  • What you originally wrote doesn’t imply only leaders.
    The current leaders of Zionist parties that are part of the government are, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Arie Deri. That’s 2 Ashkenazis and 2 Mizrahis.

    They voted for the Likud mostly because of the racism they experienced. That resulted in much more Mizrahi Jews in places of power and the shrinking of the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
    Justifiable or not, that clearly worked in their interest.

    But clearly you’re just looking to attack people, so I’m wasting my time.


  • You wrote it again, but do you mean Revisionist Zionism? I didn’t pretend, as it’s completely irrelevant.
    You wrote that the hardcore Zionist tends to be European. You were corrected that it isn’t true today.
    You should clarify yourself if you meant something else.

    The article points out Mizrahi are more right wing.
    Likud’s voters are still mostly Mizrahi, even if less Mizrahi are voting for them as compared to the past.
    And it isn’t the only right wing party or the most extreme one. Ben Gvir’s party is worse and also has mostly Mizrahi voters.

    I haven’t managed to find the articles that talked about the last election in the context of Mizrahi Jews, but you can go through the last election result map and see the places where the Likud got the highest percentages are almost all Mizrahi dominated.

    And vote against their interests in which way?

































  • I agree it’s more complicated, but it doesn’t change what I wrote.
    A weaker Iran means a weaker Russia and vice versa.
    If both are weakened, Assad is weakened.
    But I guess it’s not as clear cut with Turkey. Although the Kurds will have an easier time when they won’t have to fight Iranian, Syrian and Russian forces along with Turkish ones. And a weakening of Iran will also weaken Iranian-affiliated Iraqi militias that are also attacking Kurds.

    Russia didn’t let Israel, one of their bases were shot at for 40 minutes straight as a warning.
    They also got a bunch of other warnings before and after. Russia won’t waste their time on this when they’re already losing so much in the war with Ukraine.

    Both Russia and Iran helped Assad in the civil war.

    Israel is allied with Azerbaijan because of their border with Iran.

    Turkey was already assisting Hamas even before. They’ll keep trade with Israel behind the scenes for economic reasons like they’ve always done.
    And at the moment Russia is assisting Turkey in bombing the Kurds.
