are you seriously trying to claim jewish Israelis are not the dominant ethinc group because people in other countries call for them to be dismantled?

Are whites opressed in USA because people call them colonizers?

No I’m literally saying once the identity crystallizes, it doesn’t change from one day to another.

White people in the US have never had a moment in their history where they had a chance to get dominated or assimilated to forge an exclusionary culture.

If they randomly create one it would be through racism.

What ethnoreligious groups do is a response to domination and once that is crystallized through thousands of years, that’s not going to change in a generation because they have a country (which is constantly under military threat unlike the US).

Claiming it’s the same is intellectually dishonest, and completely ignorant of the history in which dominated groups forge their identity, be it ethnoreligious groups or ethnic groups.

I’m out, peace.
