      It’s absolutely a question for me given that I’m Ashkenazi Jewish but atheist. My family came here from Germany after the Holocaust and now are just white because nobody practices the religion and that’s how almost all Ashkenazi Jews self-identify in the United States. I have no meaningful connection to Palestine whatsoever and don’t really agree that other white people have some kind of right to it.

      It is a simple fact that Zionism didn’t really take off until sunscreen was invented and that’s for a reason. If white people descended from Africans 10,000 years ago came up with some kind of genetic marker or religious excuse would you agree they should use violence to take African cities from their inhabitants?
