    Ah yes. History began on October 7th. There is no context to anything involving anything prior to October 7th 2023.

    Although even looking at just October 7th and what has happened since… kind of elucidates what the fuck has been going on.

    Hell even 7 decades ago Einstein was looking at what was just starting and went “Well this is some Nazi shit.”

        Saying “this section of the planet belongs to a specific race because they’re fractionally descended from one of the people that lived there a long time ago” is dumb as fuck. Modern people have 0 connection to Jews that long ago and most modern Israeli Jews aren’t actually ethnically similar to Jews thousands of years ago, most Israelis are primarily European descendant or other non-Palestinian descendant.

        Modern Israelis are not the same group as the various historical groups referred to as “Jews”. Your logic is flawed.

          Just a slight correction; something like 60 percent of modern Israelis are Mizrahi, meaning they are from the Middle East and have no European ancestry or connection to Europe. Ethnically they are very similar to the Palestinians and if you put them together in a mixed group, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart based on appearance alone.

          There’s also no reason to think that Mizrahi Jews aren’t largely descended from the ancient Jewish population since wherever they’ve lived in the Middle East, they’ve never been fully integrated and have always been pretty insular. Most scholars think that the same is true to a lesser extent of Ashkenazi Jews as well, though obviously they have a lot more European ancestry.

            That’s all Israelis including non-Jews afaik, when we specify Israeli Jews the number is allegedly at least 50-60% being of mainly European descent.

        The more reasonable and manageable timeframe might be closer to living generations currently in existence.

        The hyperbole kind of misses its intended mark when itself misses the context of a call for context.
