I find it interesting that Israel as far as I know is giving free self defense classes for WHITE South Africans against native black South Africans. But didn’t do the same thing for BLACK South Africans or BLACK Americans when white people were terrorizing them. But then again I’m not surprised since the way they treat black/African immigrants/refugees already shows their anti-blackness.

Why the white folks need self-defense classes for, they’re the oppressors. Black people are the ones that need those classes so they can defend themselves from the oppressors.

See that’s the thing I find so ironic and racist with these kind of issues. The ones doing the oppressing (white people) get all kinds of self-sustaining skills, which includes things like self-defense. The ones that need it more (Black people) don’t get any of that or if they do, it’s whatever that’s left over.

I did a search for those terms and I didn’t find anything about Israel offering self defense classes to white South Africans in any official capacity. I did see several sources that mentioned a former Israeli special forces guy offering free self defense classes in the headline but I didn’t read the articles because they were all white supremacist websites and I didn’t want to give them traffic.

I know that what anon said seems vaguely believable given that Israel was friendly with South Africa’s government before apartheid was ended (as were many other nations with White leaders including the US) but they are spreading misinformation.

Israel Will Not Recognize Uganda ‘Jews’

This is a shame.

Abayudaya Jews are Jews.

Racism is not a Jewish value. 

Let’s raise our voices in anger and pray in hope for a day when the State of Israel will recognize the entire Jewish people.

Their community has been practicing for over a century, they are Jews through and through. The refusal to let them in is pure racism, and I wish Israel would open its heart. 

The fight isn’t over. The Conservative/Masorti movement is petitioning the High Court to reconsider. If you’re an Israeli, please make noise. I no longer believe that the Israeli government listens to diasporic Jews.

One of my family friends is a member of that community and was devastated by this news. Please reblog and share!

Israel Will Not Recognize Uganda ‘Jews’

There should be a law that says British people are not allowed to talk about Israel and Palestine until they can prove they understand exactly why Britain is responsible for this conflict, how we washed our hands when it became too much like hard work and how we are still enabling murder on both sides.

And then maybe we could all sit and reflect for a moment in our relatively peaceful surroundings on how even the least successful terrorist attack causes us British people to lose our shit and yet we all expect the people of Israel and Palestine to react calmly and reasonably to a century’s history of massacres.

i was at a protest today in support of the palestinian great march of return. a woman from gaza spoke about growing up under israeli occupation and the importance of standing in solidarity with the people marching there today. literally only 20 minutes after she spoke she found out that one of her childhood friends in gaza, a journalist who was at the march, was just murdered by the idf. we all took a moment of silence for him while the jdl marched around the protest with israeli flags, chanting in support of the idf who had just murdered this womans friend. and like honestly its beyond me how anyone could still try to frame the conflict as “equally bad/violent on both sides” or support the israeli state and the idf as they murder innocent people or do anything but give unwavering support for palestinians & palestinian liberation
