    I have literally no idea how Jewish communities sharing specific DNA linking them to the levant has anything to do with white supremacy, or how that makes me a white supremacist. Zionism started after the Jewish Diaspora in 8th century BCE. Are all scientists that study genetics racist? Where are you getting this from and why are you so angry about it?

      No, it didn’t. Zionism started in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

            This is the very first line in the book “Der Judenstaat” by Theodor Herzl, considered to be the father of modern Zionism starting with this book. “The idea which I have developed in this pamphlet is a very old one: it is the restoration of the Jewish State.” Herzl simply renewed the idea in modern times, so many websites will list him as the start. However, a little digging into Jewish history and you will find Zionism is a very old idea.

              The idea is old but the specific movement and the execution of it is very young.

              Zionists are primarily characterised by “the end justify the means” which mostly means they will kill and expell anyone they don’t like.

              Jews however want their promised land but not specifically by violent means.

      Only a white supremacist classifies people into “races” based on arbitrary bullcrap like “sharing specific DNA.” Methinks you don’t seem to know how white supremacism works - despite the fact that you see the world through it’s lens. It’s a pretty common symptom amongst sufferers of the particular disease we call “westernism.”

      Zionism started after the Jewish Diaspora in 8th century BCE.

      No it didn’t, Clyde. Again… it’s such non-controversial history you’ll even find it on wikipedia.

        Race is the wrong word in the modern American context. Jews aren’t a race in the sense of black vs white.

        Jews are, however, an ethnicity - much like how you can be ethnically Navaho or ethnically Basque. It’s a matter of being part of a community of people with a shared culture and ancestry. And yes, beta Israel and Ashkenazim are both ethnically Jewish.

          That’s really weird, Clyde… considering that it’s the only understanding of “race” we have here in our fundamentally white supremacist society.

          Do tell… what does the KKK and the neonazis think of your (supposedly) “nuanced” take on pseudo-scientific “race science?”

            Race used to be commonly used as a synonym of ethnicity - it isn’t rare to see references to the German race, the Celtic race, Greek race, etc.

              Oh… so dividing people into “races” using the most arbitrary characteristics is a recent thing?

              You don’t say.
