Less than half of Israelis are Askenazi, and unless your solution is to "ethnically cleanse" by sending people back to the countries their grandparents fled, it hardly matters.

Americans and Europeans have the false notion that Israeli Jews are predominantly European. They are not.

> Ashkenazis are Europeans

Okay? So are most American Jews.

Most humans can legitimately claim ancestry to the Levant. It's the coast closest to the cradle of civilization.

There is absolutely evil happening in Gaza. But pretending this is black-and-white, from an ocean away, is just alienating. It turns what should be a broad political discussion into a niche issue.
