    Their entire fucking culture is artificially divorced from the Ashkenazi European culture of their parents/ grandparents. Like they could’ve organically spoken Yiddish, but they chose to revive Hebrew all bc of the Torah. Hebrew was a dead Afroasiatic language, and their revived version of it is so Europeanized and distorted that you could barely even call it Hebrew. Their accent literally sounds like a Frenchman attempting a racist impersonation of an Arab

    They also changed their surnames in mass to sound less European (e.g. Netanyahu’s dad’s surname was “Mileikowsky” before he changed it to Netanyahu). Not to mention the decades of gross racism, cultural theft, and forced assimilation of the native Mizhrahis/ Arab-Jews; with many European-Jewish settlers even straight up kidnapping Arab-Jewish children to raise as their own

    Israel is like if the Italian-American Mafia violently colonized modern Italy, changed Italy’s name back to the Holy Roman Empire, sloppily brought back the Latin language of their ancient ancestors, and changed their last names from Sopranos and Marios to Caesars and Corneliuss
