faced discrimination from non-Black Jews. It has been suggested that the situation of the Ethiopian Jews as 'becoming white' is similar to that of some European immigrants like Poles and Italians who arrived in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.<p>You'd be surprised to know most white supremacists are pro-Israel (including the original German Nazi party, guess which side most white supremacist political parties are?), mostly because they see it as a way to get Jewish people out of their country and keep the Middle-East destabilized.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement</a></p>

<p>This does not come from the Quran, which does not call for killing Jews anywhere, but feel free to show me where it does.<p>It comes from something called the "Gharqad Tree Hadith". A hadith is the muslim equivalent of a blog post dating more than a thousand years ago. It has no canonical value, it's an opinion piece by an individual. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gharqad" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gharqad</a><p>And no, again you're wrong: it isn't part of the current charter either. You can read the actual content here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter#Contents" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter#Contents</a><p>I would recommend reading more about this because your knowledge of the subject seems extremely poor and ressembles low value talking points you usually hear on talk shows.<p>If anything, please share sources to back your genocidal claims.</p>

For reference:<p><a href="https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/doctrine-hamas" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/doctrine-hamas</a><p>> Article 7:<p>> The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders.

<p>I know you're just sharing your personal experiences, but I got to say that this not only does not match my personal experience, but it also sounds very much like something you hear Israeli settlers say to justify settlement expansions and violence.</p>

<p>I could not confirm your claim that Hamas called for murdering Jews globally. Could you please share a source?<p>My feeling is that media controlled by people - like TikTok - tend to be pro-Palestinian, whereas media controlled by institutions tend to be pro-Israeli (with the exception of the majority of ONGs and human right organizations).<p>> it gets amplified by 1.8 billion people whose holy book calls for attacks on Jews<p>Broadly generalizing like this does border on racism, which definitely does not help defend a country accused of apartheid and genocide.</p>

<p>You're making a good point about the symbiotic relationship with the Israeli right.
