  1. This has always been about religion, dear heart.

  2. Dear heart, no one believes your lie that life for Mizrachi Jews was a paradise without antisemitism. Unlike the "Palestinians," who chose to leave at the behest of leaders who promised them a swift defeat of the Jews in 1948, Mizrachi Jews actually WERE ethnically cleansed out of Arab countries over the course of the 1940s and 1950s. Funny how you leave that basic fact out.

  3. Wow. So many lies and omissions in your description of these camps. First of all, half of Israel was living in camp settlements like this at the time, including Ashkenazi Jews from Europe who arrived after the state was declared. Second, Yemeni Jews were not forced to adopt new, Hebrew names. They chose to, as a sign of identification with their new country. And if Ben Gurion ever actually said he wanted Yemenis to forget where they came from, he meant that they would forget the poverty, misery, and oppression they had been living in before arriving in Israel. You really don't have any respect for context or facts, do you?

  4. Yep. She just conveniently leaves out every fact about what was going on in the Arab world regarding Jews that doesn't fit her "white settler colonialist" narrative.

  5. Dear heart, there never was a "Zionist entity." The name of our country since 1948 is "Israel." Say it yourself. Israel. Israel. Israel.

  6. It's hard to provide references when the story you're telling is mishmash of lies and distortions.

  7. Dear heart, your narrative of the Yemenite Jews doesn't pass a laugh test. You claim that "Yemenite Jews were safe before [leaving Yemen] and endangered on their arrival to the 'white Supremacist colony'" of Israel. People don't just up and leave places where they are safe, happy, and prosperous. They especially don't uproot themselves from such places where they have lived for hundreds of years. It takes a tremendous amount of mendacity to make Israel's rescue of the Yemenite Jews during Operation Magic Carpet, one of the many instances since 1948 of Israel's rescuing Jews from countries where they were unsafe, into a tale of "white supremacy."

  8. "Zionism was invented by victims of white supremacy as their own version of white supremacy, where they could hold top rank." Nope. It is the best expression and flowering of the eternal hope of the Jewish people across 2000 years of exile to be a free people in their own homeland, no matter how many times you tell the baldfaced lie that Zionism is racism.

  9. "The more we learn about anti-Zionism, the more we become disgusted." There, I fixed it for you.

  10. Ok, so your video begins with the standard lie of Israeli "ethnic cleansing" in the 1948 war, but we should take anything else you have to say seriously?
    2
  11. There was no "indigenous Palestinian population," dear heart. There was no "Palestinian people" in 1948 and there is none today.

  12. "[The Mizrachi Jews] had more in common with the 'Palestinians' they were colonizing than with the white settlers they were doing it alonigside or under." Funny how you can't find an actual Mizrachi Jew who shares this perspective. That may have something to do with its being a baldfaced lie. Kind of like your assertion that this incident in Israel's early history proves anything about the inherent nature of Zionism or of the "Zionist entity"--or, as normal, non-antisemitic people call it, the state of Israel.

  13. Where exactly does your obsession with the status of genetic testing in Israel come from?
    1
  14.  @OddWoz  Dear heart, what is your obsession with the DNA of Jews? Jewish identity isn't created or confirmed by DNA. You don't get to deny Jews self-definition any more than you get to deny us self-determination.

  15.  @claudebeland7462  Provide a source for this law.

  16.  @nataliekhanyola5669  Hasbara is something any decent person should be proud to be engaged in, dear heart.

  17. Yes, it's hard to fathom the moral depravity of the "Palestinians," isn't it?
    1
  18.  @nataliekhanyola5669  Yes and it ingnores that that poverty was due to Arab persecution.

  19. But that would force her to tell an accurate story of Israeli history instead of peddling this "white settler colonialist" crap she pretends is Israel's history.
    1
  20. So basically you took the actual history of Israel and removed anything from it that makes clear the "Palestinians" are the aggressors and responsible for their own fate?

