@louis That doesn't really change anything though. Despite Ashkenazi being a minority, they have dominated the political structures of Israel since 48. Israel is an Ashkenazi supremacist State.
Also, even if some Ashkenazi are "left leaning", most have still been strongly in favor of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Further "left leaning" Israelis are now a small minority, the population has swung way to the right in recent decades.
Regardless, Israel was dominated by the left/social democratic Labor Party for it's first 50 years of existence, and it still carried out eth ic cleansing in that time
@RadicalGraffiti It's nice that you want to apply western simplicity to Israeli society, but as a group, everyone is exceptionally mixed, and it's an exceptionally politically active society all around.
As for ethnically cleansing Arab Palestinians....if that was the case, why are there so many Arab Palestinians living, working, voting, and serving in the Israeli government and military?
@louis I have no idea what "Western simplicity" you are talking about, but it is undeniable that the Ashkenazi population has dominated the Israeli political, military, cultural establishment since it's founding.
Also, the Arab minority within Israel are tolerated but discriminated against. Their presence is only tolerated as long as they remain a politically and socially powerless minority.
There is also no denying the mass ethnic cleansing of Arabs in 48, again in 67 and the daily cleansing of Arabs in East Jerusalem, West Bank, as well as the unfolding genocide in Gaza.
The very fact that Arabs in the occupied territories are not given Israeli citizenship, despite being under the daily authority of the Israeli state, shows the state to be a racist apartheid regime
