Yeah sure, you, a South African, know more than me, an Israeli, about Israel...
It's no surprise that European Jews dominate many parts of Israeli society when you consider the fact that most Jews who came to Israel before 1948 were European (the Jewish population rapidky expanded post-1948 as Jews were driven out of Arab countries), and rich European Jews with Zionist aspirations also invested a lot of money in Israel during this period.
I know you better than you think, Clyde... we were pretty much raised drenched in the same kind of propaganda. After all... Apartheid-South Africa and Israel were besties, weren't they? And despite the fact that the National Party took their white supremacism (and their antisemitism) straight from the nazis, too - imagine that?
Of course it isn't! For sure! You have that in common with every other white supremacist colonialist project out of sheer coincidence... totally not because the people sitting at the top of Israel's political and economic establishments learned their white supremacism from the best in the business - ie, the west.
You know... the west? The people who invented antisemitism right before they invented white supremacism?
"pretty much" being the key words, since the white people who colonised SA had never set foot there before nor had any history or claim to the land, while that absolutely isn't the case for Jewish people returning to their homeland.