  21. Or better yet, support YouTubers who aren't racist, anti-Zionist, and antisemitic.

  22.  @ServusDei-57  Yeah, see, that's actually easy to explain. Western media construct stories on the basis of things called "facts" and "evidence" and therefore don't report on "atrocities" that don't happen. That's how they miss them.

  23. Nope. Israel is a free and democratic state, not a communist one. Try again.

  24.  @MohamedMohamed-tr2rz  No actually we didn't, dear heart. Try reading actual works of history instead of antisemitic conspiracy claptrap.

  25.  @MohamedMohamed-tr2rz  " 'Human rights organizations' with clear Antisemitic biases have been willing to twist logic into a pretzel and destroy their own reputations to make the blatantly false charge that Israel is an apartheid state." There, I fixed it for you.
    1
  26. @MohamedMohamed-tr2rz  Not a Jew. Any more lies you need debunked?
    1
  27. No, dear heart, they didn't. She just chooses to ignore the reasons the Yemenite Jews were eager to emigrate to Israel in the late 1940s: oppressive taxes imposed just for being Jewish and increasing persecution from their Muslim neighbors.
    1
  28.  @287keinHass  Fine with everything you said except that "Jews keep to themselves." While Jews do have a unique and complicated culture, we are not xenophobic and every Jew I know has many non-Jewish friends.

  29. Yeah, see, Israel isn't actually a "settler colonialist" state, dear heart, no matter how many times you repeat that lie. This video, like everything else I've ever seen that purports to show a "Palestinian" narrative, is a mishmash of lies, omissions, and distortions. She conveniently leaves out that many Jews coming into Israel at this time Hebraized their names, as a sign of cultural solidarity with Israel. She provides absolutely no evidence for her claim that Ashkenazi Zionists attempted to obliterate Mizrachi culture, which flourishes in Israel to this day.

  30. No, dear heart. This rant is only proof of your disingenuousness and antisemitism, as no intelligent person can take the charge that Israel is a "settler colonialist" state seriously. But thanks for being so open about your antisemitism. It makes it easier for decent people to avoid you.

  31. The violent supremacists, dear heart, are the Arabs.

  32. Yes, this fits so well with the blood libels, doesn't it? The idea that the "Zionists" (and they really mean "Jews") kidnap children for nefarious purposes.

  33. Your repeated use of the phrases "colonial" and "colonialism" don't change the fact that Israel is a DE-COLONIZING project. In establishing Israel, Jews decolonized the land from British and Arab colonizers.
    1
  34. No matter what word you use, a baldfaced lie when applied to Israel.
    1
  35. "Colonizers across the world have done this." Yeah, see, Israel wasn't and isn't a "colonizer" for the simple reason that a people can't "colonize" its own ancestral homeland. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, many things were chaotic. Multiple investigations of the Yemenite Children's Affair have found that virtually all of the children can be confirmed to have died. The fate of a small minority of this is unknown.

  36. "Israel spun [the rescue of Yemeni Jews] into an Orientalist, white savior story of rescue and redemption." Nope. You see, Jews actually have these things called principles, one of which is love for fellow Jews, so unlike the Arabs, who have let the "Palestinians" languish in poverty for generations to avoid integrating them into their society, Israel did everything it could to bring Jews in danger in Arab countries to Israel. You're the one spinning this into an Orientalist "white savior" story to hide your own racism and antisemitism. But we see through you.

  37. "The colonial creation of Israel ruptured these centuries-old relations." Sorry, not having that complete bullshit, which is two lies in one. Israel was not a "colonial" creation, which I've already dealt with. And its birth didn't "rupture centuries-old relations." That sentence is a whitewashing of what should more properly be called the ethnic cleansing of Jews by Arab countries. It suggests that this ethnic cleansing was an inevitability and not the result of choices Arab governments made, thus denying their responsibility for destruction of Jewish communities that were hundred and sometimes thousands of years old.
